Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.

But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.

6 Khodai zing kaminawk, khodai zing kaminawk pong kamthlai ah, ka hinghaih mah Angraeng to zing.

I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.
