¹Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

¹Toupa aw, ka thumna ngaikhia inla; hehpih ka ngetna ah bil doh inla; na giomna jiak leh na jiakin hondawng in.

²And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

²Na sikha tungah vaihawm ken; na mitmuh ah mihing himhim siamtang a om ding lah a om ngal kei ua.

³For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

³Melmain lah ka hinna a simmoh ngala; ka hinna tuh leiah a sat puka: sawtpi-a sisate bangin, mun mial takte ah honomsak hi.

⁴Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

⁴Huaijiakin ka kha tuh ka gil sungah a baha: ka lungtang tuh ka gilsungah a mangbangta hi.

⁵I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

⁵Nidanglai nite tuh ka theigige a; na thilhih tengtengte ka ngaihtuah jela na khut nasepte tuh ka sut jel hi.

⁶I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

⁶ka khutte nang lamah ka jak jela; ka hinna, gam jawngkhaltak bangin, nangmah ah a dangtak nak hi. Selah.

⁷Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

⁷Toupa aw, hondawng meng in, ka kha a bah dek hi; ka lakah na mai sel ken; huchilouin jaw kokhuk guama paisukta bang lelin ka naom kha ding hi.

⁸Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

⁸Jingsangin na chitna thu hontheisak in; nang lah kon muang ngala; ka paina ding lampi hontheisak in; ka lungsim lah na kiangah ka koih kip jel ngala.

⁹Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

⁹Toupa aw hondoute lakah hin humbit in; non nasel dingin na kiangah kongtai ahi.

¹⁰Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

¹⁰Na deihlam hih honkisinsak in; ka Pathian lah na hi ngala: na kha hoih in lamphei ah honpi jel hen.

¹¹Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

¹¹Toupa aw, na min jiakin honhihhalh inla: na diktatna jiakin ka hinna mangbatna akipan pikhia in.Na chitna jiakin hondoute hihmang inla, ka hinna hih mangbangte tengteng hihmang in; na sikha lah ka hi ngala.

¹²And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

¹²Na chitna jiakin hondoute hihmang inla, ka hinna hih mangbangte tengteng hihmang in; na sikha lah ka hi ngala.
