{א} שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת אֶל יְהוָה בַּצָּרָתָה לִּי קָרָאתִי וַיַּעֲנֵנִי:
{ב} יְהוָה הַצִּילָה נַפְשִׁי מִשְּׂפַת שֶׁקֶר מִלָּשׁוֹן רְמִיָּה:
{ג} מַה יִּתֵּן לְךָ וּמַה יֹּסִיף לָךְ לָשׁוֹן רְמִיָּה:
{ד} חִצֵּי גִבּוֹר שְׁנוּנִים עִם גַּחֲלֵי רְתָמִים:
{ה} אוֹיָה לִי כִּי גַרְתִּי מֶשֶׁךְ שָׁכַנְתִּי עִם אָהֳלֵי קֵדָר:
{ו} רַבַּת שָׁכְנָה לָּהּ נַפְשִׁי עִם שׂוֹנֵא שָׁלוֹם:
{ז} אֲנִי שָׁלוֹם וְכִי אֲדַבֵּר הֵמָּה לַמִּלְחָמָה:

Tehillim 120 : Transliteration

Shir hamaalot, el Adonai batsaráta li caráti vaiaanêni
Adonai hatsíla hafshi missefat shéker, milashon remiya
Ma yiten lecha uma iossif lach lashon remiya
Chitsê guibor shenunim, im gachalê retamim
Oia li ki garti méshech, shachánti im aholê Kedar
Rabat shachna la nafshi im sone shalom
Ani shalom, vechi adaber hêma lamilchama

Tehillim 120 - Tehillim translated into english

1. A Song of Maalot. In my distress I cried to the Lord, and he answered me!
2. Save my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue!
3. What shall be given to you? What shall be done to you, O false tongue? 4. Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of the broom tree!
5. Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
6. My soul has long dwelt with those who hate peace!
7. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war!
