< Tingtoeng 123 >
1 Tangtlaeng Laa Vaan ah aka ngol nang taengla ka mik te ka huel.
A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.
2 A boei rhoek kut taengkah salpa rhoek kah mik bangla, a boeinu kut taengkah salnu mik bangla mamih n'rhen duela mamih mik he mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA taengah om van ne.
Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes [look] unto the LORD our God, until he have mercy upon us.
3 Nueihbu he muep ka cung coeng dongah rhen kaimih he n'rhen lah. BOEIPA aw kaimih he n'rhen lah.
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
4 Mongkawt kah tamdaengnah, hlangoek kah nueihbu loh kaimih hinglu te muep a cung sak coeng.
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.
