[By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.] I will bless YHWH at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.
2 Ka hringnae ni BAWIPA dawk a kâoup han. Kârahnoumnaw ni a thai awh vaiteh, a lunghawi awh han.
My soul shall boast in YHWH. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.

This poor man cried, and YHWH heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek YHWH shall not lack any good thing.
11 Camonaw tho awh haw, ka lawk thai awh haw. BAWIPA takinae na cangkhai awh han.
Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of YHWH.
12 Apimaw nuenkahawi hoi hring han ka ngai. Apimaw hnokahawi hmu hanlah hring saw ka ngai.
Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Na lai teh yonnae thung hoi ring nateh, na pahni hah dumnae lawk dei hoeh nahanlah ring haw.
Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

The eyes of YHWH are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.

YHWH's face is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 Tamikalan a hram toteh, BAWIPA ni a thai pouh teh runae thung hoi a rasa.
The righteous cry out, and YHWH hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 A lungkareknaw hanelah, BAWIPA a hnai teh, muitha lungkamathoutnaw a rungngang.
YHWH is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but YHWH delivers him out of them all.
