Psalmowo 120

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

A Song of Ascents. In my distress I cried unto Jehovah, And he answered me.

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

Deliver my soul, O Jehovah, from lying lips, [And] from a deceitful tongue.

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

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

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

Sharp arrows of the mighty, With coals of juniper.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul hath long had her dwelling With him that hateth peace.

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

I am [for] peace: But when I speak, they are for war.
