1 Aka mawt ham Saul taeng lamloh lungko khuila a yong vaengkah David kah, “Phae Boeh “Laa Pathen aw kai n'rhen dae, kai n'rhen dae. Ka hinglu loh nang dongah ying tih talnah he a poeng hil, na phae hlip ah ka ying ni.
Be merciful to me, God, show favor to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
2 Kai ham hma aka khap Pathen te Sangkoek Khohni, Pathen la ka khue.
I cry out to El 'Elyon [God Most High], to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
3 Vaan lamkah han tueih tih kai n'khang, kai aka hloem khaw a veet. (Selah) Pathen loh a sitlohnah neh a oltak te a tueih.
He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·. God will send out his chesed ·loving-kindness· and his truth.

My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Pathen he vaan rhoek soah pomsang pai saeh. Namah kah thangpomnah loh diklai pum khuk thil saeh.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your kavod ·weighty glory· be above all the earth!
6 Ka khokan ah lawk a tung uh tih ka hinglu loh duengyai sut. Kai hmai kah a vueh uh rhom khui ah cungku uh. (Selah)
They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into the middle of it themselves. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
7 Ka lungbuei cikngae ngawn Pathen aw. Ka lungbuei cikngae neh ka hlai vetih ka tingtoeng ni.
My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing zahmar ·musical praise·.
8 Ka thangpomnah aw haenghang laeh. Thangpa neh rhotoeng haenghang laeh. Mincang ah haenghang pawn ni.
Wake up, my glory! Wake up, lute and harp! I will wake up the dawn.
9 Ka Boeipa nang te pilnam rhoek taengah kan uem vetih, namtu rhoek taengah kan tingtoeng ni.
I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to you among the nations.
10 Na sitlohnah loh vaan duela, na uepomnah loh khomong khaw a puet.
For your great chesed ·loving-kindness· reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
11 Pathen he vaan rhoek boeih soah pomsang pai saeh. Namah kah thangpomnah loh diklai pum khuk thil saeh.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your kavod ·weighty glory· be over all the earth.
