Sam 20

1 Kathutkung: Devit Runae hnin dawk BAWIPA ni na pato naseh. Jakop Cathut min lahoi na roum sak naseh.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.

2 Hmuen kathoung koehoi kabawpnae teh tâcawt sak naseh. Zion hoi tha awm sak naseh.

May He send you help from the sanctuary and sustain you from Zion.

3 Na thuengnae pueng na thai pouh naseh. Hmaisawi thuengnae hai dâw naseh.

May He remember all your gifts and look favorably on your burnt offerings.

4 Na ngainae patetlah na poe naseh, na pouknae patetlah kuep sak naseh.

May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed.

5 Na rungngangnae dawk ka konawm awh vaiteh, Cathut min lahoi lukkarei a yap awh han. BAWIPA ni na hei e pueng kuep sak lawiseh.

May we shout for joy at your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your petitions.

6 BAWIPA ni satui awi e a rungngang tie atuvah panue awh toe. Kathounge kalvan hoi a rungngangnae aranglae kut, athakaawme hoi na pato han.

Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He answers him from His holy heaven with the saving power of His right hand.

7 Atangawn ni leng a kâuep awh teh, atangawn ni marang a kâuep awh. Hatei, kaimouh teh, BAWIPA Cathut min hah pou ka kâuep awh han.

Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

8 Ahnimouh teh tabut hoi a rawp awh. Hatei, kaimouh teh ka thaw awh teh, kalancalah ka kangdue awh.

They collapse and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.

9 BAWIPA rungngang haw. Ka kaw toteh siangpahrang ni na pato naseh.

O LORD, save the king. Answer us on the day we call.
