Tingtoeng 120

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

“A song of the degrees.” Unto the Lord, when I was in distress, did I call, and he hath answered me.

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

O Lord, deliver my soul from lips of falsehood, and from a tongue of deceit.

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

What will [God] give unto thee? or what will he add unto thee, thou tongue of deceit?

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

Sharpened arrows of the mighty, with coals of the broom-bush.

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 in Meshech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

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

Too long for herself hath my soul dwelt with him that hateth peace.

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

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