Tingtoeng 8

1 [Gittith rhotoeng dongah aka mawt ham David kah tingtoenglung] Kaimih kah boeipa YAHWEH tah, diklai pum ah na ming metlam a khuet tih, na mueithennah te vaan dongla na khueh mai.

To the Overseer, 'On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.

2 Nang aka daengdaeh kongah, thunkha neh phuloh te kangkuen sak ham camoe neh cahni ka lamkah sarhi na cuen sak.

From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

3 Vaan kah na kutngo hla neh aisi boeih na khueh te ka hmuh vaengah,

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

4 Balae tih hlanghing te na ngaidam tih, hlang capa te na hip?

What [is] man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

5 Tedae anih te Pathen lakah vel na toem sak phoeiah ni, anih te thangpomnah neh, rhuepomnah na khuem sak.

And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

6 Na kutngo te anih na taemrhai sak tih, a kho hmuiah,

Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

7 tu neh saelhung boeih khaw, kohong kah rhamsa khaw,

Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

8 vaan kah vaa neh tuitunli kongtlang kah aka kat tuitunli nga khaw boeih na khueh pah.

Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

9 Aw BOEIPA, kaimih kah boeipa tah na ming khaw diklai pum ah khuet tangkik.

Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!
