By David. I will give you thanks with my whole heart. Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.

I will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your Word above all.

3 Kang kawkhaih niah kai han nang pathim moe, palung thungah tha nang ohsak.

In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.

4 Aw Angraeng, long nui ih siangpahrangnawk boih mah na thuih ih lok to thaih o naah, nang to saphaw o tih.

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

Yes, they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, for Yahweh’s glory is great!

6 Angraeng loe hmuensang ah oh; toe poeknaemhaih tawn kaminawk to anih mah khet; amoek kaminawk loe ahmuen kangthla hoiah anih mah panoek boeh.

For though Yahweh is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but he knows the proud from afar.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Yahweh will fulfill that which concerns me. Your loving kindness, Yahweh, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands.
