Saam 61

1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Neginah ah sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, ka qahhaih lok hae tahngai ah loe, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah.

Hear my cry, O God. Attend to my prayer.

2 Palungthin thazok naah, long boenghaih hoiah nang to kang kawk; kai pongah kasang kue lungsong khaeah na caeh haih ah.

From the end of the earth I will call to thee when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Nang loe ka buephaih ah na oh moe, ka misanawk hmaa ah sipae kacak ah na oh.

For thou have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4 Nang ih kahni im ah dungzan khoek to ka oh han; na pakhraeh tahlip ah ka buep han. (Selah)

I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever. I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

5 Aw Sithaw, ka sak ih lokkamhaih nang thaih pae boeh; na hmin zii kaminawk ih qawk to nang paek boeh.

For thou, O God, have heard my vows. Thou have given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.

6 Siangpahrang to hinglung sawksak ah loe, boeng thai ai ah dungzan khoek to caksak poe ah.

Thou will prolong the king's life. His years shall be as many generations.

7 Anih loe Sithaw hmaa ah dungzan khoek to om nasoe loe, tahmenhaih hoi loktang lok mah, anih to ohhaih poe nasoe.

He shall abide before God forever. O prepare loving kindness and truth that they may preserve him.

8 To naah na hmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak poe moe, lok ka maihaih to ni thokkruek ka sak han.

So I will sing praise to thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.
