La Bu 57
1 Neilungset in O Elohim Pathen, nei khoton! Neivenbit jingna ding'in nang malam ka hin sang'e. Hahsatna ho abeito kahsen na lhaving lim noi a ka kisel jing ding ahi.
“For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.” Have pity upon me, O God! have pity upon me, For in thee doth my soul seek refuge! Yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take shelter, Until these calamities be overpast!
2 Ka chung'a athilgon eisuhbulhing pehna ding'in Elohim Pathen hat chungnung chu ka kouve.
I call upon God the Most High, Upon God, who performeth all things for me;
3 Aman eihuhdoh ding chuleh eidel lele ho jumsahna ding'a van'a kon'a panpina eihinpeh ding ahi. Elohim ka Pathen'in angailutna longlou leh akitahna a chu eihung vil ding ahi.
He will send from heaven, and save me; He will put to shame him that panteth for my life; (Pause) God will send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 Keipi bahkai hangtah hon mihem te a anchah dia achanlhih le banin galmite'n eiumkimvel'uvin, aha uhin tengcha leh thalchang bangin asunvangthei in, alei'u jong chemjam hemset tobang in asat tan thei uve.
My life is in the midst of lions; I dwell among them that breathe out fire; Among men whose teeth are spears and arrows, And whose tongue is a sharp sword.
5 O Elohim Pathen nangma hi vanmun jouse chungvum sang'in hung kichoisang'in! Na loupina hin leiset chung mun jouse hi salvah hen!
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
6 Ka galmite'n thang eikampeh uvin, keima lung gim leh lunglengvai in kaum'e. Amahon ka lampi'a kotong thuhtah alai un ahinlah amaho ma alhalut jiuvin ahi.
They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have digged a pit before me, But into it they have themselves fallen.
7 O Elohim Pathen nang a lungmon na kanei e; nang a kalung among e. Nangma thangvah la ka sahthei hi thil kidang ahipoi.
My heart is strengthened, O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing, and give thanks.
8 Thou in kalung! Thou in, o Semjang le tumging! Ka vahchoila'n jingninou hi thoudoh ing e.
Awake, my soul! awake, psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
9 O Yahweh Pakai mipi ho jouse lah'a na thangvah ing'e. Namtin vaipi jouse lah'a nangma na thangvah ing kate.
I will praise thee, O Lord! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the kingdoms!
10 Ajeh chu na mingailutna longlou hi vanho bang'in asang e. Na kitahna in meilomlah apha'n ahi.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth to the clouds!
11 Hung kichoi sang in O Elohim Pathen, van mun sangpen ho sang'in na min hi dopsang'in umjo hen. Na loupina in leiset chung pumpi hi salvah hen.
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
