A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.

2 Kalvan hoi talai kasakkung BAWIPA koehoi doeh a tho.

My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

3 Bawipa ni na khok tâlaw sak hoeh. Nang khenyawnkung teh ngâm boihoeh.

May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.

4 Atangcalah Isarelnaw khenyawnkung Ahni teh ngâm boihoeh, ip hai ip boihoeh.

Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.

5 BAWIPA ni nang teh, na khetyawt. BAWIPA teh, aranglae tâhlip, na kângue e doeh.

The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.

6 Khodai vah kanî, karum vah thapa ni runae na poe mahoeh.

The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.

7 BAWIPA ni runae pueng thung hoi na khetyawt han, na hringnae hai a khetyawt han.

The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.

8 BAWIPA ni, na ceinae, na thonae pueng hah atuhoi pout laipalah, a khetyawt han.

May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.
