Sam 61

1 Kathutkung: Devit, La kahrawikung hanlah, rui thueng e tumkhawng hoi ni sak e la Oe Cathut, ka hramnae lawk heh na thai pouh haw. Ka ratoumnae heh na thai pouh haw.

For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, hearken to my petition; attend to my prayer.

2 Ka lung tha a tawn teh, talai poutnae koehoi nang koe ka hram. Kai hlak ka rasang e lungsong koe na hrawi haw.

From the ends of the earth have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock thou didst guide me:

3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh kai hanlah kânguenae lah na o teh, tarannaw hmalah kacakpounge imrasang lah na o.

because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

4 Na rim dawk pou ka o han. Na rathei hoi na ramuknae koe ka kângue han.

I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. (Pause)

5 Bangkongtetpawiteh Oe Cathut, ka lawkkam hah na thai pouh haw. Na min kabarinaw e râw hah kai na poe.

For thou, o God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

6 Siangpahrang, hringyung na saw sak teh, a kum hai se moikasaw kangning naseh.

Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; [thou shalt lengthen] his years to all generations.

7 Cathut hmalah a yungyoe a kangning han. Oe ahni roum sak nahanlah, lungmanae hoi lawkkatang hah rakueng pouh haw.

He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

8 Ka lawkkam hah hnintangkuem ka kuep sak nahan a yungyoe a min pholen hoi la ka sak han.

So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
