A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

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

Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

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

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

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

Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

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

I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.
