Psalm 120

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

A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.

2 LEUM GOD moliyula Liki mwet kikiap a mwet kutasrik.

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

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

What shall be given to thee? or what shall be done to thee, thou false tongue?

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

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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 Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

6 Loesla pacl nga muta Inmasrlon mwet su srunga misla.

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

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

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