1 Korah caanawk ih Saam laa. Angraeng loe lensawk pongah, ciimcai Angmah ih mae hoi aicae Sithaw ih vangpui ah lensawkhaih hoiah pakoeh han oh.
[A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Aluek bangah kaom, lensawk Siangpahrang ih vangpui, long boih anghoehaih Zion mae loe, kranghoih parai.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
3 Sithaw loe a ohhaih ahmuen ah oh moe, anih loe abuephaih ah oh.
God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
4 Khenah, siangpahrangnawk loe amkhueng o moe, nawnto caeh o.
For, look, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
5 Nihcae mah hnuk o naah, dawnrai o; zithaih hoiah cawnh o.
They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
6 Nihcae loe to ahmuen ah zithaih hoiah oh o, nongpata caa tapen nathuem ih kana baktiah, pauep o,
Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
7 ni angyae bang ih takhi mah Tarshish ih palongpuinawk palet pae phaeng baktiah ni a oh o.
With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
8 Aicae mah a thaih o ih baktih toengah, aicae Sithaw ih vangpui hoi misatuh Angraeng ih vangpui thungah, a hnuk o boeh; to ahmuen loe Sithaw mah dungzan khoek to caksak tih. (Selah)
As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of YHWH of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
9 Aw Sithaw, na tempul thungah, nang palunghaih to ka poek o.
We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.
10 Na hmin amthang baktih toengah, aw Sithaw, nang saphawhaih loe long boenghaih khoek to phak boeh; na bantang ban loe toenghaih hoiah koi.
As is your name, God, so is your praise to the farthest parts of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Toenghaih hoi lok na caek pongah, Zion mae to anghoe nasoe loe, Judah canunawk to anghoe o nasoe.
Let Mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.
12 Zion ah caeh ah, ataeng ah caeh takui ah loe, misa toephaih imsangnawk to kroek ah;
Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
13 angzo han koi caanawk khaeah na thuih pae hanah, misa abuephaih longkhawnawk hoi anih ohhaih ahmuennawk to poek ah.
Consider her defenses. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
14 Hae Sithaw loe aicae ih dungzan Sithaw ah oh; anih loe boeng khoek to aicae zaehoikung ah om tih.
For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
