Psalms 120

In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

إِلَى الرَّبِّ فِي ضِيْقِي صَرَخْتُ فَاسْتَجَابَ لِي.

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

يَا رَبُّ، نَجِّ نَفْسِي مِنْ شِفَاهِ الْكَذِبِ، مِنْ لِسَانِ غِشٍّ.

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

مَاذَا يُعْطِيكَ وَمَاذَا يَزِيدُ لَكَ لِسَانُ الْغِشِّ؟

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

سِهَامَ جَبَّارٍ مَسْنُونَةً مَعَ جَمْرِ الرَّتَمِ.

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

وَيْلِي لِغُرْبَتِي فِي مَاشِكَ، لِسَكَنِي فِي خِيَامِ قِيدَارَ!

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

طَالَ عَلَى نَفْسِي سَكَنُهَا مَعَ مُبْغِضِ السَّلاَمِ.

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

أَنَا سَلاَمٌ، وَحِينَمَا أَتَكَلَّمُ فَهُمْ لِلْحَرْبِ.
