Tingtoeng 120

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

“A psalm of steps.” In my distress I called upon the LORD, And he answered me.

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

O LORD! deliver me from lying lips, From the deceitful tongue!

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

What profit to thee, Or what advantage to thee, is the false tongue?

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

It is like the sharp arrows of the mighty man; Like coals of the juniper.

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

Alas for me, that I sojourn in Mesech, That I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

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

Too long have I dwelt With them that hate peace!

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

I am for peace; yet, when I speak for it, They are for war.
