1 Angraeng to pakoeh ah. Aw ka hinghaih, Angraeng to pakoeh ah.
Praise the Lord! With my whole being I praise the Lord!
2 Ka hing thung Angraeng to ka pakoeh han; ka hing thung boih ka Sithaw pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.
3 long angraengnawk to oep hmah, kami doeh oep hmah; nihcae mah abomh o thai mak ai.
Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they cannot save you.
4 Nihcae loe duek naah long ah ni amlaem o let; to naah nihcae poekhaihnawk boih to anghmat.
Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.

Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—
6 Anih mah ni long hoi van, tuipui hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk boih to sak; anih loe dungzan khoek to oepthoh;
the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.
7 pacaekthlaek ih kaminawk to toenghaih hoiah lok a caek; zok amthlam kaminawk to buh a paek. Angraeng mah ni thongkrah kaminawk to loisak.
He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.
8 Angraeng mah mikmaengnawk to mik amtuengsak moe, poek pahnaem kaminawk to tapom tahang; katoeng kaminawk to Angraeng mah palung.
The Lord makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what is right.
9 Angraeng mah angvinnawk to toep moe, ampa tawn ai kami hoi lamhmainawk to pacah; toe kasae kaminawk ih loklam loe buenglueng tamlet ah ohsak.
The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.

The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!
