Psalms 120
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.
1Naʻaku tangi kia Sihova ʻi heʻeku mamahi, pea naʻa ne ongoʻi au.
2O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
2ʻE Sihova, fakahaofi hoku laumālie mei he loungutu loi, pea mei he ʻelelo kākā.
3What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?
3Ko e hā ʻe ʻatu kiate koe? He ko e hā ʻe fai kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e ʻelelo kākā?
4Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.
4ʻAe ngaahi ngahau māsila ʻae tangata mālohi, mo e ngaahi malalaʻi afi ʻoe sunipa.
5Woe is me, that I sojourn with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!
5ʻOku ou malaʻia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku ʻāunofo ʻi Meseki, koeʻuhi ko ʻeku nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Keta!
6My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.
6Kuo nofo ʻo fuoloa ʻa hoku laumālie fakataha mo ia ʻoku ne fehiʻa ki he melino.
7I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
7ʻOku ou loto ki he melino: ka ʻi heʻeku lea ʻoku nau fie tau.
