1 Kathutkung: Asaph Judah vah Cathut panue lah ao teh, Isarel vah a min teh a lentoe.
For the leader. With instrumental music. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself known in Judah, his name is great in Israel.
2 Salem haiyah lukkareiim ao teh, Zion vah a onae hmuen ao.
His tent is in Salem, his dwelling in Zion.
3 Hawvah, licung pala, tarantuknae, bahling hoi tahloinaw hah a khoe awh. (Selah)
There he broke the lightning arrows, shield, sword, and weapons of war. (Selah)
4 Nang teh, tarantuknae monnaw hlak na sungren teh na hawihnawn.
Terrible is your splendour on the everlasting mountains.
5 A tarankahawinaw lawp lah ao teh, mat a i awh toe. Tami a tha kaawm apinihai a kut dâw thai awh hoeh.
Despoiled were the stout of heart; in the sleep into which they had fallen, none of the warriors could lift a hand.
6 Oe Jakop Cathut, na yuenae dawk hoi marang hoi ranglengnaw teh kadout e patetlah koung a rawp awh.
At your rebuke, God of Jacob, sank chariot and horse to sleep.
7 Nang teh taki na tho doeh. Na lungkhuek pawiteh, na hmalah apimouh kangdout thai han.
Awful are you: who can stand before you, when once you are angry?
8 Talai vah repcoungroe e naw rungngang teh lawkceng hanelah Cathut a kangdue toteh,
The judgment you gave from heaven frightened the earth into silence,
9 Na lawkcengnae lawk hah kalvan hoi na patoun teh, talai teh taki laihoi duem ao. (Selah)
when God arose to judgment to save the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)
10 Taminaw e lungkhueknae ni na pholen roeroe han. Ka cawi e lungkhueknae hai na keng dawk na kâyeng han.
The fiercest will praise you, to you will the remnant hold festival.
11 BAWIPA na Cathut koevah, lawkkam awh nateh, kuep sak awh. Atengpam kaawm e pueng ni, taki hanelah kaawm e koevah, poehno hah poe awh.
Vow and pay to Lord your God, and let all who are round him bring presents.

He lops off the courage of princes, and with terror fills kings of the earth.
