La Bu 61

1 O Elohim Pathen ka kana neingaipeh in! Ka taona hi ngai in!

“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 Lungsung lunghemnan eilonkhum teng leiset kol kimvel a kon'in panpi ngaichan ka hin kou e. Hoidoh na songpi sang chung'ah neipuitou in,

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 ajeh chu nangma hi ka kiselna mun olna pen chu na hi, ka melmate'n ahin phahjoulouna kulpi chu nangma na hi.

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

4 Na mun theng'a tonsot'in neichensah in hilai chu na lha limnoi kiselna chu ahi.

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

5 O Elohim Pathen ka kitepna chu nei jahpehtai, nangma gingte chan dia na gonpeh na goulona mun chu neipeh ahitai.

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

6 Lengpa hinkho hi kum tamtah pehben! Khangkit geiin jong hinghoi in!

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

7 Elohim Pathen hoidam na achun vai hom jing hen. Na mi ngailutna longlou le na kitahna chun kaihoi jing hen.

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

8 Hiteng chuleh nitina ka kitepna suh bulhit ingkating tonsot'in na min thangvah jing tang e.

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