Psalm 120

1 Ke nga muta in ongoiya, nga pang nu sin LEUM GOD A El topukyu.

A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

2 LEUM GOD moliyula Liki mwet kikiap a mwet kutasrik.

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

3 Kowos, mwet kikiap, mea God El a oru nu suwos? El a kai kowos fuka?

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

4 Ke sukan pisr kosro nutin sie mwet mweun, A mulut firir!

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

5 Ke nga muta inmasrlowos, arulana koluk oana nga in muta in acn Meshech Ku muta inmasrlon mwet Kedar.

Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

6 Loesla pacl nga muta Inmasrlon mwet su srunga misla.

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

7 Ke pacl nga sramsram ke misla, Elos ac lungse mweun.

I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.
