1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA, nang ni kai lawk na ceng haw, lungcaknae hoi ka cei teh BAWIPA nang na kâuep dawkvah ka kâhuen mahoeh.

By David. Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

2 Kai hah na noumcai nateh, oe BAWIPA, ka lung ni a ngai e naw hoi ka pouknae hah na khen pouh haw.

Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

3 Ka cak e na lungpatawnae lamthung kai na patue haw, yuemkamcunae ni pou na hrawi.

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

4 Dumyennae hoi cungtalah ka hmawng hoeh. Tami kahawihoehnaw hai ka hmawng hoeh.

I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites.

5 Tami kahawihoehnaw e kamkhuengnae hah ka hmuhma, Tamikathoutnaw hoi reirei ka tahung hoeh.

I hate the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.

6 Ka kut heh thoungnae hoi ka pâsu teh BAWIPA namae thuengnae ka lawngven.

I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh,

7 Lunghawilawkdeinae la ka sak teh kângairu hno na sak e hah ka dei.

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

8 BAWIPA na onae im hah kai lungpataw teh na bawilennae hmuen hah kai ni ka ngai.

Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells.

9 Tamikayonnaw koe kai mek thei sin hanlah tami kathetnaw koe kai na tâkhawng sin hanh.

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men

10 Ahnimouh teh hawihoehnae yungyoe a sak awh. Tadawnghno ka ngai e taminaw doeh.

in whose hands is wickedness; their right hand is full of bribes.

11 Kai teh hnokahawi hoeh e ka sak, na pahren nateh na rungngang haw.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

12 Hnâroumcalah tanghling dawk ka kangdue teh maya a kamkhuengnae koe BAWIPA nang na pholen.

My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
