Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

[Tangtlaeng Laa] Ka camoe lamloh kai mat n'daengdaeh he Israel loh thui laeh saeh.

2 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

Ka camoe lamloh kai he mat n'daengdaeh uh dae kai he n'noeng moenih.

3 The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

Ka uen soah a thoe a thoe uh tih a hma sokah a hma te a yoe uh.

4 The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

Aka dueng BOEIPA loh halang rhoek kah rhuivaeh te a tlueh pah.

5 Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

Zion aka thiinah rhoek boeih tah yahpok uh saeh lamtah a hnuk la balkhong uh saeh.

6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

Imphu kah sulrham bangla om saeh. Te tah amah hmuen ah a rhae la a phuk.

7 Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

Te te a ah tih a ban neh a kulup akhaw a kutpha dongah a bae moenih.

8 Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'

Te vaengah aka pongpa rhoek loh, “Nangmih soah BOEIPA kah yoethennah om saeh. BOEIPA ming neh nangmih te yoethen kan paek uh,” ti uh boel saeh.
