1 Yahweh Pakai, eidou ho hi nangin kidoupin, ei kisatpi ho jong nangin kisatpin.
Contend, Adonai, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.

Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
3 Eihin delkhum ho dounan natengcha leh nateng muh chu hin lam tan. “Keiman gal kajopeh ding nahi!” ti neijah sah tan.
Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”
4 Eithat goho chunga hin jumnale jachatna lhun sah in, eigimbol a eisumang go hohi jumson lang nungno jeng tan.
Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
5 Huilah a changvai alenmang bangin lenmang sah in, Yahweh Pakaija kon a vantil banga hung chu semmang sah in.
Let them be as chaff before the wind, Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] driving them on.
6 A lam lhah nao thimsah inlang lhonalsah in, Yahweh Pakai vantil chun nungdel peh u hen.
Let their way be dark and slippery, Adonai’s angel pursuing them.
7 Keiman amaho kabol sepoi, ahin amahon kei matna dingin kotong eilai khum un ahi! Ken amaho kabol sepoi ahin amahon keimat nadin kotong alai uve.
For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
8 Hijeh chun amaho chunga hetman louvin mathahna hunglhung hen! Kei ona dia asem u kotong chu amaho manthahna hijo tahen.
Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

My soul shall be joyful in Adonai. It shall rejoice in his yishu'ah ·salvation·.

All my bones shall say, “Adonai, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
11 Engbolna dih louvin eithemmo sah un. Kahetphahlou jouthu a monna eikichan e.
Malicious witnesses come forward. They ask me about things about which I know nothing.

They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
13 Ahijeng vangin amahon anat tenguleh keiman amaho kalainatpi jin khaodip pon kakisil in anngol in amaho kataopeh jin ahi. Hinla kataona donbut louvin ahung kinung le jitai.
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer teshuvah ·completely returned· into my own bosom.
14 Ka golpha le insung mi monga kagel jeh in kalungkham pin, eihinga kanu kalainatpi bang bangin kalainat pi jin ahi.
I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.

But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it. They tore at me, and didn’t cease.
16 Amahon einuisat un eitam seovin noise tah in eihagel khum un ahi.
Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.

I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
19 Kajolel nachung a hin eidou te kipa thanop sah hih beh in. Kamuiset nachung in jong ajeh bei a eivetda ho kitai sah hih beh in.
Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
20 Amahon chamna thu aseipouvin, amahon thepmona neilou atoh dingdol bep tongho dounan thilse agong jingun ahi.
For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
21 “Aha! Aha! ipi bol kigo nahi kamit tah un kamudoh taove!” tin asam uve.
Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”

Vindicate me, Adonai my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.
25 “Veovin itup uchu imutaove! Tua hi ahingsan a inehchai diu ahitai!” tisah hihbeb in.
Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
26 Kahahsatna nikhoa kipah ho sujum inlang jachat sah in. Kachunga hanla samhohi jumnaleh minsetnan lhuh khumin.
Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
27 Ahin koi hileh keima ei huhdia hung ho jouse chu kipanalentah pen. “Yahweh Pakai aloupi e aman asoh hi lunglhai tah in phatthei aboh in lungmon na apei!” tin tanglouvin samjingu hen.
Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my upright cause. Yes, let them say continually, “Adonai be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
28 Chuteng keiman nathutan adihji samphong ingting niseh a nangma kavahchoi ding ahi.
My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your tehilah ·praise song· all day long.
