Psalms 120

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he hearkened to me.

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

2 Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

3 What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for [thy] crafty tongue?

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

4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

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

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

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

7 I was peaceable among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.

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