1Ka pahlonghaih Angraeng Sithaw, nang khaeah aqum athun kang hangh.
1(88-1) A Song, a Psalm of the sons of Korah; for the Leader; upon Mahalath Leannoth. Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. (88-2) O LORD, God of my salvation, what time I cry in the night before Thee,
2Lawk ka thuihaih nang khaeah pha nasoe; ka hanghaih lok na tahngai pae ah.
2(88-3) Let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my cry.
3Ka hinghaih mah raihaih tong boeh moe, ka hinghaih taprong taengah phak boeh.
3(88-4) For my soul is sated with troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
4Kai loe tangqom thungah caeh kaminawk hoi nawnto ang kroek o hmaek boeh; tha tawn ai kami baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
4(88-5) I am counted with them that go down into the pit; I am become as a man that hath no help;
5Kadueh kaminawk salakah vah sut ih kami, kami hum moe, taprong ah pasong o ih baktiah, na ban thung hoiah na takhoe ving moe, anih to na panoek ai boeh.
5(88-6) Set apart among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more; and they are cut off from Thy hand.
6Kathuk koek tangqom, kaving moe, kathuk parai tangqom thungah nang pasong.
6(88-7) Thou hast laid me in the nethermost pit, in dark places, in the deeps.
7Palung na phuihaih mah kai ang taeh; kai hae na tuiphunawk boih hoiah nang pacaekthlaek. Selah .
7(88-8) Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and all Thy waves Thou pressest down. Selah
8Kam puinawk to nang lak pae ving; kai hae nihcae mah panuet hanah nang sak; kai nang paung caeng pongah, tasa bangah ka tacawt thai ai boeh.
8(88-9) Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me; Thou hast made me an abomination unto them; I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
9Raihaih mah ka mik amrosak boeh; Angraeng, ni thokkruek nang kang kawk; nang khaeah ka ban kang payangh.
9(88-10) Mine eye languisheth by reason of affliction; I have called upon Thee, O LORD, every day, I have spread forth my hands unto Thee.
10Kadueh kaminawk hanah dawnrai hmuen na sak pae han maw? Kadueh kaminawk angthawk o ueloe, nang to saphaw o tih maw? Selah .
10(88-11) Wilt Thou work wonders for the dead? Or shall the shades arise and give Thee thanks? Selah
11Nam lunghaih to taprong thungah thui o tih maw, to tih ai boeh loe na oepthohhaih to amrohaih thungah thui o tih maw?
11(88-12) Shall Thy mercy be declared in the grave? or Thy faithfulness in destruction?
12Na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to khoving thungah panoek o tih maw? Na toenghaih doeh pahnet thaih prae ah panoek o tih maw?
12(88-13) Shall Thy wonders be known in the dark? and Thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13Toe Aw Angraeng, kai loe nang khaeah ka qah; akhawn bangah lawkthuihaih loe na hmaa ah phak boeh.
13(88-14) But as for me, unto Thee, O LORD, do I cry, and in the morning doth my prayer come to meet Thee.
14Angraeng, tipongah ka pakhra nang vah pae ving loe? Tipongah mikhmai nang hawk taak ving loe?
14(88-15) LORD, why castest Thou off my soul? Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?
15Kai loe nawkta nathuem hoi patang ka khang boeh moe, ka duek duih boeh; raihaih nang tongsak pongah kang pho sut boeh.
15(88-16) I am afflicted and at the point of death from my youth up; I have borne Thy terrors, I am distracted.
16Palung na phuihaih mah kai ang kraeng khoep boeh; nang tongsak ih raihaih mah ang paro boeh.
16(88-17) Thy fierce wrath is gone over me; Thy terrors have cut me off.
17To hmuennawk loe tuibaktiah ka taengah ni thokkruek angzoh o; kai hae nawnto ang takui o.
17(88-18) They came round about me like water all the day; they compassed me about together.
18Palung ih kami hoi ampuinawk to kai khae hoi kangthla ah nang suek pae, kam puinawk loe vinghaih thungah oh o.
18(88-19) Friend and companion hast Thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
