A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I have called to YHWH in my distress, And He answers me.

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

O YHWH, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

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

What does He give to you? And what does He add to you? O deceitful tongue!

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with coals of broom trees.

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

Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

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

My soul has dwelt too much with him who is hating peace.

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

I—peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
