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

¹How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your 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 every day? How long shall my enemy triumph 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.

³Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

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

⁴Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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 trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

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

⁶I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.
