Psalmorum 120

1 canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

In my distress I cried to Jehovah, and he answered me.

2 Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3 quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

What shall be given to thee, and what shall be done more to thee, thou deceitful tongue?

4 sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus desolatoriis

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5 heu mihi quia incolatus meus prolongatus est habitavi cum habitationibus Cedar

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 multum incola fuit anima mea

My soul has long had her dwelling with him who hates peace.

7 cum his qui oderant pacem eram pacificus cum loquebar illis inpugnabant me gratis

I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
