1 Keiman nangma kangailui Pakai; Nangma hi kathahatna nahi.
To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said, I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
2 Pakai hi kasongpi, kakulpi, chuleh eihuhhingpu ahin, ka Pathen hi kasongpi ahin eiveng tup jing ahi. Amahi kalumdal, eihuhhinga thahat chu ahin, chuleh kahoidohna munpi chu ahi.
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3 Keiman thangvah dinga lomtah Pakai chu kakouvin, aman kamelmatea kon in eihuhdoh’in ahi.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 Thina khoisatna chun eiumkimvel tan, manthahna twipi chun eichup tan ahi.
The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.
The bands of Sheol surrounded me, the cords of death encountered me. (Sheol h7585)

In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.

Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.
8 Pakai nahhom a meikhu ahung potdoh'in, meikou gimneitah akam a kon in ahungkou doh’in chuleh Mei-am al lenglung Ama-a kon in ahung koudoh’in ahi.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.
9 Aman vanho chu ahongdoh’in meilom thimletlut chu ahin chotphan ahung kumsuh in,
And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

15 O Pakai nangin nagalmi ho naphoa lunghangtah a nakisen chun twikhanglen ato geijin akikangin, leiset bulpi jouse jong akeuvin aumjie.
And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:
17 Aman kagalmi hattah tah ho a konin eihuh doh in, kasang a hatjo valeidougal hoa kon in eihuhdoh’in ahi.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.

And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.

Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.
