Psalms 120

1 A Canticle in steps. When troubled, I cried out to the Lord, and he heard me.

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

2 O Lord, free my soul from lips of iniquity and from the deceitful tongue.

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

3 What will be given to you, or what will be added to you, for a deceitful tongue?:

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

4 the sharp arrows of the powerful, along with the burning coals of desolation.

Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

5 Woe to me, for my sojourning has been prolonged. I have lived with the inhabitants 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 With those who hated peace, I was peaceful. When I spoke to them, they fought against me without cause.

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