The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah. And in thy salvation how greatly he shall rejoice!
2 Apâhni hoi a kâhei e hah na oun hoeh niteh, a lungthin ngainae hah na poe toe. (Selah)
Thou have given him his heart's desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawinae yawhawi hoi na dawn teh, a lû dawk suikathoung bawilukhung hoi na kâmuk sak.
For thou meet him with the blessings of goodness. Thou set a crown of fine gold on his head.
4 Nang koe a hei e hringnae, a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe totouh hringsawnae hah na poe.
He asked life from thee. Thou gave it him, even length of days forever and ever.
5 A bawilennae teh na rungngangnae dawkvah a len, barinae hoi taluenae teh ahni dawk na patue toe.
His glory is great in thy salvation. Honor and majesty thou do lay upon him.

For thou make him most blessed forever. Thou make him glad with joy in thy presence.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang ni BAWIPA hah a kâuep. Lathueng Poung lungmanae lahoi kâhuen mahoeh.
For the king trusts in Jehovah. And through the loving kindness of the Most High he shall not be moved.
8 Na kut ni na taran pueng hmawt vaiteh, aranglae na kut ni na ka hmuhma e pueng hah a hmu han.
Thy hand will find out all thine enemies. Thy right hand will find out those who hate thee.

Thou will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of thine anger. Jehovah will swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Thou will destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from among the sons of men.
11 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang taran lahoi, hawihoehnae hah sak han a kâcai awh teh, a sak thai awh hoeh e hah sak han a kâcai awh.
For they intended evil against thee. They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.
12 Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh teh na yawng sak vaiteh, ahnimae a mithmainaw dawk na licung hoi coungkacoe na nue toe.
For thou will make them turn their back. Thou will make ready with thy bowstrings against their face.
13 Oe BAWIPA, na thaonae dawk tawm lah na o. Na thaonae pholen hoi la ka sak han.
Be thou exalted, O Jehovah, in thy strength. We will sing and praise thy power.
