¹{A Song of degrees.} Jehovah, remember for David all his affliction;

¹Toupa, David a haksat thuakna tengteng theihpih in;

²How he swore unto Jehovah, vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

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

³I will not come into the tent of my house, I will not go up to the couch of 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, 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 Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. ...

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

⁶Behold, 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.

⁷Let us go into his habitations, let us worship at his footstool.

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

⁸Arise, Jehovah, 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.

¹¹Jehovah 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 keep my covenant, and my testimonies which I will teach them, their children also for evermore shall sit upon thy throne.

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 Jehovah hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his dwelling:

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 needy ones with bread;

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

¹⁶And I will 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 cause the horn of David to bud forth; 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.
