Psalms 120

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

Ka khuikha awh Bawipa ce khy nyng saw, anih ing nim hlat law hy.

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

Aw Bawipa, qaai ak kqawn huikhqi ingkaw qaai kqawn na ak nget laikhqi anglakawhkawng ni hul lah.

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

Aw qaai kqawn na ak nget hui lai nang, nang ak khan awh anih ing ikaw a sai kaw, cekcoengawh ikaw ak awm bai?

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

Kaw ak awmkhqi a la sumkhqi ing nang ce ni toel kawmsaw, imnawt thing mai alh ing ni toel kaw.

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

Kedar awhkaw hi im anglakawh awm nawh, Meshqek awh ak awm ve kai aham khaw map mah hy!

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

Roepnaak ak sawhnaak thlang anglakawh ka awm ve sang soeih hawh hy.

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

Kai taw qoepnaak ak ngaih thlang na awm nyng; cehlai awi kak kqawn awh, qaal thawh aham ngaih lat uhy.
