Psalmi 120

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