A Prayer of the afflicted when he is feeble, and before Jehovah poureth out his plaint. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, yea, my cry to Thee cometh.
2 Raihaih ka tong naah kai khae hoi mikhmai hawk ving hmah; na naa to kai khae bangah patueng ah; kang kawk naah, karangah na pathim ah.
Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste, answer me.

For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a fire-brand have burned.
4 Ka palungthin loe zaek moe, qam baktiah azaem; buhcaak hanah doeh ka pahnet sut boeh.
Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have forgotten to eat my bread.

I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof.
8 Ka misanawk mah ni thokkruek kasae ang thuih o; kai pahnui thuih kaminawk loe kai ih misa ah oh hanah lokthuih o.
All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me have sworn against me.
9 Maiphunawk to buh baktiah ka caak; ka naek han koi doeh mikkhraetui hoiah angbaeh,
Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with weeping have mingled,
10 dip thai ai ah palung na phui pongah, kai hae nang toengh tahang moe, long ah nang vah tathuk ving.
From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast lifted me up, And dost cast me down.
11 Ka hinghaih aninawk loe kasawk tahlip baktiah oh moe, qam baktiah ka zaem.
My days as a shadow [are] stretched out, And I — as the herb I am withered.

For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His honour,
17 Amtang kaminawk lawkthuihaih lok to anih mah pathim pae tih, nihcae lawkthuihaih to patoek pae mak ai.
He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath not despised their prayer.
18 Hae kawng hae angzo han koi adung kaminawk hanah tarik tih; a sak ih kaminawk mah Angraeng to saphaw o tih.
This is written for a later generation, And the people created do praise Jah.

They — They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And they are changed.
