¹Toupa, David a haksat thuakna tengteng theihpih in;

²Toupa kianga kichiam, Jakob mi hatpa kianga thu achiamdan;

²how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:

³Ka omna in ah ka lut het kei dia, ka lupna ah ka kah sam kei ding hi;

³“Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;

⁴Ka miten a sin ka phal kei dinga ka mit vunte leng a sit uh ka phal sam kei ding;

⁴I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids;

⁵Toupa mun ding ka zon suah masiah, Jakob mi hatpa omna ding chiin.

⁵until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

⁶Ngaiin, a thu tuh Sphratathan-ah ka ja ua; sing gamah ka muta uhi.

⁶Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar:

⁷Amah omnate ah ka lut ding ua; a khe ngakna bulah chibai ka buk ding uhi.

⁷“We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.

⁸Toupa aw, thou inla, na khawl mun dingah lutin; nang toh na hatna bawm toh.

⁸Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place; you, and the ark of your strength.

⁹Na siampute tuh diktatnain kivan uhenla; na mi siangthoute nuamsain kikou uhen.

⁹Let your priest be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

¹⁰Na sikha David jiakin na thaunilh mel tuh kiheisak nawn ken.

¹⁰For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.

¹¹Toupan David kiangah thutakin a kichiamta a; huai tuh a lehngatsan kei ding hi: na pumpi gaha mi laltutphah ka tusak ding.

¹¹Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.

¹²Na taten ka thukhun leh ka thutheihsak, amau ka hilh ding a zuih uleh, a tate u leng khantawnin na laltutphah ah a tu jel ding uh, chiin.

¹²If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”

¹³Toupan Zion lah a tel ngala; a omna dingin a deih hi.

¹³For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.

¹⁴Hiai khantawn adinga ka khawlmun ding ahi: hiaiah ka om nilouh ding; ka deihlam ahi ngala.

¹⁴“This is my resting place forever. Here I will live, for I have desired it.

¹⁵A nek ding tampiin vual ka jawl dia; a mi gentheite uh tanghouin ka taisak ding hi.

¹⁵I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

¹⁶A siampute hotdamnain ka van dinga; a mi siangthoute nuamsain a kikoukou ding uhi.

¹⁶Her priests I will also clothe with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.

¹⁷Huaiah David ki tuh ka sel khe sak ding: ka thaunilh adingin khawnvak ka septa hi.Amah doute tuh zahlaknain ka van dinga, amah tungah jaw a lallukhu a te sengsung ding hi, chiin.

¹⁷There I will make the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.

¹⁸Amah doute tuh zahlaknain ka van dinga, amah tungah jaw a lallukhu a te sengsung ding hi, chiin.

¹⁸I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent.”
