Psalmorum 120

1 canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called to YHWH in my distress, And He answers me.

2 Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

O YHWH, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

3 quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

What does He give to you? And what does He add to you? O deceitful tongue!

4 sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus desolatoriis

Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with coals of broom trees.

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

Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

6 multum incola fuit anima mea

My soul has dwelt too much with him who is hating peace.

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

I—peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
