1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, kai teh nange pahrennae hah ka lungthin abuemlahoi ka pholen han, cathutnaw hmalah nang koe pholennae la ka sak han.
Of David himself. O Lord, I will confess to you with my whole heart, for you have heard the words of my mouth. I will sing psalms to you in the sight of the Angels.
2 Kai teh nange kathounge Bawkim koelah kangvawi laihoi ka bawk vaiteh, nange pahrenlungmanae hoi nange lawkkatang hanelah, na Min teh ka pholen.
I will adore before your holy temple, and I will confess your name: it is above your mercy and your truth. For you have magnified your holy name above all.
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh nama ni na dei e naw hah na min onae lathueng vah na tawm toe. Kai ni na kawnae hnin navah, nang ni na pato teh, ka hringnae teh tha hoi na kawisak.
On whatever day that I will call upon you: hear me. You will multiply virtue in my soul.
4 Oe BAWIPA talai van e siangpahrang pueng ni, nange lawk a thai awh toteh, na pholen awh han.
May all the kings of the earth confess to you, O Lord. For they have heard all the words of your mouth.
5 BAWIPA e lamthungnaw dawk la a sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e bawilennae teh a len poung.
And let them sing in accordance with the ways of the Lord. For great is the glory of the Lord.
6 Atangcalah BAWIPA teh arasang ei nakunghai, ka rahnoum e naw hah a khetyawt. Hatei, kâoupnaw teh ahlanae koehoi a panue toe.
For the Lord is exalted, and he looks with favor on the humble. But the lofty he knows from a distance.
7 Kai teh runae um ka cet ei nakunghai, Bawipa ni na hring sak han. Bawipa ni a kut dâw vaiteh, ka tarannaw e lungkhueknae hah ngang vaiteh, Bawipa e aranglae kut hoi kai hah na rungngang han.
If I wander into the midst of tribulation, you will revive me. For you extended your hand against the wrath of my enemies. And your right hand has accomplished my salvation.
8 BAWIPA ni kai hanlah a noenae a kuep sak han. Oe BAWIPA nange pahrenlungmanae teh a kangning. Na kut hoi na sak e naw heh hnoun hanh lah a.
The Lord will provide retribution on my behalf. O Lord, your mercy is forever. Do not disdain the works of your hands.
