“Sore have they vexed me from youth, but they have not prevailed against me.

Let all who are haters of Zion be put to shame and defeated.

6 Imphu kah sulrham bangla om saeh. Te tah amah hmuen ah a rhae la a phuk.

May they be as the grass on the house-top, which withers before it shoots up;

7 Te te a ah tih a ban neh a kulup akhaw a kutpha dongah a bae moenih.

8 Te vaengah aka kongpa rhoek loh, “Nangmih soah BOEIPA kah yoethennah om saeh. BOEIPA ming neh nangmih te yoethen kan paek uh,” ti uh boel saeh.

whereof no one says as they pass, “The blessing of God be upon you.” In the name of the Lord we bless you.
