who preserves our life among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved.
10 Aw Sithaw, kaicae hae nang tanoek boeh; sumkanglung to hmai hoiah pakaw ih baktiah, kaicae hae nang tanoek boeh.
For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.

You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.

I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,

which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
15 Kathawk moi hoiah nang khaeah hmai angbawnhaih ka sak moe, hmuihoih ah tuunawk to kang paek han; maitaw taenawk hoi maeh taenawk doeh kang paek han. (Selah)
I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

Come, and sh'ma ·hear obey·, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17 Ka pakha hoiah anih khaeah ka hang moe, ka palai hoiah anih to ka pakoeh boeh.
I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
18 Palung thungah zaehaih ka suek poe nahaeloe, Angraeng mah ka lok hae tahngai mak ai;
If I cherished vain striving of iniquity in my heart, 'Adonay [Lord] would not have sh'ma ·heard obeyed·.
19 toe Sithaw mah ka lok ang tahngai pae tangtang; lawk ka thuihaih lok to ang tahngaih pae.
But most certainly, God has sh'ma ·heard obeyed·. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
20 Lawk ka thuihaih anghmasak ai, ka nuiah suek ih a palungnathaih to apet ai, Sithaw khaeah tahamhoihaih om nasoe!
Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.
