Psalmowo 120

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

A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

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

Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added 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 a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

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 dwelt with them that hate peace.

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

I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.
