The prayer of the pauper, when he was anxious, and so he poured out his petition in the sight of the Lord. O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my outcry reach you.
2 Kai kah puencak tue vaengah na maelhmai te kai taeng lamkah thuh boeh. Kang khue tue vaengah kai taengla na hna han kaeng lamtah kai he koe n'doo lah.
Do not turn your face away from me. In whatever day that I am in trouble, incline your ear to me. In whatever day that I will call upon you, heed me quickly.

By the face of your anger and indignation, you lifted me up and threw me down.

My days have declined like a shadow, and I have dried out like hay.

Let these things be written in another generation, and the people who will be created will praise the Lord.

So may they announce the name of the Lord in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem:
22 BOEIPA taengah thothueng ham pilnam rhoek neh ram rhoek tah tun tingtun uh ni.
while the people convene, along with kings, in order that they may serve the Lord.

He responded to him in the way of his virtue: Declare to me the brevity of my days.
24 Te dongah, “Ka Pathen aw, kai kah ka khohnin he a boengli ah lo boel mai. Namah kah kum tah cadilcahma phoeikah cadilcahma due khaw a pha kanoek.
Do not call me back in the middle of my days: your years are from generation to generation.

In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.

They will perish, but you remain. And all will grow old like a garment. And, like a blanket, you will change them, and they will be changed.
27 Tedae namah tah amah la na om tih na kum khaw bawt pawh.
Yet you are ever yourself, and your years will not decline.
28 Na sal rhoek kah a ca rhoek loh kho a sak uh vetih a tiingan loh namah mikhmuh ah pai ni,” ka ti.
The sons of your servants will live, and their offspring will be guided aright in every age.
