Aw Sithaw, kaicae hae nang pahnawt sut boeh, kaicae nam hetsak phang boeh moe, palung na phui boeh; kaicae khaeah angqoi let ah!
For the Chief Musician; set to Shushan Eduth: Michtam of David, to teach: when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the Valley of Salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast broken us down; thou hast been angry; O restore us again.
2 Long to nang huensak moe, na koihsak boeh; kakoinawk to pacong let ah, anghuen o khing vop.
Thou hast made the land to tremble; thou hast rent it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
3 Nangmah ih kaminawk to karai hmuen na tongsak boeh; anghmanghaih misurtui to nang naeksak boeh.
Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of staggering.
4 Loktang lok ah oh pongah, nang zithaih tawn kaminawk khaeah, payang han ih pazawkhaih kahni to na paek. (Selah)
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Nang palung kaminawk loisak hanah, ka lok tahngai pae ah loe, na bantang ban hoiah pahlong ah.
That thy beloved may be delivered, save with thy right hand, and answer us.
6 Sithaw loe angmah ih hmuen ciim hoiah lokthuih boeh pongah, kang hoe han, Shekem vangpui to ka taphraek moe, Sukkot azawn to ka tah han.
God hath spoken in his holiness; I will exult: I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
7 Gilead loe kai ih ni, Manasseh doeh kai ih ni; Ephraim loe ka lu thacakhaih ah oh moe, Judah loe ka loihhaih ah oh.
Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the defence of mine head; Judah is my sceptre.
8 Moab loe kam saehhaih sabae kathuk ah oh; Edom nuiah khokpanai ka vah han; Philistin prae nuiah pazawkhaih hoiah ka hangh han, tiah a thuih.
Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe: Philistia, shout thou because of me.
9 Mi mah maw kacak vangpui ah na caeh haih tih? Mi mah maw Edom ah na hoi tih?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who hath led me unto Edom?
10 Aw Sithaw, kaicae pahnawt kami loe, nang na ai maw? Aw Sithaw, kaicae misatuh kaminawk hoi nawnto caehsak ai kami loe, nang na ai maw?
Hast not thou, O God, cast us off? and thou goest not forth, O God, with our hosts.
11 Kami abomhaih loe azom pui ah oh pongah, raihaih thung hoiah ka loih o thai hanah na bomh ah.
Give us help against the adversary: for vain is the help of man.
12 Sithaw rang hoiah ka pazawk o hanah, anih mah kaicae ih misanawk to khok hoiah atii pae tih.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our adversaries.
