¹Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me.

¹Toupa aw, nang ngentel takin non ensuaka, non theita hi.

²You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar.

²Nang ka tut leh ka din na thei naknaka, ka ngaihtuahna tuh gamlapi akipanin leng na thei thei hi.

³You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.

³Ka pai leh ka lup non entel jela, ka omdan tengteng na thei vek hi.

⁴For there is not a word on my tongue, but, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.

⁴Ngaiin, Toupa aw, nang na theih siang vek louh, ka lei ah thu himhim a om kei hi.

⁵You hem me in behind and before. You laid your hand on me.

⁵Nang ka nunglam leh ka mallamah non umsuaka, ka tungah na khut na koih lai hi.

⁶This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.

⁶Huchitela theihna kei dingin a lamdang lua a; a sang tela, ka pha zou kei hi.

⁷Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence?

⁷Na kha kiang akipanin koiah ka pai dia? Na ma akipan koiah ka tai mang dia?

⁸If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , behold, you are there!

⁸Van ah kahtou ning chileng, huaiah lah na om ngala: Sheol ah lupna bawl ning chileng ngaiin, huaiah leng na om jel ngala.

⁹If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea;

⁹Jing kha jakin, tuipi tawp pekah vaom ning chi leng;

¹⁰Even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me.

¹⁰Huaiah leng na khutin non pi dinga, na khut taklamin honlen ding ahi ngala.

¹¹If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; the light around me will be night”;

¹¹Pellouin mialin honkhuh zouvek ding a, ka kima vak tuh jan ahi ding chi dek lengleng;

¹²even the darkness doesn’t hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.

¹²Mialin leng nang lakah bangmah a liah keia, jan lah sun bangin a vakjaw ahi: nang dingin mial leh vak a kibang salpsap hi.

¹³For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

¹³Nangmah ngeiin ka lungsim na neia: ka nu gilsungah non phankhawm hi.

¹⁴I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

¹⁴Na kiangah kipahthu kon hilh dinga; lauhuai tak leh lamdang pi-a bawl ka hih jiakin: na thilhihte lah lamdang tak ahi a; huai tuh ka hinnain a theitel mahmah hi.

¹⁵My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.

¹⁵A guka bawla ka oma, lei mun nuainungpena kilawmtaka bawla ka om laiin, ka guh ka tang nang lakah selin a om kei hi.

¹⁶Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.

¹⁶Ka lim kibawl kim nailou tuh na mitin a mu-a, na laibu ah ka hiangte tengteng gelh vek ahi, ani sima bawlin a om jela, khat leng a om nai louh laiin.

¹⁷How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is their sum!

¹⁷Pathian aw, na ngaihtuahnate kei adingin manpha hina tele! a gawmkhawmna thupi hina tele!

¹⁸If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.

¹⁸Sim dek mahleng, a tamdan tuh piaunel sangin a tam zo ding: ka khanloh aleh, na kiangah ka om nilouh naknak ahi.

¹⁹If only you, God, would kill the wicked. Get away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

¹⁹Pathian aw, mi gilou-saloute na thah ngei dinga; huchiin sisan suah hat miten honpaisan ding.

²⁰For they speak against you wickedly. Your enemies take your name in vain.

²⁰Amau tuh gilou takin nang a hon gensia un, nangmah douten na min tuh a genthanghuai nak uhi.

²¹Yahweh, don’t I hate those who hate you? Am I not grieved with those who rise up against you?

²¹Toupa aw, nangmah hote ka ho kei ahia? Nangmah sualte tungah ka lung kim lou kei ahia?

²²I hate them with perfect hatred. They have become my enemies.

²²Amau tuh huat petmahin ka huaa: hondoute dingin ka sep chiat hi.

²³Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts.

²³Pathian aw, ngentel takin honen suak inla, ka lungtang thei in: honchian inla, ka ngaihtuahnate thei in.Huan, kei ah gilou-salou lam mawngmawng a om hiam om lou, en inla, khantawn lampi ah honpi in.

²⁴See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

²⁴Huan, kei ah gilou-salou lam mawngmawng a om hiam om lou, en inla, khantawn lampi ah honpi in.
