From his dwelling-place he beholdeth all the inhabitants of the earth, —
15 Angraeng mah kami boih hanah poekhaih palungthin to paek; nihcae mah sak ih hmuennawk Angraeng mah panoek boih.
He that formed the hearts of all, And observeth all their works.
16 Kawbaktih siangpahrang doeh kanoih parai misatuh kaminawk mah pahlong ai: thacak kami doeh thacakhaih mah loisak ai.
A king is not saved by the number of his forces, Nor a hero by the greatness of his strength.
17 Hrang mah ngancuemhaih paek thai ai: a thacakhaih mah mi doeh pahlong thai ai.
The horse is a vain thing for safety, Nor can he deliver his master by his great strength.

May thy goodness be upon us, O LORD! According as we trust in thee!
