Psalms 120 — 4 originals side by side

Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

120:1
שִׁ֗יר הַֽמַּ֫עֲל֥וֹת אֶל־יְ֭הֹוָה בַּצָּרָ֣תָה לִּ֑י קָ֝רָ֗אתִי וַֽיַּעֲנֵֽנִי׃
ᾠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν πρὸς κύριον ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με ἐκέκραξα καὶ εἰσήκουσέν μου
Canticum graduum. Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi, et exaudivit me.
ማኅሌት ፡ ዘበመዓርጊሁ ። ኀቤከ ፡ እግዚኦ ፡ ጸራኅኩ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ተመንደብኩ ፡ ወሰማዕከኒ ።
In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.
120:2
יְֽהֹוָ֗ה הַצִּ֣ילָה נַ֭פְשִׁי מִשְּׂפַת־שֶׁ֑קֶר מִלָּשׁ֥וֹן רְמִיָּֽה׃
κύριε ῥῦσαι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ χειλέων ἀδίκων καὶ ἀπὸ γλώσσης δολίας
Domine, libera animam meam a labiis iniquis et a lingua dolosa.
እግዚኦ ፡ አድኅና ፡ ለነፍስየ ፡ እምከናፍረ ፡ ዐመፃ ፤ ወእምልሳነ ፡ ጽልሑት ።
Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
120:3
מַה־יִּתֵּ֣ן לְ֭ךָ וּמַה־יֹּסִ֥יף לָ֗ךְ לָשׁ֥וֹן רְמִיָּֽה׃
τί δοθείη σοι καὶ τί προστεθείη σοι πρὸς γλῶσσαν δολίαν
Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponatur tibi ad linguam dolosam ?
ምንተ ፡ ይሁብከ ፡ ወምንተ ፡ ይዌስኩከ ፡ በእንተ ፡ ከናፍረ ፡ ጕሕሉት ።
What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?
120:4
חִצֵּ֣י גִבּ֣וֹר שְׁנוּנִ֑ים עִ֝֗ם גַּחֲלֵ֥י רְתָמִֽים׃
τὰ βέλη τοῦ δυνατοῦ ἠκονημένα σὺν τοῖς ἄνθραξιν τοῖς ἐρημικοῖς
Sagittae potentis acutae, cum carbonibus desolatoriis.
አሕጻሁ ፡ ለኀያል ፡ ስሑል ፤ ከመ ፡ አፍሓመ ፡ ሐቅል ።
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
120:5
אֽוֹיָה־לִ֭י כִּי־גַ֣רְתִּי מֶ֑שֶׁךְ שָׁ֝כַ֗נְתִּי עִֽם־אׇהֳלֵ֥י קֵדָֽר׃
οἴμμοι ὅτι ἡ παροικία μου ἐμακρύνθη κατεσκήνωσα μετὰ τῶν σκηνωμάτων Κηδαρ
Heu mihi, quia incolatus meus prolongatus est ! habitavi cum habitantibus Cedar ;
ሴልየ ፡ ዘርሕቀ ፡ ማኅደርየ ፤ ወኀደርኩ ፡ ውስተ ፡ አዕጻዳተ ፡ እለ ፡ ቄዳር ።
Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
120:6
רַ֭בַּת שָֽׁכְנָה־לָּ֣הּ נַפְשִׁ֑י עִ֝֗ם שׂוֹנֵ֥א שָׁלֽוֹם׃
πολλὰ παρῴκησεν ἡ ψυχή μου
multum incola fuit anima mea.
ብዙኀ ፡ ተዐገሠት ፡ ነፍስየ ፤ ምስለ ፡ እለ ፡ ይጸልኡ ፡ ሰላመ ።
My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.
120:7
אֲֽנִי־שָׁ֭לוֹם וְכִ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר הֵ֝֗מָּה לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ {פ}
μετὰ τῶν μισούντων τὴν εἰρήνην ἤμην εἰρηνικός ὅταν ἐλάλουν αὐτοῖς ἐπολέμουν με δωρεάν
Cum his qui oderunt pacem eram pacificus ; cum loquebar illis, impugnabant me gratis.
እንዘ ፡ ሰላማዊ ፡ አነ ፤ ወሶበ ፡ እትነገሮሙ ፡ ይፀብኡኒ ፡ በከንቱ ።
I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
