¹{[A Psalm] of David.} Jehovah is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Jehovah is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

¹TOUPA ka vakna leh honhondampa ahi; kua ka lau dia? TOUPA ka hinna insang ahi: kua ka kihta dia?

²When evil-doers, mine adversaries and mine enemies, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

²Thil hoihlou hihte, hondoute leh ka melmaten, ka sa nek tuma honsual lai un, a kisui ua, a puk chiat uh.

³If a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; if war rise against me, in this will I be confident.

³Sepaih pawlten honsual tumin hon-giahkhum mahle uh ka lungtangin a kihta kei ding; ka tungah kidouna hongsuak mahleh, huchi piin leng ka gingta chinten ding hi.

⁴One [thing] have I asked of Jehovah, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of Jehovah all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of Jehovah, and to inquire [of him] in his temple.

⁴TOUPA kiangah thil khat ka ngena, huai mahmah ka zong ding; TOUPA kilawmdan mu ding leh, a biakinn a thu dong dingin ka damsung tenga TOUPA inn a ka om gige theihna dingin.

⁵For in the day of evil he will hide me in his pavilion; in the secret of his tent will he keep me concealed: he will set me high upon a rock.

⁵Mangbat niin a bukta ah hon koihkhian ding ahi ngala, a humbitna puanin ah honsel dinga; suangpi tungah honkha kai ding hi.

⁶And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me; and I will offer in his tent sacrifices of shouts of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms unto Jehovah.

⁶Tunah hondoute, honumsuakte tunglamah ka lu dopkangin a om ding; huchiin, a puanin ah nuam na kithoihnate ka lan dinga; la kasa ding.

⁷Hear, Jehovah; with my voice do I call; be gracious unto me, and answer me.

⁷TOUPA aw, ka aw-a ka honsap leh ngaikhia inla; honhehpih inla, dawn leng hondawngin.

⁸My heart said for thee, Seek ye my face. Thy face, O Jehovah, will I seek.

⁸Ka mel zong un, chi-a na gen laiin, ka lungtangin na kiang ah, TOUPA. Na mel ka zong ding, kachi a.

⁹Hide not thy face from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; cast me not off, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

⁹Ka lakah na mai sel kenla; na sikha heh in hih mang ken, nang jaw hon panpihpa na hi gige a; hon hondampa Pathian aw, hon paikhe kenla hon paisan het ken.

¹⁰For had my father and my mother forsaken me, then had Jehovah taken me up.

¹⁰Ka nu leh ka pan honpai santa ngal ua, hihmahleh TOUPAN honpom lai ding.

¹¹Teach me thy way, Jehovah, and lead me in an even path, because of mine enemies.

¹¹TOUPA aw, na lampi hon ensak inla; ka melma te jiakin lampi phei mahmah ah honpiin.

¹²Deliver me not over to the will of mine adversaries; for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out violence.

¹²Hondoute ut-uta hih dingin honpe mahmah ken; theipih diklouten hon sual ua, nunsiat thu sekhe nakten.

¹³Unless I had believed to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living ...!

¹³Mi hing gamah TOUPA hoihna muh kigingta keileng ka bahta ding hi.TOUPA ngak nilouhin; hat takin om inla, na lungtang kihih hangin; ahi, TOUPA ngak nilouh in.

¹⁴Wait for Jehovah; be strong and let thy heart take courage: yea, wait for Jehovah.

¹⁴TOUPA ngak nilouhin; hat takin om inla, na lungtang kihih hangin; ahi, TOUPA ngak nilouh in.
