Psalms 120

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he hearkened to me.

Waƙar haurawa. Na yi kira ga Ubangiji cikin damuwata, ya kuwa amsa mini.

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

Ka cece ni, ya Ubangiji, daga leɓuna masu ƙarya da kuma daga harsuna masu yaudara.

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

Me zai yi maka, me kuma ya fi, ya kai harshe mai yaudara?

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

Zai hukunta ku da kibiyoyi masu tsini na jarumi, tare da garwashin wuta na itacen tsintsiya.

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

Kaitona da nake zama a Meshek, da nake zama a ciki tentunan Kedar!

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

Da daɗewa na zauna a cikin waɗanda suke ƙin salama.

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

Ni mutum ne mai salama; amma sa’ad da na yi magana, su sai su yi ta yaƙi.
