Tingtoeng 120

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

A Song of the going up. In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.

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

O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.

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

What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.

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

Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.

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

My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.

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

I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
