Psalmorum 120

1 canticum graduum ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi et exaudivit me

[A Song of Ascents.] In my distress, I cried to YHWH. He answered me.

2 Domine libera animam meam a labiis iniquis a lingua dolosa

Deliver my soul, YHWH, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3 quid detur tibi et quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you 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 live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

6 multum incola fuit anima mea

My soul has had her dwelling too long 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.
