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.

For the leader. On stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, be attentive 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 ends of the earth I call unto you, when my heart is faint: lead me to the rock that is high above me.

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

For you are a refuge to me, a strong tower in face of the foe.

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

O to be guest in your tent forever, hiding beneath your sheltering wings! (Selah)

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

For you, O God, do hear my vows, and grant the desires of those who fear you.

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

Add many days to the life of the king; may his years endure throughout all generations.

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

In the presence of God be he throned forever; may kindness and faithfulness watch over him.

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

And I will sing praise to your name forever, paying my vows day after day.
