Psalm 120

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

A Song of Ascents. Unto Yahweh, in the distress that befell me, I cried—and he answered me.

2 LEUM GOD moliyula Liki mwet kikiap a mwet kutasrik.

O Yahweh! rescue thou my soul—from the false lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given to thee, and what shall be added to thee, thou deceitful tongue?

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

The arrows of the hero sharpened, with burning coals of broom.

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

Woe is me, That I sojourn in Meshek, —That I abide near the tents of Kedar!

6 Loesla pacl nga muta Inmasrlon mwet su srunga misla.

Long, hath my soul had her dwelling with him that hateth peace:

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

I, am for peace, and verily I speak, They, are for war!
