1 Aka mawt ham David kah tingtoenglung BOEIPA nang kah sarhi dongah manghai a kohoe tih, namah kah khangnah dongah bahoeng omngaih.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The king rejoices in your strength, LORD! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

2 Anih ham a lungbuei kah a ngaihlihnah khaw na doo tih, a hmuilai kah a kueknah te na hloh pah pawh. (Selah)

You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips. (Selah)

3 Anih te yoethennah then neh na doe tih a lu ah suicilh rhuisam na khueh pah.

For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

4 Namah taengkah hingnah ham bih vaengah anih ham kumhal ah khohnin na puh sak tih na paek yoeyah.

He asked life of you and you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

5 Nang kah khangnah lamloh a thangpomnah tanglue tih, mueithennah neh rhuepomnah te anih dongah na hal coeng.

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honour and majesty on him.

6 Anih te yoethennah na paek yoeyah dongah namah hmai kah kohoenah neh a ko na hoe sak.

For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

7 Te dongah manghai loh BOEIPA dongah pangtung tih, Khohni kah sitlohnah rhang neh tuen voel mahpawh.

For the king trusts in the LORD. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

8 Na thunkha boeih te na kut loh a hmuh vetih, na lunguet rhoek khaw na bantang kut loh a tuuk bitni.

Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

9 Namah na phoe tue vaengah amih te hmaipom hmai bangla na khueh bitni. BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh amih te a dolh vetih hmai loh a hlawp ni.

You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. The LORD will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

10 Amih kah a thaihtae te diklai lamkah, amih kah tiingan khaw hlang capa rhoek khui lamkah na milh sak ni.

You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from amongst the children of men.

11 Nang taengah tangkhuepnah a thae la moeh uh tih n'taeng uh dae a phu uh hae moenih.

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

12 Tedae na liva neh amih maelhmai te na nuen vaengah amih te a hnuk la na rhoe bitni.

For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

13 BOEIPA te pomsang pai saeh. Na sarhi te ka hlai uh vetih na thayung thamal te ka tingtoeng uh ni.

Be exalted, LORD, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.
