Psalms 120

1 A Song of degrees. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me.

Ka khuikha awh Bawipa ce khy nyng saw, anih ing nim hlat law hy.

2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, [and] from a deceitful tongue.

Aw Bawipa, qaai ak kqawn huikhqi ingkaw qaai kqawn na ak nget laikhqi anglakawhkawng ni hul lah.

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

Aw qaai kqawn na ak nget hui lai nang, nang ak khan awh anih ing ikaw a sai kaw, cekcoengawh ikaw ak awm bai?

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

Kaw ak awmkhqi a la sumkhqi ing nang ce ni toel kawmsaw, imnawt thing mai alh ing ni toel kaw.

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

Kedar awhkaw hi im anglakawh awm nawh, Meshqek awh ak awm ve kai aham khaw map mah hy!

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

Roepnaak ak sawhnaak thlang anglakawh ka awm ve sang soeih hawh hy.

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

Kai taw qoepnaak ak ngaih thlang na awm nyng; cehlai awi kak kqawn awh, qaal thawh aham ngaih lat uhy.
