Psalms 120

1 In my trouble I cried to the Lord: and he heard me.

Kasang laa. Patang ka khang naah Angraeng to ka kawk, ka kawkhaih lok to anih mah ang pathim.

2 O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, and a deceitful tongue.

Aw Angraeng, amsawnlok thuihaih pahninawk hoi alinghaih palainawk thung hoiah na pahlong ah.

3 What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, to a deceitful tongue.

Aw aling thaih palai nang, kawbaktih danpaekhaih maw nang paek han? To tih ai boeh loe na nuiah timaw ka sak han?

4 The sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals that lay waste.

Nang loe thacak kami ih kasum palaa hoi hmai kamngaeh thing hoiah thuitaek han oh.

5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of cedar:

Kedar ih kahni im ah ka oh moe, Meshek ah ka oh pongah, kai han khosak bingh!

6 My soul hath been long a sojourner.

Ka hinghaih hnuma moe, angdaehhaih hnuma kami hoi nawnto ohhaih atue sawk parai boeh.

7 With them that hate peace I was peaceable: when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.

Kai loe angdaehhaih koeh kami ah ka oh; toe lok ka thuih naah, nihcae loe misa angcoenghaih to koeh o lat.
