A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and he heard me.

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

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] 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 shall be given to thee? or what shall be done to thee, thou false tongue?

4 Kaw ak awmkhqi a la sumkhqi ing nang ce ni toel kawmsaw, imnawt thing mai alh ing ni toel kaw.

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 sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

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

My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth 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.
