Psalms 120

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

Tangtlaeng Laa Kamah kah citcai khuiah BOEIPA te ka khue tih kai n'doo.

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

BOEIPA aw ka hinglu he laithae hmuilai lamkah neh palyal ol lamloh huul lah.

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

Palyal ol te nang taengah bahamnim m'paek vetih bahamnim nang taengah hang koei eh?

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

Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

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

Meshek ah ka bakuep tih Kedar dap ah kho ka sak dongah kai ngawn tah ka tuisawih coeng!

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

Rhoepnah aka hmuhuet taengah ka hinglu loh kho puet a sak coeng.

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

Kai loh rhoepnah ka thui vaengah amih te caemtloek la thoouh.
