1 David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, ka palungthin loe cak; ka hinghaih boih hoiah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.

A song or Psalme of David. O God, mine heart is prepared, so is my tongue: I will sing and giue praise.

2 Katoeng hoi tamoinawk, angthawk oh! Kai loe khawnthaw ah kang thawk han.

Awake viole and harpe: I will awake early.

3 Aw Angraeng, kaminawk salakah, nang kang pakoeh han; acaeng kaminawk salakah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people, and I wil sing vnto thee among the nations.

4 Na palungnathaih loe len moe, van pongah doeh sang kue; na loktang lok loe van khoek to phak.

For thy mercy is great aboue the heauens, and thy trueth vnto the clouds.

5 Aw Sithaw, nang loe vannawk pongah sang nasoe; na lensawkhaih long nui boih ah om nasoe.

Exalt thy self, O God, aboue the heauens, and let thy glorie be vpon all the earth,

6 Na palung ih kaminawk pahlong thai hanah, na bantang ban hoiah pahlong ah loe, ka lok hae na tahngai pae ah.

That thy beloued may be deliuered: helpe with thy right hand and heare me.

7 Sithaw loe angmah ih hmuenciim hoiah lokthuih boeh; kai loe kang hoe han; Shekem to pakhoih moe, Sukkoth azawn to ka tah han.

God hath spoken in his holinesse: therefore I will reioyce, I shall deuide Shechem and measure the valley of Succoth.

8 Gilead loe kai ih ni; Manasseh doeh kai ih ni; Ephraim loe ka lu thacakhaih lumuek ah oh; Judah loe kai ih kaalok patukkung ah oh.

Gilead shalbe mine, and Manasseh shalbe mine: Ephraim also shalbe the strength of mine head: Iuda is my lawgiuer.

9 Moab loe khok kam saehhaih sabae kathuk ah oh; Edom nuiah kaimah ih khokpanai to ka vah han; Philistia nuiah pazawkhaih hoiah ka hangh han.

Moab shalbe my washpot: ouer Edom wil I cast out my shoe: vpon Palestina wil I triumph.

10 Sipae kacak vangpui thungah mi mah maw na zae tih? Mi mah maw Edom prae ah na caeh haih tih?

Who will leade mee into the strong citie? who will bring me vnto Edom?

11 Aw Sithaw, nangmah na ai maw kaicae hae pahnawt sut? Kaicae ih misatuh kaminawk hoi nawnto caeh ai ah kaom kami doeh, nang na ai maw?

Wilt not thou, O God, which haddest forsaken vs, and diddest not goe foorth, O God, with our armies?

12 Raihaih thung hoiah ka loih o thai hanah, na bom ah; kami mah abomhaih loe azom pui ni.

Giue vs helpe against trouble: for vaine is the helpe of man.

13 Kaicae loe Sithaw rang hoiah misa ka hoih o tih; kaicae ih misanawk to anih na tii pae tih.

Through God we shall doe valiantly: for he shall treade downe our enemies.
