Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?
2 Hlamat kah na lai na hlangboel khaw, na rho la na tlan koca khaw, kho na sak thil Zion tlang te khaw poek lah.
Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.

Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.

Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.

It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
6 Tedae hai neh a thuk a thingthuk boeih khaw thilung neh nawn a phop uh.
And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.

They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
8 A lungbuei nen tah, “Rhenten m'phae coeng,” a ti uh tih, diklai ah Pathen kah tingtunnah boeih te a hoeh uh.
They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9 Mahmih kah miknoek khaw m'hmu uh pawh. Tonghm a om voelpawt tih mamih khuiah aka ming thai he mevaeng hil nim a om pawt ve?
We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
11 Balae tih na kut na yueh. Na rhang kah na oltlueh khui lamloh na bantang kut neh khap kanoek saw.
Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.

Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14 Nang loh Leviathan kah a lu te na neet tih kohong ham neh pilnam ham caak la na paek.
Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.

Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.

Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.
17 Namah loh diklai kah rhilung boeih na suem tih khohal neh sikca khaw namah loh na hlinsai.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.

Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.

O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.

Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
21 Mangdaeng hmaithae khaw hlanghnaep pahnap la mael boel saeh lamtah na ming te khodaeng rhoek loh thangthen uh saeh.
O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.

Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
23 Nang aka daengdaeh rhoek kah ol te na hnilh moenih. Nang aka tlai thil rhoek kah longlonah tah cet yoeyah.
Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, the tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually.
