Psalms 120

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 [Song of Ascents *{* The Songs of Ascents (Pss 120-134) were sung by pilgrims on their way up toJerusalem.} ] To Yahweh when I am in trouble I call and he answers me.	1 Canticum ascensionum. Ad Dominum, cum tribularer, clamavi, et exaudivit me.
2 Yahweh, save me from lying lips and a treacherous tongue!	2 Domine, libera animam meam a labiis mendacii, a lingua dolosa.
3 What will he repay you, what more, treacherous tongue?	3 Quid detur tibi aut quid apponatur tibi, lingua dolosa?
4 War-arrows made sharp over red-hot charcoal.	4 Sagittae potentis acutae cum carbonibus iuniperorum.
5 How wretched I am, living in Meshech, dwel ing in the tents of Kedar!	5 Heu mihi, quia peregrinatus sum in Mosoch, habitavi ad tabernacula Cedar!
6 Too long have I lived among people who hate peace.	6 Multum incola fuit anima mea cum his, qui oderunt pacem.
7 When I speak of peace they are all for war!	7 Ego eram pacificus; cum loquebar, illi impugnabant me.
