Psalms 120

1 A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to 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 unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

3 What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

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

4 Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

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 tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

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

6 My soul has long been a sojourner;

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

7 I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.

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