Psalms 120

1 A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

I LOKO o ko'u pilikia, kahea aku la au ia Iehova, A hoolohe mai la oia ia'u.

2 Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

E Iehova, e hoopakele mai oe i ko'u uhane i na lehelehe wahahee, A me ke elelo hoopunipuni.

3 What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

Heaha ka mea e haawiia'ku ai ia oe, A e hoopili hou ia mai ai ia oe, E ke elelo hoopunipuni?

4 It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

Na pua oi o ka mea ikaika, A me na lanahu rotema.

5 Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

Auwe hoi au'i ko'u noho malihini ana ma Meseka, I ko'u noho ana hoi ma na halelewa o Kedera!

6 My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

Ua noho loihi ko'u uhane, Me ka mea i inaina mai i ka maluhia.

7 I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.

Ma ka maluhia no wau; a ia'u e olelo aku ai, Ma ke kaua no lakou la.
