Psalmowo 120

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

A Song of Ascents. In my distress, I cried to the LORD. He answered me.

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

Deliver my soul, LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

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

What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you 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 live in Meshech, that I dwell amongst the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

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

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