Tingtoeng 120

1 [Tangtlaeng Laa] Kamah kah citcai khuiah BOEIPA te ka khue tih kai n'doo.

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

2 BOEIPA aw ka hinglu he laithae hmuilai lamkah neh palyal ol lamloh huul lah.

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

3 Palyal ol te nang taengah bahamnim m'paek vetih bahamnim nang taengah hang koei eh?

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

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

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

5 Meshek ah ka bakuep tih Kedar dap ah kho ka sak dongah kai ngawn tah ka tuisawih coeng!

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

6 Rhoepnah aka hmuhuet taengah ka hinglu loh kho puet a sak coeng.

Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

7 Kai loh rhoepnah ka thui vaengah amih te caemtloek la thoo uh.

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