Psalms 129

1 A Song of Ascents. Many a time, have they harassed me from my youth, well may Israel say:

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

2 Many a time, have they harassed me from youth, yet have they not prevailed against me.

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

3 Upon my back, have ploughmen ploughed, They have lengthened their furrow!

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

4 Yahweh, is righteous, He hath cut asunder the cords of the lawless.

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

5 Let all who hate Zion, be ashamed and shrink back:

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

6 Let them become like the grass of housetops, which, before it is pulled up, hath withered;

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

7 Wherewith no reaper, hath filled his hand, nor binder, his bosom:

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

8 Neither have the passers-by ever said, The blessing of Yahweh, be unto you, —We have blessed you in the Name of Yahweh.

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