Psalms 120

NEW JERUSALEM	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 graduum. Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi.
2 Yahweh, save me from lying lips and a treacherous tongue!	2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.
3 What will he repay you, what more, treacherous tongue?	3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te.
4 War-arrows made sharp over red-hot charcoal.	4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël.
5 How wretched I am, living in Meshech, dwel ing in the tents of Kedar!	5 Dominus custodit te ; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam.
6 Too long have I lived among people who hate peace.	6 Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem.
7 When I speak of peace they are all for war!	7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo ; custodiat animam tuam Dominus.
	8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
