Tingtoeng 63

1 Judah khosoek ah a om vaengkah David tingtoenglung Pathen namah tah ka Pathen ni. Namah ni kan toem coeng. Namah te ka hinglu loh halthi tih, ka pumsa loh namah te a hue, Diklai ah he rhamrhae neh buhmueh rhathih, tui mueh la om.

A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, my God, you, you do I seek: my heart thirsts for you, my body faints for you in a parched and waterless land.

2 Tedae na sarhi neh na thangpomnah hmuh ham hmuencim ah nang kan dan.

As I in the temple have seen you, beholding your power and your glory,

3 Na sitlohnah he hingnah lakah then tih ka hmuilai he nang taengah domyok ti uh saeh.

for better than life is your kindness: my lips shall utter your praise.

4 Te dongah ka hingnah neh nang kan uem vetih, na ming neh ka kut ka thueng ni.

So, while I live, I will bless you, and lift up my hands in your name.

5 A th a neh maehhloi bangla ka hinglu hah vetih ka ka loh omngaih laa kah hmuilai neh a thangthen ni.

As with marrow and fat am I feasted; with joyful lips I will praise you.

6 Ka rhaenghmuen lamkah loh nang kan poek vaengah nang te hlaempang pakhat puet kan mangtuk.

I call you to mind on my bed, and muse on you in the night watches;

7 Kai ham bomnah la na om dongah na phae hlip ah ka tamhoe.

for you have been my help, I joyfully sing in the shadow of your wings.

8 Nang dongah ka hinglu pangnal tih kai he na bantang kut loh n'duel.

I cling close after you, your right hand holds me up.

9 Amih loh ka hinglu pocinah ham a mae uh dae diklai hmui la kun uh bitni.

But those who seek after my life shall go down to the depths of the earth,

10 cunghang kut ah pat uh vetih maetang buham la om uh ni.

given o’er to the power of the sword, or as prey for jackals to devour.

11 Tedae, manghai tah Pathen rhang neh a kohoe ni. Amah dongah ol aka caeng boeih te a thangthen vaengah laithae aka thui kah a ka te a biing pah ni.

But the king shall rejoice in God: all who own his allegiance will glory. For the mouth of the false shall be stopped.
