Psalms 120

1 song [the] step to(wards) LORD in/on/with distress [to] to/for me to call: call to and to answer me

Ingoma yemiqanso. Ngiyambiza uThixo ngisosizini, laye angiphendule.

2 LORD to rescue [emph?] soul: myself my from lips deception from tongue deceit

Ngisindisa, Oh Thixo, ezindebeni zamanga lezindimini zenkohliso.

3 what? to give: give to/for you and what? to add to/for you tongue deceit

Uzakwenzani kuwe, aphinde enzeni njalo, wena limi lwenkohliso?

4 arrow mighty man to sharpen with coal broom

Uzakujezisa ngomtshoko obukhali owebutho, ngamalahle avuthayo esihlahla.

5 woe! to/for me for to sojourn Meshech to dwell with tent Kedar

Maye mina ngokuhlala kwami eMesheki, ngokuthi ngihlala emathenteni aseKhedari!

6 many to dwell to/for her soul: myself my with to hate peace

Sengihlale isikhathi eside kakhulu phakathi kwalabo abazonda ukuthula.

7 I peace and for to speak: speak they(masc.) to/for battle

Ngingumuntu wokuthula; kodwa ngithi ngingakhuluma, sebefuna impi.
