¹TOUPA, nang tuh suan tengteng tana ka omna uh na hia.

¹ Lord, The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

²Tangte pian maa, leitung leh khovel na bawlkhiak ma inleng; khantawn akipan khantawn phain leng nang tuh Pathian na hi.

²Before the mountains were brought forth, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

³Nang mihing tuh manthatna ah na kiksaka; Mihingtate aw, kik un, na chi jel hi.

³You turn man to destruction, saying, “Return, you children of men.”

⁴Nang sehin kum sang khat tuh janmangta bang phet ahi ngala, jan ven khat sung bang phet ahi.

⁴For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past, like a watch in the night.

⁵Amau tuh tui lian bangin na taimang a; khang khat ihmu bang phet ahi uh: jingsanga loupa dawn khia bang ahi uh.

⁵You sweep them away as they sleep. In the morning they sprout like new grass.

⁶Jingsangin a hongpouin a hongdawn khiaa; nitaklamin phukin a oma, a vuai hi.

⁶In the morning it sprouts and springs up. By evening, it is withered and dry.

⁷Na hehna a hihmanin ka om ua, na thangpaihna a hihmangbata leng ka om jiak un.

⁷For we are consumed in your anger. We are troubled in your wrath.

⁸Ka thulimlouhnate uh na maah na koiha, ka khelhna gukte uh na mel vakah na koihta hi.

⁸You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.

⁹Ka damsung ni tengteng uh na hehna ah a mang jela: ka dam sung kumte uh tangthu bangin ka tawpsak uhi.

⁹For all our days have passed away in your wrath. We bring our years to an end as a sigh.

¹⁰Ka damsung kumte uh kum sawmsagih a hi-a, hatna jiakin kum sawmgiat leng ahi thei hi; himahleh a sawtna tuh sepgimna leh lungngaihna lel a hi-a; a mang paha, kou leng ka leng mang jel uhi.

¹⁰The days of our years are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty years; yet their pride is but labor and sorrow, for it passes quickly, and we fly away.

¹¹Kuan ahia na hehna thilhihtheihdan theia, nangmah kihtak dingdan banga na hehna theilou?

¹¹Who knows the power of your anger, your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?

¹²Ka damsung nite uh simdan honhilhin, pilna lungtang ka neih loh hialna ding un.

¹²So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

¹³TOUPA aw, hong kik nawnin; bangtan ahia na heh ding? Na sikhate tungthuah na lungsim kihei sakin.

¹³Relent, Yahweh! “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. How long? Have compassion on your servants!

¹⁴Aw, jingsangin na chitnain hontai sakin; ka damsung tengteng ua ka nuam ua ka kipah theihna ding un.

¹⁴Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

¹⁵Nang na honhihgim ni leh, thil hoihlou ka tuah kum sung hu te bang un honkipaksakin.

¹⁵Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen evil.

¹⁶Na nasep tuh na sikhate kiangah kithei henla, na thupina tuh a tate kiang uah kithei hen.Huan, TOUPA ka Pathian uh kilawmna tuh ka tunguah om hen: ka khut nasep uh ka tunguah leng hihkipin; ahi, ka khut nasep uh hihkipin.

¹⁶Let your work appear to your servants; your glory to their children.

¹⁷Huan, TOUPA ka Pathian uh kilawmna tuh ka tunguah om hen: ka khut nasep uh ka tunguah leng hihkipin; ahi, ka khut nasep uh hihkipin.

¹⁷Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
