Tingtoeng 61

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

“For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear my cry, O God! 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 extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me!

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

For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy.

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

I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings.

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

For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name.

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

O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations!

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

May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him!

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

So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.
