Saam 123

1 Nang a venawh khan na boei ngawihdoelh ak awm nang a venawh, ka mik hak dai law nyng.

A song of ascents. I Lift up my eyes to you, who are throned in the heavens.

2 Tamnaakhqi mik ing ami boei a kut ami toek amyihna, tyihzawih nukhqi ing ami boei nu a kut ami toek amyihna, am qeennaak ce ningnih a venawh ang dang sak hlan dy, kaimih a mik ing Bawipa ningnih a Khawsa ce toek hy.

As the eyes of a servant turn to the hand of his master, or the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so do our eyes turn to the Lord our God, until he is gracious to us.

3 Kaimih ve nim qeen khqi cang, Aw Bawipa, kaimih ve nim qeen khqi cang, thlang a huhsitnaak yh khing hawh unyng.

Be gracious, be gracious to us, Lord. Scorn enough, and more, have we borne

4 Ak oek qukhqi a qaihsai zawk khing hawh unyng saw, ak oek qukhqi a huhsitnaak awm zawk khing hawh aih unyng.

More than enough have we borne of derision from those at their ease, of scorn from those who are haughty.
