O God, why have thou cast off forever? Why does thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Hlamat kah na lai na hlangboel khaw, na rho la na tlan koca khaw, kho na sak thil Zion tlang te khaw poek lah.
Remember thy congregation, which thou have gotten of old, which thou have redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance, and mount Zion, at which thou have dwelt.

Lift up thy feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.

Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly. They have set up their ensigns for signs.
5 Thing ding ah a so la hai aka thueng bangla tueng.
They seemed as men who lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees.

And now they break down all the carved work of it with hatchet and hammers.

They have set thy sanctuary on fire. They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name to the ground.

They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9 Mahmih kah miknoek khaw m'hmu uh pawh. Tonghm a om voelpawt tih mamih khuiah aka ming thai he mevaeng hil nim a om pawt ve?
We do not see our signs. There is no more any prophet, nor is there among us he who knows how long.
10 Pathen tah me hil nim rhal loh a veet vetih thunkha loh na ming he a yoeyah la a tlaitlaek ve?
How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever?

Why do thou draw back thy hand, even thy right hand? Remove it from the midst of thy bosom.

Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

Thou split fountain and flood. Thou dried up mighty rivers.

Thou have set all the borders of the earth. Thou have made summer and winter.

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause. Remember how the foolish man reproaches thee all the day.

Forget not the voice of thine adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against thee ascends continually.
