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

Ekuhluphekeni kwami ngakhala eNkosini, yangiphendula.

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

Nkosi, khulula umphefumulo wami kundebe zamanga, kulimi lwenkohliso.

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

Uzanikwani, njalo kuzakwengezelelwani kuwe, limi lwenkohliso?

4 arrow mighty man to sharpen with coal broom

Imitshoko ebukhali yeqhawe, lamalahle avuthayo esihlahla serotemu!

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

Maye kimi, ngoba ngihlala njengowezizwe koMesheki, ngihlala emathenteni eKedari!

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

Umphefumulo wami sekukade wahlala laye ozonda ukuthula.

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

Ngingowokuthula, kodwa lapho ngikhuluma, bangabempi.
