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.

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto 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 will I cry unto 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 hast been a shelter for me, [and] 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 abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust 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, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

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

Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: [and] his years 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 for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, [which] 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 will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
