Psalms 120

1 A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.

Ɔsoroforo dwom. Misu frɛ Awurade wɔ mʼahohiahia mu, na ogye me so.

2 O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

Awurade, gye me fi atoro ano, ne nnaadaa tɛkrɛma nsam.

3 What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

Dɛn na ɔbɛyɛ wo, na dɛn na ɛka ho bio, wo nnaadaa tɛkrɛma?

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.

Ɔde asraafo bɛmma a ano yɛ nnam ne nnyansramma bɛtwe wʼaso.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

Nnome nka me sɛ metena Mesek, na mete Kedar ntamadan mu!

6 My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

Matena wɔn a wokyi asomdwoe mu akyɛ dodo.

7 I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.

Meyɛ asomdwoe nipa; nanso sɛ mekasa a, wɔde yɛ ɔko.
