Saam 123

1 Nang a venawh khan na boei ngawihdoelh ak awm nang a venawh, ka mik hak dai law nyng.

A Song of Ascents. I lift up my eyes to you, you who sit in the heavens.

2 Tamnaakhqi mik ing ami boei a kut ami toek amyihna, tyihzawih nukhqi ing ami boei nu a kut ami toek amyihna, am qeennaak ce ningnih a venawh ang dang sak hlan dy, kaimih a mik ing Bawipa ningnih a Khawsa ce toek hy.

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to Yahweh, our God, until he has mercy on us.

3 Kaimih ve nim qeen khqi cang, Aw Bawipa, kaimih ve nim qeen khqi cang, thlang a huhsitnaak yh khing hawh unyng.

Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.

4 Ak oek qukhqi a qaihsai zawk khing hawh unyng saw, ak oek qukhqi a huhsitnaak awm zawk khing hawh aih unyng.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud.
