Psalms 120

1 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.

Kasang laa. Patang ka khang naah Angraeng to ka kawk, ka kawkhaih lok to anih mah ang pathim.

2 O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

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

3 What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful 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 a mighty one, with broom-coals.

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

5 Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

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

6 Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.

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

7 I [am] peace, and 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.
