In my distress, I cried to Adonai. He answered me.

2 Aw Bawipa, qaai ak kqawn huikhqi ingkaw qaai kqawn na ak nget laikhqi anglakawhkawng ni hul lah.

Deliver my soul, Adonai, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

3 Aw qaai kqawn na ak nget hui lai nang, nang ak khan awh anih ing ikaw a sai kaw, cekcoengawh ikaw ak awm bai?

What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

5 Kedar awhkaw hi im anglakawh awm nawh, Meshqek awh ak awm ve kai aham khaw map mah hy!

Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

6 Roepnaak ak sawhnaak thlang anglakawh ka awm ve sang soeih hawh hy.

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

7 Kai taw qoepnaak ak ngaih thlang na awm nyng; cehlai awi kak kqawn awh, qaal thawh aham ngaih lat uhy.

I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
