I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.

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

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

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

May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.

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

Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.

The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection 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: nor the moon by night.

7 BOEIPA loh nang te yoethae cungkuem lamloh n'khoembael vetih na hinglu te a ngaithuen ni.

The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.

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

May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
