Psalms 120

1 [A Song of Ascents.] In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

NI ai apwal akan i likwir wong Ieowa, a ap kotin mangi ia.

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

Maing Ieowa, kotin dore ia la, sang au en me kin likam, o lo en kotaue.

3 What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

Da me lo likam kak wiai ong uk, o da me a kak kapwaiada?

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

A rasong kanangan kasik katieu kong kan ren me kelail amen, dueta kisiniai nan alek.

5 Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

Meid apwal ong ia, ai kairu nan Mesek, o ai kauson impan im en men Kedar!

6 My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

Meid warai ong ai kaukauson ren aramas akan me kin tataki muei mau.

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

I inong iong muei mau, a ni ai pan lokaia, re kin mauki mauin.
