[A Psalm] of instruction for Asaph. Therefore have you rejected [us], O God, for ever? [therefore] is your wrath kindled against the sheep of your 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 your congregation which you have purchased from the beginning; you did ransom the rod of your inheritance; this mount Sion wherein you have lived.

And they that hate you have boasted in the midst of your feast; they have set up their standards for signs,

ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;
6 Tedae hai neh a thuk a thingthuk boeih khaw thilung neh nawn a phop uh.
they cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; they have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.

They have burnt your sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of your name.

They have said in their heart, [even] all their kindred together, Come, let us abolish the feasts of the Lord from the earth.
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 have not seen our signs; there is no longer a prophet; and [God] will not know us any more.

How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach? shall the enemy provoke your name forever?

Forget not the voice of your suppliants: let the pride of them that hate you continually ascend before you.
