Tingtoeng 84

1 [Aka mawt ham Korah Koca rhoek kah Gittith Rhotoeng Tingtoenglung] Caempuei BOEIPA namah kah tolhmuen tah, lungnah kap tloe pai o!

For the Chief Musician. On an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. How lovely are your dwellings, LORD of Hosts!

2 BOEIPA kah vongup te ka hinglu loh a ngaidam tih thana sut. Ka lungbuei neh ka pumsa loh aka hing Pathen te a tamhoe thil.

My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

3 Ka manghai neh ka Pathen, caempuei BOEIPA kaimih kah hmueihtuk taengah vaa long pataeng im a hmuh tih pumpil loh amah vapuel ham bu a khueh pah.

Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, LORD of Hosts, my King, and my God.

4 Nang im kah kho aka sa rhoek a yoethen pai tih, namah te rhawp n'thangthen uh. (Selah)

Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. (Selah)

5 Nang dongah a sarhi aka khueh tih, a thinko ah longpuei aka khui hlang tah a yoethen.

Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.

6 Baca kol ah aka pongpa loh tuisih a khueh tih, lobah yoethennah khaw a buem.

Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.

7 Thadueng khui lamkah thadueng neh cet uh. Zion kah Pathen hmaiah phoe.

They go from strength to strength. Every one of them appears before God in Zion.

8 Ka thangthuinah he caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh ya saeh lamtah, Jakob Pathen loh hnatun saeh. (Selah)

LORD, God of Hosts, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)

9 Pathen aw kaimih kah photling he hmu lamtah na koelh hlang kah maelhmai khaw paelki lah.

Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.

10 Na vongup khuikah hnin at he khohnin thawngkhat lakah then. Ka Pathen im kah thohka tawt he, halangnah dap kah om lakah ka ngaih.

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 BOEIPA Pathen tah khomik neh photling la om. Mikdaithen neh thangpomnah he khaw BOEIPA loh a paek. Cuemthuek dongah aka pongpa taengah hnothen a hloh pah moenih.

For the LORD God is a sun and a shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

12 Caempuei BOEIPA namah dongah, aka pangtung hlang tah a yoethen pai.

LORD of Hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
