¹Lord, remember David, and all his afflictions:

¹Toupa, David a haksat thuakna tengteng theihpih in;

²How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob;

²Toupa kianga kichiam, Jakob mi hatpa kianga thu achiamdan;

³Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed;

³Ka omna in ah ka lut het kei dia, ka lupna ah ka kah sam kei ding hi;

⁴I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids,

⁴Ka miten a sin ka phal kei dinga ka mit vunte leng a sit uh ka phal sam kei ding;

⁵Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.

⁵Toupa mun ding ka zon suah masiah, Jakob mi hatpa omna ding chiin.

⁶Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood.

⁶Ngaiin, a thu tuh Sphratathan-ah ka ja ua; sing gamah ka muta uhi.

⁷We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool.

⁷Amah omnate ah ka lut ding ua; a khe ngakna bulah chibai ka buk ding uhi.

⁸Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.

⁸Toupa aw, thou inla, na khawl mun dingah lutin; nang toh na hatna bawm toh.

⁹Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy.

⁹Na siampute tuh diktatnain kivan uhenla; na mi siangthoute nuamsain kikou uhen.

¹⁰For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

¹⁰Na sikha David jiakin na thaunilh mel tuh kiheisak nawn ken.

¹¹The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.

¹¹Toupan David kiangah thutakin a kichiamta a; huai tuh a lehngatsan kei ding hi: na pumpi gaha mi laltutphah ka tusak ding.

¹²If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

¹²Na taten ka thukhun leh ka thutheihsak, amau ka hilh ding a zuih uleh, a tate u leng khantawnin na laltutphah ah a tu jel ding uh, chiin.

¹³For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

¹³Toupan Zion lah a tel ngala; a omna dingin a deih hi.

¹⁴This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

¹⁴Hiai khantawn adinga ka khawlmun ding ahi: hiaiah ka om nilouh ding; ka deihlam ahi ngala.

¹⁵I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁵A nek ding tampiin vual ka jawl dia; a mi gentheite uh tanghouin ka taisak ding hi.

¹⁶I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

¹⁶A siampute hotdamnain ka van dinga; a mi siangthoute nuamsain a kikoukou ding uhi.

¹⁷There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed.

¹⁷Huaiah David ki tuh ka sel khe sak ding: ka thaunilh adingin khawnvak ka septa hi.Amah doute tuh zahlaknain ka van dinga, amah tungah jaw a lallukhu a te sengsung ding hi, chiin.

¹⁸His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

¹⁸Amah doute tuh zahlaknain ka van dinga, amah tungah jaw a lallukhu a te sengsung ding hi, chiin.
