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.

¹God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

²Huchimah bangin mun siangthou ah ka hon en gige hi, na thilhihtheihna leh na thupina mu dingin.

²So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

³Na chitna ka hinna sanga a hoihjawk jiakin ka muk in a honphat ding hi.

³Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

⁴Huchi mahbang in ka damsung tengin ka honphat ding: na minin ka khutte ka jak ding hi.

⁴So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

⁵Ka hinna tuh guhngek leh thaua tai bangin a tai dinga; ka min kipah muk puin a honphat ding hi.

⁵My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

⁶Ka lupna tunga kon theihgige laiin, jana na tungtang thu ka lunggel laiin.

⁶when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

⁷Nang tuh honpanpihpa nahi ngala, na kha nuaiah nuamin la kasa ding hi.

⁷For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

⁸Ka hinna in honjui tetteta: na khut taklamin non kai jel hi.

⁸My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

⁹Ka hinna hihmang tuma zongte leimun nuainung ahte khawng a lut ding ua.

⁹But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

¹⁰They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

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.

¹¹But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
