A song of ascents. Remember, O Lord, David all his sufferings,

never to give his eyes sleep or his eyelids slumber,

‘Arise, Lord, and enter your resting-place, you and your mighty ark.
9 Nange vaihmanaw teh lannae hah khohnat awh naseh. Nange tami kathoungnaw ni hai lunghawicalah la sak awh naseh.
Let your priests wear a garment of righteousness, your faithful shout aloud for joy.

For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your Anointed.’

The Lord swore an oath to David an oath that he will not break; ‘I will set on your throne a prince of your line.
12 Na capanaw ni kaie lawkkam hoi kaie lawkpanuesaknae hah tarawi awh pawiteh, ahnimae capanaw hai nange bawitungkhung dawk pou a tahung awh han tie hah doeh.
If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons, too, forever, will sit on your throne.’
13 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Zion hah a rawi teh, hawvah o nahane hmuen lah ta hane a ngai dawkvah,
For the choice of the Lord is Zion; she is the home of his heart.
14 hote hmuen teh a yungyoe kaie roumnae hmuen lah ao. Hote hmuen hah ka ngai dawkvah, hawvah ka o han.
‘This is forever my resting-place, this is the home of my heart.
15 Hote hmuen koe rawca yawhawi ka poe han. Hote hmuen koe mathoenaw hai rawca ka boum sak han.
I will royally bless her provision, and give bread to her poor in abundance.
16 Hote hmuen koe e vaihmanaw heh rungngangnae hoi ka ramuk vaiteh, tami kathoungnaw ni lunghawi laihoi la a sak awh han.
Her priests I will clothe with salvation; her faithful will shout for joy.
17 Hawvah, Devit e ki hah ka cawn sak han. Satui ka awi e tami hanelah, hmaiim sut ka hruek pouh.
There will I raise up for David a dynasty of power. I have set my anointed a lamp that shall never go out.
18 Kai ni ahnie tarannaw hah kayayeirai hoi ka ramuk pouh han. Ahni koe teh, amae lentoenae lukhung kamhlawng sak han telah a ti.
Robes of shame I will put on his foes, but on his head a glittering crown.’
