O Jehovah, 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 doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!

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

Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.
7 Kai loh rhoepnah ka thui vaengah amih te caemtloek la thoouh.
