Psalms 120

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

NI ai apwal akan i likwir wong Ieowa, a ap kotin mangi ia.

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

Maing Ieowa, kotin dore ia la, sang au en me kin likam, o lo en kotaue.

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

Da me lo likam kak wiai ong uk, o da me a kak kapwaiada?

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

A rasong kanangan kasik katieu kong kan ren me kelail amen, dueta kisiniai nan alek.

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

Meid apwal ong ia, ai kairu nan Mesek, o ai kauson impan im en men Kedar!

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

Meid warai ong ai kaukauson ren aramas akan me kin tataki muei mau.

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

I inong iong muei mau, a ni ai pan lokaia, re kin mauki mauin.
