Psalms 129

1 A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

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

2 Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

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

3 Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.

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

4 Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.

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

5 Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.

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

6 They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,

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

7 That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

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

8 And the passers by have not said, 'The blessing of Jehovah [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'

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.
