La Bu 123

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

A song of ascents. I Lift up my eyes to you, who are throned 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.

As the eyes of a servant turn to the hand of his master, or the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so do our eyes turn to the Lord our God, until he is gracious to us.

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

Be gracious, be gracious to us, Lord. Scorn enough, and more, have we borne

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

More than enough have we borne of derision from those at their ease, of scorn from those who are haughty.
