Sam 20

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

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

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

May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

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

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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.

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

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.

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

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 some in horses: but we will call upon 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 are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

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

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
