¹{Michtam of David.} Preserve me, O ùGod: for I trust in thee.

¹Pathian aw, honhumbitin: nangmah ah ka ginna ka koih ngala.

²Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; --

²TOUPA kiangah. Nang tuh ka TOUPA na hi a; Nang loungal hoihna himhim ka neikei.

³To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.

³Lei a mi siangthou omte jaw, amau jaw mi hoih, ka kipahna tengteng omna ahi uh, ka chi ahi.

⁴Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.

⁴TOUPA pathian dang khennaa zangte tuh, a lungkhamnate uh a pung ding: a sisan dawn kithoihna uh ken jaw ka lan kei dinga, ka mukin a minte uh ka lou sam kei ding hi.

⁵Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

⁵TOUPA tuh ka goutan ding leh ka nou tan ding ahi: nang tuh ka tuam non hihkip sak jela.

⁶The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

⁶Tehna khaute tuh mun nuam tak khawngah ka tuam dingin a keta ahi; ahi, gou hoih tak ka luahta ahi.

⁷I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.

⁷TOUPA, suangtuahsakpa, ka phat dinga: ahi, janchiang bangin ka lungsim honhilhpil jel hi.

⁸I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁸TOUPA tuh ka maah ka omsak gige a; ka taklama a om jiakin ka ling kei ding hi.

⁹Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.

⁹Huaijiakin ka lungtang akipana, ka thupina a nuam hi: ka sa leng bit takin a om ding hi.

¹⁰For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption.

¹⁰Ka kha lah Sheol kiangah na nuse sin ngal keia: Na mi siangthou muatna mu dingin lah na phal sin sam kei hi.Nang hinna lampi non theisak dinga; na maah nuam dimletna a om hi; na khut taklamah khantawn kipahna ding a om hi.

¹¹Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.

¹¹Nang hinna lampi non theisak dinga; na maah nuam dimletna a om hi; na khut taklamah khantawn kipahna ding a om hi.
