A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Lord, I cry out to you from the depths of my pain.

Please listen to my cry, and pay attention to what I'm asking.

Lord, if you kept a list of sins, who could escape being condemned?

But you are forgiving so that we might respect you.

I'm waiting for the Lord, longingly waiting, for I trust in his word.

6 Keiman Pakai chu kangahlal ngei e, khongahpan khovah ding angalel sangin kangahlal joi.

I long for the Lord to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come, more than watchmen longing for the dawn to come.
