La Bu 123

1 Van a alaltouna a tou O ka Pathen Elohim nangma munomna in kadah'in kahinvei.

A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.

2 Sohten amit uva apupao avetjing bangun Yahweh Pakai, iPathen'u Elohim khotona ngaichan keihon kahin vejing ui. Hiti hin soh nungah honjong api'u chaloh akivetgeu jingun ahi.

See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.

3 Yahweh Pakai ka chung u vah khotona neipeuvin ajeh chu keiho hi vetda changsa ka hiuve.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.

4 Ajeh chu keihohi mi kiletsahho housetna leh mikhoh ho tai tomnan eichupmu ahitai.

For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.
