Psalms 120

1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.

Mɔzɔha. Meyɔ Yehowa le nye xaxa me, eye wòtɔ nam.

2 O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

O! Yehowa, ɖem, tso aʋatsonuyiwo kple alakpaɖewo ƒe asi me.

3 What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!

O! Alakpaɖe, nu ka wòawɔ na wò, eye nu ka wòatsɔ akpee na wò?

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.

Atsɔ aʋawɔla ƒe aŋutrɔ ɖaɖɛwo ahe to na wòe kpe ɖe yɔkuti ƒe dzoka xɔxɔwo ŋuti.

5 Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

Baba nam be mele Mesek, eye mele Kedar ƒe agbadɔwo me!

6 Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.

Menɔ ame siwo lé fu ŋutifafa la dome wòdidi fũu akpa.

7 I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!

Ŋutifafamee menye, gake ne meƒo nu la, woawo kpea aʋa.
