1 Angraeng to pakoeh ah. Aw ka hinghaih, Angraeng to pakoeh ah.
PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my soul.
2 Ka hing thung Angraeng to ka pakoeh han; ka hing thung boih ka Sithaw pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
3 long angraengnawk to oep hmah, kami doeh oep hmah; nihcae mah abomh o thai mak ai.
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 Nihcae loe duek naah long ah ni amlaem o let; to naah nihcae poekhaihnawk boih to anghmat.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Jakob ih Sithaw to bomkung ah suem kami, a oephaih to angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah suem kami loe tahamhoih,
Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:
6 Anih mah ni long hoi van, tuipui hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk boih to sak; anih loe dungzan khoek to oepthoh;
Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7 pacaekthlaek ih kaminawk to toenghaih hoiah lok a caek; zok amthlam kaminawk to buh a paek. Angraeng mah ni thongkrah kaminawk to loisak.
Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The Lord looseth the prisoners:
8 Angraeng mah mikmaengnawk to mik amtuengsak moe, poek pahnaem kaminawk to tapom tahang; katoeng kaminawk to Angraeng mah palung.
The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:
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 preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 Angraeng loe dungzan khoek to Angraeng ah om tih; Aw Zion, na Sithaw mah adungnawk boih khoek to uk tih. Angraeng to saphaw oh.
The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.
