Sam 123

1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh, tami tangawn ni Hezekiah a ti awh Kalvan kho a tungkhung kaawm e nang koe doeh ka ngaihawi.

A Song of Degrees. To you who dwell in heaven have I lifted up mine eyes.

2 Sanpanaw ni a bawipa kut a ngaihawi e patetlah thoseh, Sannunaw ni a bawipa kut a ngaihawi e patetlah thoseh, kaimouh ni lungmanae ka coe awh hoehroukrak BAWIPA Cathut doeh na ngaihawi awh.

Behold, as the eyes of servants [are directed] to the hands of their masters, [and] as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; so our eyes [are directed] to the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.

3 Oe BAWIPA, kaimouh na lungma haw. Kaimouh na lungma haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, banglah noutnahoehnae teh koung ka boum awh toe.

Have pity upon us, O Lord, have pity upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Kaimae hringnae teh, ka kâoupnaw ni yeiraipo saknae hai thoseh, lunglenpansa lah kaawm naw ni banglah noutnahoehnae hai thoseh, koung ka boum awh toe.

[Yes], our soul has been exceedingly filled [with it]: [let] the reproach [be] to them that are at ease, and contempt to the proud.
