A Song of the going up. Lord, give thought to David, and to all his troubles;
2 BOEIPA taengah a caeng tih Jakob samrhang taengah khaw a caeng coeng.
How he made an oath to the Lord, and gave his word to the great God of Jacob, saying,
3 Ka dap im khuila ka pawk pawt vetih ka soengca rhaenghmuen khaw ka paan mahpawh.
Truly, I will not come into my house, or go to my bed,
4 Ka mik te ih sak ham, ka mikkhu te ngam sak ham ka pae mahpawh.
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or rest to my eyeballs,
5 BOEIPA ham a hmuen neh Jakob kah samrhang ham tolhmuen ka hmuh duela.
Till I have got a place for the Lord, a resting-place for the great God of Jacob.

We had news of it at Ephrathah: we came to it in the fields of the wood.

Let us go into his tent; let us give worship at his feet.
8 Aw BOEIPA nang na duemnah neh na sarhi thingkawng taengah thoo lah.
Come back, O Lord, to your resting-place; you and the ark of your strength.
9 Na khosoih rhoek loh duengnah bai uh saeh lamtah na hlangcim rhoek loh tamhoe uh saeh.
Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; and let your saints give cries of joy.
10 Na sal David ham tah na koelh kah maelhmai te na mangthuung tak moenih.
Because of your servant David, do not give up your king.
11 BOEIPA loh David taengah oltak la a caeng coeng. Na bungko thaihtae lamkah khaw te lamloh mael pawt vetih nang ham ngolkhoel soah kang khueh bitni.
The Lord gave a true oath to David, which he will not take back, saying, I will give your kingdom to the fruit of your body.
12 Ka paipi neh amih ka tukkil ka olphong te na ca rhoek loh a ngaithuen uh atah a ca rhoek khaw na ngolkhoel dongah a yoeyah la ngol uh ni.
If your children keep my word, and the teachings which I will give them, their children will be rulers of your kingdom for ever.
13 BOEIPA loh Zion te a coelh tih amah tolrhum la a sahnaih thil.
For the Lord's heart is on Zion, desiring it for his resting-place.
14 Ka duemnah he ka sahnaih coeng dongah a yoeyah la pahoi ka ngol thil ni.
This is my rest for ever: here will I ever be; for this is my desire.
15 A sakah te ka uem ka uem pah vetih a khuikah khodaeng rhoek te buh ka cung sak ni.
My blessing will be on her food; and her poor will be full of bread.
16 Te vaengah a khosoih rhoek te khangnah ka bai sak vetih a hlangcim rhoek loh tamhoe la tamhoe uh ni.
Her priests will be clothed with salvation; and her saints will give cries of joy.

There I will make the horn of David fertile: I have made ready a light for my king.
18 A thunkha rhoek te yahpohnah ka bai sak vetih anih te a rhuisam neh ka khooi sak ni.
His haters will be clothed with shame; but I will make his crown shining.
