A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. I lift up my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come?

2 Vanle lei sem pa Paka a kon a eipanpi hung ahi.

My help [is] from YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth,

3 Aman nangma nakipalsah louding; nachingpa chu ihmu louding ahi.

He does not permit your foot to be moved, He who is preserving you does not slumber.

4 Tahbeh'in Israel chingpa chu itihchan hijongleh ihmu lhulou ding ahilouleh ihmu louding ahi.

Behold, He does not slumber, nor sleep, He who is preserving Israel.

5 Yahweh Pakai amatah chu nachingpa ahi! Ama nakom a ading jingin nahoidohna lim in apang jinge.

YHWH [is] He who is preserving you, YHWH [is] your shade on your right hand,

6 Sun leh nisan nasangpeh pontin, janleh lhavah injong nasubeipon te.

By day the sun does not strike you, Nor the moon by night.

7 Yahweh Pakai in thilse jousea nahoidohsah in tin nahinkho chingjing nante.

YHWH preserves you from all evil, He preserves your soul.

8 Yahweh Pakai in tuapat tonsot gei in navai kondoh leh nahung vailhun in nachingjing tahen.

YHWH preserves your going out and your coming in, From now on—even for all time!
