For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

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

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfil all your counsel.

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 your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

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 I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD 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 rise up, and stand upright.
