1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih saam laa. Dawnrai hoi na oh naah Angraeng mah na lok tahngai pae nasoe loe, Jakob ih Sithaw ahmin mah na pakaa nasoe.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Jehovah answer thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob protect thee;

2 Hmuenciim hoiah nang abomh hanah patoeh nasoe loe, Zion hoiah thacakhaih na paek nasoe.

May he send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion;

3 Na tathlang ih hmuennawk boih panoek nasoe loe, na sak ih angbawnhaih to talawk nasoe.

Remember all thine oblations, and accept thy burnt-offering; (Selah)

4 Na koehhaih palungthin baktih toengah, na paek nasoe loe, na poekhaihnawk boih acungsak nasoe.

Grant thee according to thy heart, and fulfil all thy counsels.

5 Na pahlonghaih pongah kang hoe o moe, aicae Sithaw ih ahmin hoiah pazawkhaih kahni ka payang o han: na hnik ih hmuennawk boih Angraeng mah na paek nasoe.

We will triumph in thy salvation, and in the name of our God will we set up our banners. Jehovah fulfil all thy petitions!

6 A qoih ih kami loe Angraeng mah pahlong; thacak pahlonghaih a bantang ban hoiah anih ih lok to angmah ih kaciim van hoiah tahngai pae, tiah vaihi ka panoek boeh.

Now know I that Jehovah saveth his anointed; he answereth him from the heavens of his holiness, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Thoemto kaminawk loe hrangleengnawk to oep o, thoemto kaminawk loe hrangnawk to oep o: toe kaicae loe kaimacae Angraeng Sithaw ih ahmin ni ka oep o.

Some make mention of chariots, and some of horses, but we of the name of Jehovah our God.

8 Nihcae loe lu takhum o moe, amtim o: toe kaicae loe angthawk o moe, kacakah kang doet o.

They are bowed down and fallen; but we are risen and stand upright.

9 Aw Angraeng, pahlong ah! Kang kawk o naah siangpahrang mah pathim nasoe.

Save, Jehovah! Let the king answer us in the day we call.
