Salmos 120

1Cántico gradual. A Yahvé clamé en medio de mi tribulación y Él me escuchó.

2Yahvé, libra mi alma del labio engañoso, de la lengua astuta.

3¿Qué te dará o qué te añadirá (Yahvé), oh lengua astuta?

4Saetas de un potente aguzadas en ascuas de retama.

5¡Ay de mí, advenedizo en Mósoc, alojado en las tiendas de Cedar!

6Demasiado tiempo ha habitado mi alma entre los que odian la paz.

7Yo soy hombre de paz; apenas hablo, y ellos mueven la guerra.

1Canticum graduum. [Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi, et exaudivit me.

2Domine, libera animam meam a labiis iniquis et a lingua dolosa.

3Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam?

4Sagittæ potentis acutæ, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.

5Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est ! habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar;

6multum incola fuit anima mea.

7Cum his qui oderunt pacem eram pacificus; cum loquebar illis, impugnabant me gratis.]

1In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

2O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

3What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.

4The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

5Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:

6My soul hath been long a sojourner.

7With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
