Psalmorum 120

1 canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.

2 Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

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

3 quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

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

4 sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus desolatoriis

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

6 multum incola fuit anima mea

My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

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

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