Tingtoeng 61

1 Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah Pathen aw ka tamlung he ya lamtah ka thangthuinah he hnatung lah.

For the end, amongst the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer.

2 Nang te Diklai a bawt lamkah kan khue. Ka lungbuei a rhae vaengah kamah lakah aka sang lungpang taengla kai nan mawt.

From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:

3 Kai ham tah hlipyingnah neh thunkha hmai ah sarhi rhaltoengim la na om.

because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

4 Na dap khuiah kumhal ka bakuep vetih na phae hlip ah ka ying ni. (Selah)

I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. (Pause)

5 Pathen namah loh ka olcaeng te na yaak dongah na ming aka rhih tah rho na paek.

For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.

6 Manghai kah a tue khohnin te puh sak lamtah a kum khaw cadilcahma duela nguel sak.

You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations.

7 Sitlohnah Pathen hmai ah kumhal khosa saeh lamtah a khueh oltak loh anih te kueinah saeh.

He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

8 Khohnin, khohnin ah ka olcaeng te thuung ham na ming ka tingtoeng yoeyah.

So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
