Psalms 120

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he hearkened to me.

ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πρὸς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐκέκραξα καὶ εἰσήκουσέν μου

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ χειλέων ἀδίκων καὶ ἀπὸ γλώσσης δολίας

3 What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for [thy] crafty tongue?

τί δοθείη σοι καὶ τί προστεθείη σοι πρὸς γλῶσσαν δολίαν

4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

τὰ βέλη τοῦ δυνατοῦ ἠκονημένα σὺν τοῖς ἄνθραξιν τοῖς ἐρημικοῖς

5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

οἴμμοι ὅτι ἡ παροικία μου ἐμακρύνθη κατεσκήνωσα μετὰ τῶν σκηνωμάτων Κηδαρ

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

πολλὰ παρῴκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου

7 I was peaceable among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.

μετὰ τῶν μισούντων τὴν εἰρήνην ἤμην εἰρηνικός ὅταν ἐλάλουν αὐτοῖς ἐπολέμουν με δωρεάν
