¹{To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Blessed is he that understandeth the poor: Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.

¹Gentheite ngaihtuah mi a hampha hi, mangbat niin Toupan amah a humbit ding hi.

²Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy in the land; and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

²Toupan amah humbitin a hihhing dinga, leiah vualjawl in a om ding; amah douten ututa a bawl dingin pe ken.

³Jehovah will sustain him upon the bed of languishing: thou turnest all his bed in his sickness.

³Toupan a gimna lupna munah a hihhat dinga; nang a chi a nat lai in a lupna na bawlsak vek jel hi.

⁴As for me, I said, Jehovah, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

⁴Toupa aw, honhehpih inla, ka hinna hihdam in, na tungah thil ka hihkhial ngal a, ka chi a.

⁵Mine enemies wish me evil: When will he die, and his name perish?

⁵Hondouten, chikchiang in a siin, a min a mang de aw! Chiin, hon gensia uh.

⁶And if one come to see [me], he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth wickedness to itself: he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

⁶Huan a lak ua kuahiamin a hongveh laiin, thu bangmahlou maimai a gen jela; a lungtang in thulimlouhna a lakhawm naka; a pawt khiak takin mi a hilh jel hi.

⁷All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt.

⁷Honhote tengteng in hon gensiain a kihuau ua: honhihsiatna ding uh a ngaihtuah ua.

⁸A thing of Belial cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he is laid down, he will rise up no more.

⁸Natna hoihlou takin a man kipta, tu-a lum a thou nawn ta kei ding a chi ua.

⁹Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I confided, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

⁹A hi, ka lawm kithuahpih theih, ka muantak, ka tanghou nekpih ngeiin a khetul ka tungah a likta hi.

¹⁰But thou, Jehovah, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

¹⁰Hiamhleh, Toupa aw, nang honhehpih inla, amau ka thuk theihna dingin honkai thou nawnin.

¹¹By this I know that thou delightest in me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

¹¹Hiaiah ka tungah na kipak chih ka thei hi, hondou in a honzoh louh jiakin.

¹²But as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

¹²Kei jaw lungsim hoihtak ka putna ah nangman non lenchinten a, Na maah khantawn adingin non koih hi.Toupa, Israel Pathian, Khantawn akipan khantawn pha in phat in om hen, Amen, Amen.

¹³Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen, and Amen.

¹³Toupa, Israel Pathian, Khantawn akipan khantawn pha in phat in om hen, Amen, Amen.
