A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

3 Ka uen soah a thoe a thoe uh tih a hma sokah a hma te a yoe uh.

Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.

Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.

5 Zion aka thiinah rhoek boeih tah yahpok uh saeh lamtah a hnuk la balkhong uh saeh.

Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.

6 Imphu kah sulrham bangla om saeh. Te tah amah hmuen ah a rhae la a phuk.

They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,

7 Te te a ah tih a ban neh a kulup akhaw a kutpha dongah a bae moenih.

That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

And the passers by have not said, 'The blessing of Jehovah [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'
