Ahni Shalom (Psalm 120 in Hebrew)

(transliteration)

 
El Adonai bathsah rahtahli 
Karahti vayah ahneni 
Adonaihahtsila nafshi 
Misvaht sheker mila shown rahmiyah 
Mah yiten lecha mah Yosif
Lacha la shown rahmiyah 
Chitse gibor shinunim eem gahchaley 
retahmim
Ohyahlikiarti Meshek 
Shachnahti in ah-hale Kedar 
Rahbaht shachnah lah nafshi
Im sohneh shalom 
Ahni Shalom vehchi ahdahber 
Hemah lemilchamah
 
Translation to English

I Am a Man of Peace

I call on the LORD in my distress, 
and He answers me. 
Save me, O LORD , from lying lips 
and from deceitful tongues. 
What will he do to you, 
and what more besides, O deceitful tongue? 
He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows, 
with burning coals of the broom tree. 
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, 
that I live among the tents of Kedar! 
Too long have I lived 
among those who hate peace. 
I am a man of peace; but when I speak, 
they are for war.
