1 Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, nang doeh na kâuep. Kaya hoi na awm sak hanh.
In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be disappointed for all time.
2 Na lannae hoi na rungngang nateh, na hlout sak haw. Kai koe lah na hnâpakeng nateh na rungngang haw.
You deliver me in Your righteousness, And cause me to escape, Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
3 Kai ni pou ka pâtam teh ka onae lungsong lah awm haw. Kai rungngang hanelah kâ na poe teh, kaie lungsong, kaie rapan lah na o.
Be a rock to me—a habitation, To go in continually, You have given command to save me, For You [are] my rock and my bulwark.
4 Oe ka Cathut, tamikathout kut dawk hoi thoseh, tamikalanhoehe hoi tamitongthoe kut dawk hoi thoseh, na rungngang haw.
O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, oe Bawipa Jehovah, nang teh ka camo nahoi na kâuep e lah na o.
For You [are] my hope, O Lord YHWH, My trust from my youth.
6 Pek ka khe hoi na kuet teh, nang teh anu von thung hoi na ka lat e lah na o. Nang teh pou na pholen han.
I have been supported from the womb by You, You cut me out from my mother’s bowels, My praise [is] continually in You.
7 Tami moikapap kângai karusakkung lah ka o. Hatei, nang teh kacake kânguenae doeh.
I have been as a wonder to many, And You [are] my strong refuge.
8 Ka pahni teh nang pholennae hoi akawi teh, hnintangkuem nange pholennae hoi kawi naseh.
My mouth is filled [with] Your praise, All the day [with] Your beauty.
9 Ka matawng toteh na hnoun hanh lah a. Ka tha a youn toteh na cettakhai hanh lah a.
Do not cast me off at the time of old age, Do not forsake me according to the consumption of my power.
10 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tarannaw ni na pathoe awh. Kai thei han a ngai awh dawkvah, pouknae a kâpoe awh teh, na pawp awh.
For my enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
11 Cathut ni a ceitakhai toe. Pâlei awh nateh man awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka rungngang hane awm hoeh telah ati awh.
Saying, “God has forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.”
12 Oe Cathut, na hlat takhai hanh. Oe ka Cathut, karanglah na kabawm haw.
O God, do not be far from me, O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Ka hringnae ka tarannaw hah kayayeirai hoi rawknae koe phat awh naseh. Runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah pahuipalamnae hoi yeiraiponae ni ramuk awh naseh.
They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
14 Hatei, pou ka ngaihawi vaiteh, hoehoe ka pholen han.
And I continually wait with hope, And have added to all Your praise.
15 Ka pahni ni na lannae a dei vaiteh, na rungngangnae heh hnintangkuem a hramkhai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungmanae parei teh baw thai hoeh.
My mouth recounts Your righteousness, All the day Your salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
16 Bawipa Jehovah, thaonae dawk ka cei han. Na lannae nange lannae dueng doeh ka dei han.
I come in [the] might of Lord YHWH, I mention Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 Oe Cathut, ka camo nah hoi na cangkhai toe, Atu totouh kângairu hno na sak e hah ka pâpho.
God, You have taught me from my youth, And until now I declare Your wonders.
18 Sekatha taminaw hoi ka tâcawt hane naw koe na thaonae hoi na hnotithainae ka pâpho hoeh roukrak, ka matawng teh ka sam a po toteh, Oe Cathut na cettakhai hanh.
And also to old age and grey hairs, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to a generation, Your might to everyone that comes.
19 Oe Cathut, na lannae hai a rasang poung. Oe Cathut, hnokalen kasakkung, nang patetlah apimouh ouk kaawm va.
And Your righteousness, O God, [is] to the heights, Because You have done great things, O God, who [is] like You?
20 Kalen ni teh ka patawpoung e runae na kâhmosakkung nang ni na roung sak nateh, kadung poung e talai thung hoi bout na rasat haw.
Because You have showed me many and sad distresses, You turn back—You revive me, And from the depths of the earth, You turn back—You bring me up.
21 Ka tawntanae na pung sak vaiteh, lung bout na pahawi han.
You increase my greatness, And You surround—You comfort me,
22 Tamawi hoi na pholen han. Oe Cathut, yuemkamcu lah na onae hah ka pholen han. Oe Isarel e Kathoung Cathut, ratoung hoi la sak laihoi na pholen han.
I also thank You with a vessel of stringed instrument, Your truth, O my God, I sing to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
23 Nang pholen laihoi la ka sak toteh, ka pahni teh a lunghawi katang han. Na ratang e ka hringnae hai a lunghawi han.
My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to You, And my soul that You have redeemed,
24 Ka lai ni hai kanîruirui pout laipalah na lannae a dei han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah lungpout laihoi yeiraipo sak lah ao toe.
My tongue also utters Your righteousness all the day, Because ashamed—because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
