¹(120) A Song of Degrees. In my affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

¹ALEPH Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to Yahweh’s law.

²Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

²Blessed are those who keep his statutes, who seek him with their whole heart.

³What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

³Yes, they do nothing wrong. They walk in his ways.

⁴Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

⁴You have commanded your precepts, that we should fully obey them.

⁵Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

⁵Oh that my ways were steadfast to obey your statutes!

⁶My soul has long been a sojourner;

⁶Then I wouldn’t be disappointed, when I consider all of your commandments.

⁷I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.

⁷I will give thanks to you with uprightness of heart, when I learn your righteous judgments.
