Thov Vaajtswv cawm
Zaaj nkauj hu nce moog.
1Thaus kuv raug kev nyuaj sab
kuv thov hu Yawmsaub, nwg kuj teb kuv.
2“Au Yawmsaub, thov tso kuv dim
daim tawv ncauj pem txwv
hab tug nplaig daag ntxag.”
3Tug nplaig daag ntxag 'e,
yuav ua daabtsw rua koj,
hab yuav tsaav daabtsw ntxwv rua koj?
4Yog muab tub rog raab xub nee kws ntse,
hab muab ntoo ua thee
cig quas plawg rua koj.
5Kuv raug txom nyem lauj,
zoo le kuv nrug cov tuabneeg Mese nyob,
hab nyob huv cov tuabneeg Khenta

6Kuv nrug cov tuabneeg kws

7Kuv nyam kev thaaj yeeb,
tassws thaus kuv has,
puab tseed txhob kev ua rog.

A song of ascents.
1I call on the Lord in my distress,
and he answers me.
2Save me, Lord,
from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues.
3What will he do to you,
and what more besides,
you deceitful tongue?
4He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,
with burning coals of the broom bush.
5Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!
6Too long have I lived
among those who hate peace.
7I am for peace;
but when I speak, they are for war.
