< Psalms 120 >
1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.
[Tangtlaeng Laa] Kamah kah citcai khuiah BOEIPA te ka khue tih kai n'doo.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.
BOEIPA aw ka hinglu he laithae hmuilai lamkah neh palyal ol lamloh huul lah.
3 What shall be given unto thee? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue?
Palyal ol te nang taengah bahamnim m'paek vetih bahamnim nang taengah hang koei eh?
4 Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
Hlangrhalh kah thaltang khaw hlingcet alh bangla sum yipkip.
5 Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in 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 him that hateth 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 thoo uh.
