La Bu 43

1 O Elohim Pathen themmona bei kahi neiphongdoh in! Elohim Pathen ginglou hoa kon in nei vengdoh in, chutengleh mikitah lou holeh joupan hoa kon in neihuhdoh in.

Right me, defend my cause against a pitiless people. From the crafty and crooked, O God, deliver me.

2 Ajeh chu nanghi kakiselna Pathen Elohim nahi, ibol a neipaidoh hitam? Ibol a keima kadougal ten eibolset jeh a lunggim a kava lele dingham?

For you are God my protector: why have you cast me off? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?

3 Nadih na le navah na chu neihinsol peh in, hichun eilamhil hen. Hihochun nangma chenna muol theng chu eilhut hen.

Send forth your light and your truth, let them be my guides: to your holy hill let them bring me, to the place where you live.

4 Hikomma chun keima Elohim Pathen maicham achu kasemjang puma kathang vahding ahi, O Pathen Elohim.

Then will I go to God’s altar, to God my rejoicing; and with joy on the lyre I will praise you, O God, my God.

5 Idia lungkham kahim? Ipidinga kalung lhadah ham? Keiman kakinepna Elohim Pathen a koi inge! Eihuhhingpa le Elohim ka Pathen keiman nangma thangvah kit inge!

Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God.
