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 leader. On stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, be attentive 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 I call unto you, when my heart is faint: lead me to the rock that is high above me.

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

For you are a refuge to me, a strong tower in face of the foe.

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

O to be guest in your tent forever, hiding beneath your sheltering wings! (Selah)

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

For you, O God, do hear my vows, and grant the desires of those who fear you.

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

Add many days to the life of the king; may his years endure throughout all generations.

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

In the presence of God be he throned forever; may kindness and faithfulness watch over him.

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

And I will sing praise to your name forever, paying my vows day after day.
