La Bu 13

1 O Yahweh Pakai, phat itihchan geihi neisuhmil ding hitam? Itih chan keija kon'a nakiselmang ding nahim?

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Itihchan gei hiche hahsatna hi kathoh ding ham? Itih chan asun ajan'a lungkhamna dimset'a kaum ding ham? Itih chan kagalmiten hanla eisap khum diu hitam?

How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

3 O Yahweh Pakai, Elohim ka Pathen hung kiheiyin, neihin donbut tan! Katha kile dohsah'in, neithisah hih'in.

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, —Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

4 “Ama hi kajou tai!” tin kamelma te hi ka lhuh nin kipasah hih beh in.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.

5 Amavang namingailutna longlouvachu kingai jing kahi. Neihuhdoh jeh a keima kipa jing ding kahi.

But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:

6 Keiman Yahweh Pakai vahchoi lan sang e ajeh chu Ama keidin thilpha tah eibol peh ati.

I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.
