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 Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear my cry, God. Listen 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 end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

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

I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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

For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

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

You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

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

He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.
