1 Kasang koek pakaahaih ahmuen ah kaom kami loe, Thacak Sithaw ih tahlip ah abuep o tih.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Under the shadow of the Almighty, will tarry,

2 Angraeng loe ka buephaih, kacak kai ih sipae ah oh; anih loe kam hahaih, ka Sithaw ah oh, tiah ka thuih han.

Saying of Yahweh—My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I will trust.

3 Anih mah loe tavaa han dongh patung kami ih ban thung hoi paduek thaih kasae nathaih thung hoiah na loisak tangtang tih.

For, he, will rescue thee, From the snare of the fowler, From the destructive pestilence.

4 Angmah ih pakhraeh hoi na khuk ueloe, anih ih pakhraeh tahlip ah na buepsak tih; anih ih loktang lok loe nang pakaahaih hoi angvaenghaih ah om tih.

With his pinion, will he cover thee, And, under his wings, shalt thou seek refuge, A shield and buckler, is his faithfulness.

5 Aqum ah kaom zitthok hmuen, khodai ah kah ih palaa,

Thou shalt not be afraid, Of the dread of the night, Of the arrow that flieth by day;

6 khoving ah kaom nathaih kasae, athun ah kaom amrohaih doeh, na zii mak ai.

Of the pestilence that, in darkness, doth walk, Of the plague that layeth waste at noonday.

7 Na taengah kami sangto amtimh o ueloe, na bantang bangah kami sang hato amtim o tih; toe nang khaeah pha mak ai.

There shall fall, at thy side, a thousand, Yea, myriads, at thy right hand, Unto thee, shall it not come nigh;

8 Mik hoi khue na dan ueloe, kasae kaminawk han paek ih tangqum to na hnu tih.

Save only, with thine own eyes, shalt thou discern, And, the recompense of the lawless, shalt thou see.

9 Angraeng loe ka buephaih ah oh, tiah na thuih moe, Kasang koek khaeah, na ohhaih ahmuen to sak pongah,

Because, thou, [hast made] Yahweh, my refuge, —The Most High, thou hast made thy dwelling-place,

10 sethaih roe na nuiah krah mak ai, kawbaktih amrohaih doeh na ohhaih ahmuen taengah angzo mak ai.

There shall not be sent unto thee misfortune, Nor shall, plague, come near into thy tent;

11 Na caehhaih ahmuen kruekah nang toep hanah, angmah ih vankaminawk to paek tih.

For, his messengers, will he charge concerning thee, To keep thee, in all thy ways;

12 Na khok to thlung pongah daeng han ai ah, nihcae mah ban hoi na tapom o tahang tih.

On hands, will they bear thee up, Lest thou strike, against a stone, thy foot;

13 Kaipui hoi pahui sae to na cawh ueloe, kaipui kanawk hoi pahui pui to khok hoiah na tii tih.

On the lion and adder, shalt thou tread, Shalt trample on young lion and crocodile.

14 Anih mah ang palung pongah, anih to ka pahlong han; anih mah ka hmin to panoek pongah, anih to ka tapom tahang han.

Because, on me, he hath set firm his love, Therefore will I deliver him, I will set him on high, Because he hath known my Name;

15 Anih mah ang kawk naah, ka pathim pae han; raihaih a tong naah, ka oh thuih han; anih to ka pahlong moe, ka pakoeh han.

He shall call me, and I will answer him, With him, will, I, be, in distress, I will rescue him, and will honour him;

16 Hinglung sawkhaih hoiah palung ka dipsak moe, ka pahlonghaih ka hnuksak han, tiah a thuih.

With length of days, will I satisfy him, And will show him my salvation.
