Psalmorum 120

1 canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

2 Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

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

3 quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

4 sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus desolatoriis

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

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

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

6 multum incola fuit anima mea

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

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

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
