La Bu 63

1 O Elohim Pathen nang bou ka Pathen na hi; ken lungil tah in nang kahol e. Kalhagao in nadangchah in; twi veilouna mun gotna gamgo ahin ka tahsa pumpin nang ka hin lhangai e.

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 Na mun theng'a kon'in ka hin mun na loupina leh na thaneina chu ka hin mun ahi.

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

3 Na mi ngailutna longlou chu mihem hinkhoma ma sang a phajo ahi; nang ka hin thangvah chim theipoi.

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

4 Hinkho ka nei laisen nangma thangvah ing kating, nahenga taonan ka khut teni hin domsang ing kate.

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

5 An twipen ka neh sang'in nang'in neihin lunglhaisah jon. Kipah tah in nangma thangvahnan la sangnge.

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

6 Kalupna mun a limgeh chan nang kagel gel jin, janteng jongle nangma lungel ho kangaito ji e.

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

7 Nangma eikithopi nahijeh in, na lhaving lim noi ah kipah tah in vahchoila ka san ahi.

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

8 Na ban thahat tah jet lang in det tah in neituh in ahileh keiman nang ka tuhchah in ahi.

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

9 Keima eisumang goho chu hung mangthah diu ahi. Amaho chu leikotong athuhlai pena chu lhalut ding ahiuve.

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

10 Amaho chu chemjam a thidiu sial ho anchah a pang diu ahi.

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

11 Ahinla lengpa chu Elohim Pathen a kipah ding ahi. Koi hileh Ama tahsan chan chun athangvah ding, mijouho vang suhthip a umdiu ahi.

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