< Psalms 120 >

1 A Song of the going up. In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.
Kasang laa. Patang ka khang naah Angraeng to ka kawk, ka kawkhaih lok to anih mah ang pathim.
2 O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.
Aw Angraeng, amsawnlok thuihaih pahninawk hoi alinghaih palainawk thung hoiah na pahlong ah.
3 What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false 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 of the strong, and burning fire.
Nang loe thacak kami ih kasum palaa hoi hmai kamngaeh thing hoiah thuitaek han oh.
5 Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.
Kedar ih kahni im ah ka oh moe, Meshek ah ka oh pongah, kai han khosak bingh!
6 My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.
Ka hinghaih hnuma moe, angdaehhaih hnuma kami hoi nawnto ohhaih atue sawk parai boeh.
7 I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
Kai loe angdaehhaih koeh kami ah ka oh; toe lok ka thuih naah, nihcae loe misa angcoenghaih to koeh o lat.
