¹{To the chief Musician. An instruction; of the sons of Korah.} As the hart panteth after the water-brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

¹Sakhi tal, luita tui duha nak hawkhawk bangin, Pathian aw, ka hinna nangmah duhin a nak hawkhawk ahi.

²My soul thirsteth for God, for the living ùGod: when shall I come and appear before God?

²Ka hinna Pathian duh in, Pathian hing duhin, a dangtak ahi; chikchiang in ahia Pathian ma ka tun dinga, A mai ka muh ding.

³My tears have been my bread day and night, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

³Ka khitui sun leh jan in ka an ahia, Na Pathian koia om ahia leh! Honchi nilouhlouh ua.

⁴These things I remember and have poured out my soul within me: how I passed along with the multitude, how I went on with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a festive multitude.

⁴Hiai thil ka thei gige a, ka hinna ka sungah ka sungbua a, mipi laka ka paiin, nuamna leh phatna ging toh, mi tampi khawlni-a Pathian biakin juana a ma uh ka kaih jel dante.

⁵Why art thou cast down, my soul, and art disquieted in me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [for] the health of his countenance.

⁵Ka hinna aw, bangachia kun nilouh? Bangachia ka sunga buai? Pathian lamen in; a melma damna jiakin amah ka honphat ding ahi ngala, hon panpihpa leh ka Pathian.

⁶My God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember thee from the land of the Jordan, and the Hermons, from mount Mizar.

⁶Ka Pathian aw, ka hinna ka sungah a kun nilouh; huaijiakin Jordan leh Hermon gam akipan, Mizar tang akipanin kon thei gige ahi.

⁷Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy cataracts; all thy breakers and thy billows are gone over me.

⁷Na tui luang ging juajua khawngah tuithuk leh tuithuk a kisam ua: na tui kihawt leh na tui kisep tengteng in honvuk tumta hi.

⁸In the day-time will Jehovah command his loving-kindness, and in the night his song shall be with me, a prayer unto the ùGod of my life.

⁸Himahleh, Toupan a chitna tuh sunin thu a pe ding a, a lain jan chiah honompih ding hi, ka hinna Pathian kiang a thumna in.

⁹I will say unto ùGod my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

⁹Pathian ka suangpi kiang ah, Bangdia honmangngilh na hia! Bangdinga melma nuaisiahna jiaka lungkhama ka mau vialvial nak! ka chi ding hi.

¹⁰As with a crushing in my bones mine adversaries reproach me, while they say unto me all the day, Where is thy God?

¹⁰Ka guh a namsau om bang maiin hondouten hon gense gige ua; Na Pathian koia om ahia leh! honchi nilouhlouh ua.Ka hinna aw, Bangachia kun nilouh? Bangachia ka sung a buai? Pathian lamen in: amah ka honphat ding ahi ngala, hon panpihpa leh ka Pathian ahi.

¹¹Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my God.

¹¹Ka hinna aw, Bangachia kun nilouh? Bangachia ka sung a buai? Pathian lamen in: amah ka honphat ding ahi ngala, hon panpihpa leh ka Pathian ahi.
