Tingtoeng 87

1 [Korah Koca rhoek kah Tingtoeng Laa] Tlang cim dongah a khoengim aka sut tih,

Of the Korahites, a psalm. A song. On the holy mountain stands the city he founded.

2 Jakob tolhmuen boeih lakah Zion vongka rhoek aka lungnah BOEIPA kah,

The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Pathen khopuei namah te n'thangpom a ti pai. (Selah)

Glorious things he is speaking of you, you city of God. (Selah)

4 Kai aka ming rhoek taengah Rahab neh Babylon he ka thoelh ni. Tekah khopuei long ni Philistia, Tyre neh Kusah khaw a sak ne.

‘Among those who are mine I name Rahab and Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, Ethiopia, their people will say I was born in Zion.

5 Zion te khaw pakhat phoeiah pakhat loh, “Anih loh n'cun dongah Khohni loh a thoh bitni,” a ti uh ni.

As for Zion it will be said each and all were born in her.’ The Lord will preserve her.

6 Tekah a sak pilnam te BOEIPA loh a tae vetih ming a daek ni. (Selah)

The Lord will count, when enrolling the peoples, ‘This one was born there, and that one was born there.’ (Selah)

7 Te dongah ka tuisih boeih loh namah dongah lamcawn bangla hlai uh thae.

Singers and dancers alike will say ‘All my springs are in you.’
