Tingtoeng 120

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

A Song of Ascents. In my distress I called unto the LORD, and He answered me.

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

O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given unto thee, and what shall be done more unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of broom.

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 with Meshech, that I dwell beside the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul hath full long had her dwelling with him that hateth peace.

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

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