¹TOUPA aw, bangtan ahia non mangngilh nilouhlouh ding? Bangtan ahia kei akipana na mai na sel ding?

¹How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

²Ni tumin ka lungtang a lungkhamna neiin bangtan ahia ka lungsim a ka gelgel ding? bangtan ka melma ka tunga tawisan hi ding ahia?

²How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

³TOUPA ka Pathian aw, ngaihtuah inla, hondawng dih ve: ka mit honhihvak sak inla, huchilouin jaw sihna ihmutin ka ihmu kha ding hi.

³Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

⁴Ka melmain, Amah ka zouta, a chi kha ding hi; ka lin leh kei hondoute a kipak kha ding uhi.

⁴Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.

⁵Himahleh ken jaw na zahngaihna ka muang ahi; non hotdamna ah ka lungtang akipak ding:Ka tunga hoih taka a hih tak jiakin: TOUPA pahtawiin la ka sa ding hi.

⁵But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

⁶Ka tunga hoih taka a hih tak jiakin: TOUPA pahtawiin la ka sa ding hi.

⁶I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
