La Bu 57
1 Neilungset in O Pathen, nei khoton! Neivenbit jingna ding’in nang malam ka hin sang’e. Hahsatna ho abeitokahsen na lhaving lim noi a ka kisel jing ding ahi.
[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.] Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.
2 Ka chung’a athilgon eisuhbulhing pehna ding’in Pathen hatchungnung chu ka kouve.
I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.
3 Aman eihuhdoh ding leh eidel lele ho jumsahna ding’a van’a kon’a panpina eihinpeh ding ahi. Ka Pathen’in angailutna longlou leh akitahna a chu eihung vil ding ahi.
He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me. (Selah) God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.
4 Keipi bahkai hangtah hon mihem annchah man dia achanlhih le banin galmite’n eiumkimvel’uvin, aha uhi tengcha leh thalchang bangin asunvangthei in, alei’u jong chemjam hemset tobang'in asat tan thei e.
My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 O Pathen nangma hi van mun jouse chungvum sang’in hung kichoisang’in! Na loupina hin leiset chung mun jouse hi salvah hen!
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be above all the earth.
6 Ka galmite’n thang eikampeh uvin, keima lunggim leh lunglengvai in kaum’e. Amahon ka lampi’a kotong thuhtah alai un ahinlah amaho mama alhalut jiuvin ahi.
They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves. (Selah)
7 O Pathen nang a lungmon na kanei e; nang a kalung among e. Nangma thangvah la ka sahthei hi thilkidang ahipoi.
My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.
8 Thou in kalung! Thou in, o jemjang le tumging! Ka vahchoila’n jingninou hi sukhang ing e.
Wake up, my glory. Wake up, psaltery and harp. I will wake up the dawn.
9 O Pakai mipi ho jouse lah’a na thangvah ing’e. Namtin vaipi jouse lah’a nangma na thangvah ing kate.
I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 Ajeh chu na mingailutna longlou hi vanho bang’in asang e. Na kitahna in meilomlah apha’n ahi.
For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.
11 Hung kichoi sang in O Pathen, van mun sangpen ho sang’in na min hi dopsang’in umjo hen. Na loupina in leiset chung pumpi hi salvah hen.
Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.
