< Psalms 120 >

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.
Rwiyo rworwendo. Ndinodana kuna Jehovha mukutambudzika kwangu, uye anondipindura.
2 O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
Haiwa Jehovha, ndiponesei pamiromo inoreva nhema, nendimi dzinonyengera.
3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?
Achaiteiko kwauri, uye chimwe chiiko kunze kwezvizvi, iwe rurimi runonyengera?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.
Achakuranga nemiseve yakapinza yemhare, namazimbe anopfuta omuti womurara.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!
Ndine nhamo ini ndinogara muMesheki, kuti ndinogara pakati pamatende eKedhari!
6 My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.
Ndakagara nguva refu pakati pavanovenga rugare.
7 I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
Ndiri munhu worugare; asi pandinotaura, ivo ndevehondo.
