Tingtoeng 120

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

A Song of Ascents. Unto Yahweh, in the distress that befell me, I cried—and he answered me.

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

O Yahweh! rescue thou my soul—from the false lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

What shall be given to thee, and what shall be added to thee, thou deceitful tongue?

4 Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

The arrows of the hero sharpened, with burning 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 in Meshek, —That I abide near the tents of Kedar!

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

Long, hath my soul had her dwelling with him that hateth peace:

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

I, am for peace, and verily I speak, They, are for war!
