I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

2 Kai bomkung loe long hoi van sahkung, Angraeng khae hoiah ni ang zoh.

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Anih mah loe na khok to amthaeksak mak ai, nang toepkung loe iih angam mak ai.

May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

4 Khenah, Israel toepkung loe iih angam mak ai, iip doeh iip mak ai.

Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.

5 Angraeng loe nang toepkung ah oh; Angraeng loe na bantang bangah nang han tahlip paekkung ah oh.

The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.

6 Athun ah ni mah na kangh mak ai, aqum ah doeh khrah mah raihaih na paek mak ai.

The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.

The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

8 Angraeng mah na caehhaih hoi nang zohhaih to vaihi hoi dungzan khoek to toep tih.

May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
