Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my trouble I called unto Jehovah, and he answered me.

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

2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.

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

3 What shall be given unto thee, what shall be added unto thee, thou deceitful tongue?

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

4 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with burning coals of broom-wood.

Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell 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 hath long dwelt with them that hate peace.

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

7 I [am for] peace; but when I speak, they [are] for war.

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