Psalms 120

1 A song of ascents. In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me.

Kasang laa. Patang ka khang naah Angraeng to ka kawk, ka kawkhaih lok to anih mah ang pathim.

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips and a deceitful tongue.

Aw Angraeng, amsawnlok thuihaih pahninawk hoi alinghaih palainawk thung hoiah na pahlong ah.

3 What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue?

Aw aling thaih palai nang, kawbaktih danpaekhaih maw nang paek han? To tih ai boeh loe na nuiah timaw ka sak han?

4 Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

Nang loe thacak kami ih kasum palaa hoi hmai kamngaeh thing hoiah thuitaek han oh.

5 Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar!

Kedar ih kahni im ah ka oh moe, Meshek ah ka oh pongah, kai han khosak bingh!

6 Too long have I dwelt among those who hate peace.

Ka hinghaih hnuma moe, angdaehhaih hnuma kami hoi nawnto ohhaih atue sawk parai boeh.

7 I am in favor of peace; but when I speak, they want war.

Kai loe angdaehhaih koeh kami ah ka oh; toe lok ka thuih naah, nihcae loe misa angcoenghaih to koeh o lat.
