Yahweh, I call out to you; [you are like an overhanging] rock [under which I can hide]. Do not refuse to answer me, because if you are silent, I will soon be with those who are in their graves.
2 Bawipa nang koe ka hramki laihoi kabawpnae ka hei nahai thoseh, Bawipa nange hmuenkathoung, a thung lah ka kut ka dâw to hai thoseh, kai ni ka hei e hah na thai pouh haw.
Listen to me when I call out for you [to help me], when I pray, lifting up my hands as I face your sacred temple.
3 Tamikathoutnaw hoehpawiteh, yonnae ka sak e naw hoi cungtalah kai hah na sawn hanh la.
Do not drag me away with wicked people, with those who do wicked deeds, with those who pretend [to act] peacefully toward others while in their inner beings, they hate them.
4 Ahnimae sakyoenae hoi kathoute nuencang patetlah patho haw. Amamae kut hoi a sak awh e patetlah patho haw. Ahnimouh ni a khang kawi e hah amamae van bout phat sak haw.
Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].

Yahweh, they do not pay attention to the [wonderful] things that you have done and that you have created; so get rid of them permanently and do not let them appear again!
6 BAWIPA teh yawhawinae awmseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka heinae lawk hah a thai toe.
Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!
7 BAWIPA teh kaie ka thaonae hoi kaie e bahling lah ao. Ka lungthin ni a kâuep teh, kabawpnae hah a coe. Hatdawkvah, puenghoi ka konawm. Kai ni la hoi ka pholen han.
Yahweh makes me strong and [protects] me [like a shield] [MET]; I trusted in him, and he helped me. I was glad, and from my inner being I praised him as I sang to him.
8 BAWIPA teh a miphunnaw e tha lah ao teh, satui awi e naw ni kâuep e rungngangnae lah ao.
Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.

Yahweh, save/rescue your people; bless those who belong to you. [Take care of them like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; take care of them forever.
