Psalmowo 120

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

A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

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

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

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

Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

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

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

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

My soul has long been a sojourner;

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

I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
