Tingtoeng 120

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

A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he hearkened to me.

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

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for [thy] crafty tongue?

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

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

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

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

My soul has long been a sojourner;

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

I was peaceable among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
