A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

2 Kai aka bomkung tah vaan neh diklai aka saii BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni.

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

3 Na kho te paloe ham khueh pawt vetih nang aka dawn te a mikku mahpawh.

Let not thy foot be moved; and let not thy keeper slumber.

4 Israel aka dawn loh tarha a mikku pawt vetih ip mahpawh.

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

The Lord shall keep thee: the Lord is thy shelter upon thy right hand.

6 Khothaih ah khomik loh, khoyin kah hla long khaw nang n'ngawn mahpawh.

The sun shall not burn thee by day, neither the moon by night.

May the Lord preserve thee from all evil: the Lord shall keep thy soul.

8 Na cet tih na pawk due, tahae lamloh kumhal duela BOEIPA loh n'ngaithuen ni.

The Lord shall keep thy coming in, and thy going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
