[A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
2 Aw ka Sithaw, na nuiah kam ha: na zatsak hmah loe, ka misanawk mah na pazawk o hmah nasoe.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3 Ue, na nuiah amha kaminawk boih loe azathaih tong o mak ai: takung tiodeh om ai ah oep om ai ah khosah kaminawk loe azatpaw o tih.
Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4 Aw Angraeng, na loklamnawk to na patuek ah loe, na caehhaih loklamnawk to na hnusak ah.
Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
5 Nang loe ka pahlonghaih Sithaw ah na oh pongah, na loktang thungah na hoi ah loe, na patuk ah; ni thokkruek nang ni kang zing.
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6 Aw Angraeng, canghnii hoiah kaom na palungnathaih hoi nam lunghaih to pahnet hmah.
Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.
8 Angraeng loe toeng moe, hoih pongah zaehaih tawn kaminawk hanah angmah ih loklam to patuek.
Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9 Mi tlim ah khosah kaminawk to toenghaih a hnuksak, poeknaem kaminawk hanah angmah ih loklam to patuk.
The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10 Angraeng ih loklamnawk loe, a lokmaihaih hoi a thuih ih loknawk pazui kaminawk boih hanah, palungnathaih hoi loktang ah oh.
All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Aw Angraeng, ka sakpazaehaih len parai cadoeh, na hmin rang hoiah tahmen ah.
For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it [is] great.
12 Angraeng zii kami loe mi aa? To kami hanah a qoih pae ih loklam to patuk tih.
What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way [that] he shall choose.
13 Anih loe hoihaih hoi khosah ueloe, anih ih ca mah long to toep tih.
His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14 Angraeng zii kaminawk loe, panoek thai ai ih a lokmaihaih to panoeksak.
The secret of the LORD [is] with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15 Ka mik mah Angraeng khue ni danh; anih mah thaang pongah kaman ka khok to na khramh pae tih.
Mine eyes [are] ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: [O] bring thou me out of my distresses.

Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
