“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear me, when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast helped me, when I was in trouble, —Have pity upon me, and hear my prayer!
2 Aw kaminawk, ka lensawkhaih hae nasetto maw azat nang paw o sak han vop? Nasetto maw avang ai hmuen to na palung o moe, lok amlaihaih na pakrong o han vop? (Selah)
How long, O men! will ye dishonor my dignity? How long will ye love vanity, and seek disappointment? (Pause)
3 Toe Sithaw panoek kami loe Sithaw mah Angmah hanah pahoe boeh, tiah panoek oh: anih to ka kawk naah Angraeng mah na pathim tih.
Know ye that the LORD hath exalted one that is devoted to him; The LORD will hear, when I call upon him.
4 Tasoeh takuenhaih hoi om oh loe, zaehaih sah o hmah: iihkhun nuiah nang song naah, anghngai o duem ah loe, palung hoiah khopoek oh. (Selah)
Stand in awe, and sin no more; Commune with your hearts upon your beds, and desist! (Pause)
5 Katoeng hmuenpaekhaih to sah oh loe, Angraeng to oep oh.
Offer sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD!
6 Mi mah maw aicae han kahoih hmuen patuek tih? tiah thui kami paroeai oh. Angraeng, na mikhmai aanghaih to kaicae nuiah amtuengsak ah.
There are many who say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us!
7 Cang to hak o moe, misurthaih hak o nathuem ih nihcae anghoehaih pongah doeh, ka palung thungah anghoehaih pop kue ah nang suek pae.
Thou puttest gladness into my heart, Greater than theirs, when their corn and wine are abundant.
8 Kai loe monghaih hoiah kang song moe, ka iih han boeh: Angraeng, nang mah khue ni, ngan nang cuemsak.
I will lay me down in peace, and sleep: For thou alone, O LORD! makest me dwell in safety.
