¹{A Prayer of David.} Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.

¹TOUPA aw, keilam ah na bil hondoh inla, hondawngin; genthei leh tagah lua ka hi hi.

²Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.

²Ka hinna vom hoih inla; Pathian limsak mi ka hi ngala: ka Pathian aw, nangmah muang na sikha, hondamin.

³Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.

³TOUPA aw, honhehpih inla; nitumin ka honsam ngala.

⁴Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

⁴Na sikha hinna hihnuam in; TOUPA aw, ka lungsim na kiangah ka koih det jiakin.

⁵For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.

⁵TOUPA, nang, na hoiha, ngaihdam na ngapa, a honsam peuhmah tungah chitna na hau ngal hi.

⁶Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.

⁶TOUPA aw, ka thumna ah na bil na dohin; hehpih kon ngetna aw ngaikhia in.

⁷In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.

⁷Ka mangbatna niin kon sam dinga a, lah non dawng ding hi,

⁸Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.

⁸TOUPA aw, pathiante lakah nang bang himhim a om kei ua; na thilhihte bang thilhih himhim leng a om kei hi.

⁹All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.

⁹TOUPA aw, na siam nam chihte a hongpai ding ua, na maah a hongkun ding ua, na min a honpahtawi ding uhi.

¹⁰For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.

¹⁰Nang na thupi ngala, thillamdangte leng na hihjela; nangmah kia Pathian na hi hi.

¹¹Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

¹¹TOUPA aw, na lampi tuh honensak inla, na thutak ah ka omding hi. Na min lau dingin lungtang khat honpu sakin.

¹²I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

¹²TOUPA ka Pathian aw, ka lungtang tengtengin ka honphat dinga; na min khantawnin ka pahtawi ding hi.

¹³For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

¹³Ka tunga na chitna a thupi jiakin, ka hinna kokhuk nuainungpen akipan na humbit ngala.

¹⁴O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.

¹⁴Pathian aw, mi kisatheiten honsual ua, mi ngongtat omkhawmten ka hinna hihmang tumin a zong ua, nang tuh a ma uah a honkoih kei nak uhi.

¹⁵But thou, Lord, art a ùGod merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.

¹⁵Himahleh, TOUPA aw, nang tuh Pathian, lainatnaa dim, mi hehpihthei, lungnel, chitna leh thutak hau, na hi.

¹⁶Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

¹⁶Keilam hongnga inla, aw, honhehpihin, na sikha kiangah na hatna pia inla, na sikhanu ta hondam in.Hoihna ding chiamtehna honlak in; honhoten huai tuh a muh ua, a zahlakna ding un, TOUPA, nang non panpih-a, non khamuan jiakin.

¹⁷Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.

¹⁷Hoihna ding chiamtehna honlak in; honhoten huai tuh a muh ua, a zahlakna ding un, TOUPA, nang non panpih-a, non khamuan jiakin.
