Psalmorum 120

1 canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

2 Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

3 quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

4 sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus desolatoriis

It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

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

Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

6 multum incola fuit anima mea

My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

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

I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
