Tingtoeng 121

1 Tangtlaeng laa Kai bomkung me lamkah nim ha pawk ve? tila tlang taengah ka mik ka huel.

“A song for the degrees.” I lift up my eyes unto the mountains: whence shall come my help?

2 Kai aka bomkung tah vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni.

My help is from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

3 Na kho te paloe ham khueh pawt vetih nang aka dawn te a mikku mahpawh.

He will not suffer thy foot to slip: thy keeper doth not slumber.

4 Israel aka dawn loh tarha a mikku pawt vetih ip mahpawh.

Behold, he slumbereth not, and he sleepeth not—the keeper of Israel.

5 BOEIPA loh nang n'ngaithuen tih BOEIPA tah na bantang kut ah na hlipkhup la om.

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade, he is on thy right hand.

6 Khothaih ah khomik loh, khoyin kah hla long khaw nang n'ngawn mahpawh.

By day the sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night.

7 BOEIPA loh nang te yoethae cungkuem lamloh n'khoembael vetih na hinglu te a ngaithuen ni.

The Lord will guard thee against all evil: he will guard thy soul.

8 Na cet tih na pawk due, tahae lamloh kumhal duela BOEIPA loh n'ngaithuen ni.

The Lord will guard thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
