Tingtoeng 121

1 Tangtlaeng laa Kai bomkung me lamkah nim ha pawk ve? tila tlang taengah ka mik ka huel.

A Song of degrees. I lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: whence shall my help come?

2 Kai aka bomkung tah vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni.

My help [cometh] from Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.

3 Na kho te paloe ham khueh pawt vetih nang aka dawn te a mikku mahpawh.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Israel aka dawn loh tarha a mikku pawt vetih ip mahpawh.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 BOEIPA loh nang n'ngaithuen tih BOEIPA tah na bantang kut ah na hlipkhup la om.

Jehovah is thy keeper, Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand;

6 Khothaih ah khomik loh, khoyin kah hla long khaw nang n'ngawn mahpawh.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 BOEIPA loh nang te yoethae cungkuem lamloh n'khoembael vetih na hinglu te a ngaithuen ni.

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil; he will keep thy soul.

8 Na cet tih na pawk due, tahae lamloh kumhal duela BOEIPA loh n'ngaithuen ni.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth and for evermore.
