1
שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲלֹ֥ות אֶל־יְ֭הוָה בַּצָּרָ֣תָה לִּ֑י קָ֝רָ֗אתִי וַֽיַּעֲנֵֽנִי׃
A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.
2
יְֽהוָ֗ה הַצִּ֣ילָה נַ֭פְשִׁי מִשְּׂפַת־שֶׁ֑קֶר מִלָּשֹׁ֥ון רְמִיָּֽה׃
Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
3
מַה־יִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֭ךָ וּמַה־יֹּסִ֥יף לָ֗ךְ לָשֹׁ֥ון רְמִיָּֽה׃
What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
4
חִצֵּ֣י גִבֹּ֣ור שְׁנוּנִ֑ים עִ֝֗ם גַּחֲלֵ֥י רְתָמִֽים׃
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
5
אֹֽויָה־לִ֭י כִּי־גַ֣רְתִּי מֶ֑שֶׁךְ כַ֗נְתִּי עִֽם־אָהֳלֵ֥י קֵדָֽר׃
Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
6
רַ֭בַּת שָֽׁכְנָה־לָּ֣הּ נַפְשִׁ֑י עִ֝֗ם שֹׂונֵ֥א שָׁלֹֽום׃
My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
7
אֲ‍ֽנִישָׁ֭־לֹום וְכִ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר הֵ֝֗מָּה לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
