Psalms 120

canticum graduum ad Dominum in tribulatione mea clamavi et exaudivit me

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

Domine libera animam meam a labio mendacii a lingua dolosa

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

quid detur tibi aut quid adponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam

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

sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus iuniperorum

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

heu mihi quia peregrinatio mea prolongata est habitavi cum tabernaculis Cedar

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

multum peregrinata est anima mea

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

cum odientibus pacem ego pacifica loquebar et illi bellantia

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