1 Pakai chu thangvah’un amachu kasongpi ahi. Aman kakhut teni hi galsatje dan eihil in, chule kakhut jung hohi galsatna’a manchahje dan eihil ahi.
[By David.] Blessed be the LORD, my Rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to battle:
2 Amahi eipanpi phapen leh kakulpi ahin, kahoidohna pal leh eihuhdohpa ahi. Chitin namtin anoijah akunsahji ahi.
my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues peoples under me.
3 O Pakai, mihem hi ipi hiya hibanga nagel-lut’a, mihem chapa jeng jong ipi hiya hibanga nakhohsah hitam?
LORD, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
4 Ajeh chu mihem hi hai khatseh’a hing ahibouvin, ahin-nikho jong nisa-le tobanga mangpai thei ahibouve.
Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
5 Pakai vanho hinhong in hung kum lhan, molsang hohi tham’in lang meikhun len mangsah in.
Part your heavens, LORD, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners;
8 Akam’un jou jeng aseijun, thudih kaseije atiuvin akihahsel un, hinlah jou jeng aseijun ahi.
whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 O Pathen, na henga lathah khat sange; selangdah jangsom kibut chu mangchan na vahchoila sange.
I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.
10 Ajeh chu nangman lengho galjona napen! Nalhacha David jong athi nading chemjam’a kon in nahuhdoh jin ahi.
You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.
11 Neihuhdoh’in! Kagalmite thaneina’a kon’in neihuhdoh’in, akam un jou jeng aseijun; thutah kaseiding ahi tin akihahsel-un, hinlah jou jengseh aseijun ahi.
Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
13 Kachangpang jouseu jong lousoh jouse pum’in dimsoh hen, kalou jaova kagan chateu asang sang in, sangsom som chan geijin pung hen.
Our storehouses are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
14 Kagancha teu gai pha hen, veiset le apengsol umhih hel hen! Ka khopi sung jenguva jong lunggim khoisat beihel hen.
Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.
15 Hitobang thilpha achunga lhung ho kipah uhen! chule a-Pathen’u Yaweh hikha nam mite chu kipah cheh’u hen!
Blessed are the people who are in such a situation. Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD.
