Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto 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 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.

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

3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?

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

4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!

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

6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

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

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

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