Psalms 120

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

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

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

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

3 What should be given to thee, and what should be added to thee, for [thy] crafty 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 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

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

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

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

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

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

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

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