¹{To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm.} I waited patiently for Jehovah; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

¹Toupa ka ngakngaka: huchiin aman a ngeingaiha, ka kikou tuh a zata hi.

²And he brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock; he hath established my goings:

²Manthatna kokhuk a kipan, buannawi diadua a kipan a honkhai khetou a: huan, ka khe tuh suangpi tungah a nga a, ka kalsuante a hihkip hi.

³And he hath put a new song in my mouth, praise unto our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall confide in Jehovah.

³La thak ka kam ah koiha, i Pathian phatna: mi tampi in huai tuh a mu ding ua, a lau ding ua, Toupa a muang ding uh.

⁴Blessed is the man that hath made Jehovah his confidence, and turneth not to the proud, and to such as turn aside to lies.

⁴Toupa a muana nei a, ki sathei te leh thujuau a kipana kihemkhiate tuh a hampha hi.

⁵Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak [them], they are more than can be numbered.

⁵Toupa ka Pathian aw, nang thillamdang na hihte leh koumau lam non ngiahtuahnate a tam mahmaha, huaite na maa hihlat zoh vual ahi kei ding.

⁶Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire: ears hast thou prepared me. Burnt-offering and sin-offering hast thou not demanded;

⁶Kithoihna leh thillat tungah kipahna himhim na neikeia; ka bilte non honsakta a; halmanga thillat leh khelhna dinga thillat na phut kei hi.

⁷Then said I, Behold, I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me --

⁷Huaitakin, ken, Ngaiin, ka hongpai hi; laibu jial ah ka thu gelh ahi.

⁸To do thy good pleasure, my God, is my delight, and thy law is within my heart.

⁸Ka Pathian aw, na deihlam hih ka kipahlam tak ahi; ahi, na dan thu ka lungtang ah a om gige hi, ka chi a.

⁹I have published righteousness in the great congregation: behold, I have not withheld my lips, Jehovah, *thou* knowest.

⁹Kikhopna thupitak ah diktatna thu hoih ka tangkoupiha; Toupa aw, ngaiin, ka kam ka it kei ding chih na thei hi.

¹⁰I have not hidden thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

¹⁰Na diktatna ka lungtang sungah ka im keia; na ginomna leh na hotdamna thu ka tangkoupih zo ding; Na chitna leh na takna kikhopna thupi taka mite lakah ka selkei ding hi.

¹¹Withhold not thou, Jehovah, thy tender mercies from me; let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

¹¹Toupa aw, na lainatnate ka lakah it kenla; na chitna leh na takna in honhumbit gige in.

¹²For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I cannot see; they are more than the hairs of my head: and my heart hath failed me.

¹²Thil hoihlou sim zohlouh in hon umsuak ngala, ka thulimlouhnaten hon delhphaa, huchiin ka dak theita keia; huaite tuh ka samzang te sangin a tamjaw a, ka lungtang a tawlta hi.

¹³Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me; Jehovah, make haste to my help.

¹³Toupa aw, hehpihtak in honhumbit inla; Toupa aw, honpanpih ding in kin in.

¹⁴Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

¹⁴Ka hinna hihmang tuma zongte zahlak leh zum takin om chiat uhen; ka siatna tunga kipakte kik nawn in hih zuminom uhen.

¹⁵Let them be desolate, because of their shame, that say unto me, Aha! Aha!

¹⁵Awihang, awihang! Honchite a zahlak jiak un mangbang takin om uhen.

¹⁶Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee; let such as love thy salvation say continually, Jehovah be magnified!

¹⁶Nang hon zongte tengteng nangmah ah nuamtak leh kipak takin om uhenla; na hotdamna itten, Toupa pahtawiin om hen, chi gige uhen.Kei jaw genthei leh jawngsan ka hi a, himahleh Toupan honngaihtuah jela; nang hon panpihpa leh hon humbitpa na hia; ka Pathian aw, sawt hal mahmah ken.

¹⁷But I am afflicted and needy: the Lord thinketh upon me. Thou art my help and my deliverer: my God, make no delay.

¹⁷Kei jaw genthei leh jawngsan ka hi a, himahleh Toupan honngaihtuah jela; nang hon panpihpa leh hon humbitpa na hia; ka Pathian aw, sawt hal mahmah ken.
