A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] 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 will sing praises unto 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 above the heavens: and thy truth [reacheth] unto the clouds.

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

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above 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 beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right hand, and answer 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 holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out 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 [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;

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 [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will 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 bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into 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, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

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

Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help 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 do valiantly: for he [it is that] shall tread down our enemies.
