1{A Psalm of David; when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my ùGod; early will I seek thee. My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh languisheth for thee, in a dry and weary land without water:
1Pathian aw, nang ka Pathian na hi a; jingsangpiin kon zong hi: ka hinna nangmah duhin a dangtaka, ka sain a honngai ahi, gam keu leh gim tui omlouhna ah.
2To see thy power and thy glory, as I have beheld thee in the sanctuary;
2Huchimah bangin mun siangthou ah ka hon en gige hi, na thilhihtheihna leh na thupina mu dingin.
3For thy loving-kindness is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
3Na chitna ka hinna sanga a hoihjawk jiakin ka muk in a honphat ding hi.
4So will I bless thee while I live; I will lift up my hands in thy name.
4Huchi mahbang in ka damsung tengin ka honphat ding: na minin ka khutte ka jak ding hi.
5My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips.
5Ka hinna tuh guhngek leh thaua tai bangin a tai dinga; ka min kipah muk puin a honphat ding hi.
6When I remember thee upon my bed, I meditate on thee in the night-watches:
6Ka lupna tunga kon theihgige laiin, jana na tungtang thu ka lunggel laiin.
7For thou hast been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing for joy.
7Nang tuh honpanpihpa nahi ngala, na kha nuaiah nuamin la kasa ding hi.
8My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.
8Ka hinna in honjui tetteta: na khut taklamin non kai jel hi.
9But those that seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go into the lower parts of the earth;
9Ka hinna hihmang tuma zongte leimun nuainung ahte khawng a lut ding ua.
10They shall be given over to the power of the sword; they shall be the portion of foxes.
10Namsau thilhihtheihna kiangah piak ahi ding uhi: sehalte tan a hita ding uhi.Kumpipa bel Pathian ah a nuam dinga: amah lou a kichiam peuhmah in a suang ding ua, juauthu gen hat kamte tuh huma om ding ahih jiak in.
11But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by him shall glory: for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
11Kumpipa bel Pathian ah a nuam dinga: amah lou a kichiam peuhmah in a suang ding ua, juauthu gen hat kamte tuh huma om ding ahih jiak in.
