BY DAVID. I confess You with all my heart, I praise You before the gods.

I bow myself toward Your holy temple, And I confess Your Name, For Your kindness, and for Your truth, For You have made Your saying great above all Your Name.

3 Kang kawkhaih niah kai han nang pathim moe, palung thungah tha nang ohsak.

In the day I called, when You answer me, You strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

4 Aw Angraeng, long nui ih siangpahrangnawk boih mah na thuih ih lok to thaih o naah, nang to saphaw o tih.

O YHWH, all kings of earth confess You, When they have heard the sayings of Your mouth.

5 Ue, Angraeng lensawkhaih loe len parai pongah, Angraeng ih loklamnawk to pazui o ueloe, laa to sah o tih.

And they sing in the ways of YHWH, For the glory of YHWH [is] great.

6 Angraeng loe hmuensang ah oh; toe poeknaemhaih tawn kaminawk to anih mah khet; amoek kaminawk loe ahmuen kangthla hoiah anih mah panoek boeh.

For YHWH [is] high, and He sees the lowly, And He knows the haughty from afar.

7 Raihaih thungah caeh cadoeh, nang hingsak tih; ka misanawk palungphuihaih to pakaa hanah na ban to payangh ueloe, na bantang ban hoiah na pahlong tih.

If I walk in the midst of distress You quicken me, You send forth Your hand against the anger of my enemies, And Your right hand saves me.

YHWH perfects for me, O YHWH, Your kindness [is] for all time, Do not let the works of Your hands fall!
