¹Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?

¹Bangachia nam chih heh uh ahia, bangchia mi chihin thil phatuam lou ngaihtuah uh ahia?

²The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:

²Lei tunga kumpipate a kisa duamduam ua, heututen leng TOUPA leh a thaunilh tuh a sawm chiat ua,

³Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!

³A gaknate uh hihtat in, a khauhualte uh ei akipan I pai mang ding uh, chiin.

⁴He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.

⁴Van a tupa a nui dia: TOUPAN amaute a nuihsan ding;

⁵Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:

⁵Huai khit chiangin hehin a kianguah tuh a gen dinga, thangpai takin amau tuh a hih mangbangta ding hi:

⁶And *I* have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.

⁶Keimah mahin ka tang siangthou Zion ah ka kumpipa ka tusakta ahi, a chi a.

⁷I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; *I* this day have begotten thee.

⁷Thusehsa ka gen ding hi: TOUPAN ka kiangah, Nang jaw ka tapa na hi; a; tuniin ka honnei khia ahi;

⁸Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:

⁸Hon ngenin, huchiin na gouluah dingin nam chih ka honpe dia, kawlmong tawp tanin na gou dingin leng ka honpe ding;

⁹Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.

⁹Amaute tuh sik chiangin na hihkham dia; belvelten bel a paih khap bang un na pai kham dinga. A chi-a.

¹⁰And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

¹⁰Huchiin kumpipate aw, pilta unla: leitunga vaihawmte aw, thuzohin omta un;

¹¹Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

¹¹Laudan siamin TOUPA na sem unla, ling khawmin kipan un;TOUPA tuh tawp unla, huchi keileh a heh dia, lam lakah na mangthang kha ding uh, a thangpai zok ding hi. Amah a a ginna uh koihte tengteng a hampha uhi.

¹²Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.

¹²TOUPA tuh tawp unla, huchi keileh a heh dia, lam lakah na mangthang kha ding uh, a thangpai zok ding hi. Amah a a ginna uh koihte tengteng a hampha uhi.
