Salamo 120

1 Fihirana fiakarana.

A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

2 Jehovah ô, vonjeo ny fanahiko amin’ ny molotra mandainga, Eny, amin’ ny lela mamitaka

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

3 Inona no homeny anao, ary inona koa no hataony aminao, Ry lela mamitaka?

What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

4 Zana-tsipìkan’ ny mahery sady voaranitra, Mbamin’ ny vain’ afon’ anjavidy.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5 Lozako, fa mivahiny eto amin’ ny Maseka aho Ary mitoetra ato an-dain’ ny Kedarita!

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 Ela loatra izay no nitoeran’ ny fanahiko teo amin’ Izay tsy tia fihavanana.

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

7 Raha izaho, dia fihavanana; Kanjo nony miteny aho, dia mila ady kosa ireny.

I [am for] peace: but when I speak, they [are] for war.
