Psalms 120

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

NI ai apwal akan i likwir won Ieowa, a ap kotin mani ia.

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

Main Ieowa, kotin dore ia la, jan au en me kin likam, o lo en kotaue.

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

Da me lo likam kak wiai on uk, o da me a kak kapwaiada!

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

A rajon kananan kajik katieu kon kan ren me kelail amen, dueta kijiniai nan alek.

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

Meid apwal on ia, ai kairu nan Mejek, o ai kaujon impan im en men Kedar!

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

Meid warai on ai kaukaujon ren aramaj akan me kin tataki muei mau.

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

I inon ion muei mau, a ni ai pan lokaia, re kin mauki mauin.
