To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!
2 Apâhni hoi a kâhei e hah na oun hoeh niteh, a lungthin ngainae hah na poe toe. (Selah)
You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, hawinae yawhawi hoi na dawn teh, a lû dawk suikathoung bawilukhung hoi na kâmuk sak.
For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.
4 Nang koe a hei e hringnae, a yungyoe hoi a yungyoe totouh hringsawnae hah na poe.
He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever 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 your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.
6 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a yungyoe hane yawhawinae lentoe kacoekung lah na sak teh, na hmalah puenghoi a lung kahawi hanelah na coung sak.
For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.
7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang ni BAWIPA hah a kâuep. Lathueng Poung lungmanae lahoi kâhuen mahoeh.
For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will 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.
Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.
9 Na lungkhuek toteh, ahnimouh hah takhuen patetlah na coung sak han. BAWIPA ni ahnimouh teh, a lungkhueknae lahoi payawp vaiteh, a hmai ni koung a kak awh han.
You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.
10 A catounnaw hah talai van hoi koung takhoe pouh vaiteh, a catounnaw hah miphunnaw thung hoi na takhoe han.
Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children 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 their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.
12 Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh teh na yawng sak vaiteh, ahnimae a mithmainaw dawk na licung hoi coungkacoe na nue toe.
Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.
13 Oe BAWIPA, na thaonae dawk tawm lah na o. Na thaonae pholen hoi la ka sak han.
Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
