Sam 63

1 Kathutkung: Devit, Judah kahrawngum ao navah a sak e la Oe Cathut, nang teh ka Cathut doeh. Amom vah na tawng han. Ka hringnae ni nang na kahran. Ka takthai ni nang na rabui. Kenae hoi tui kahrannae, tui ohoehnae ram dawk kaawm e lah ka o.

A psalm of David, when he was in the Judean desert. God, you are my God, I eagerly look for you. I am thirsty for you; all that I am longs for you in this dry, weary, waterless land.

2 Na bawilennae hmu hanlah, hmuen kathoung thung na tawng toe.

I see you in the Temple; I watch your power and glory.

3 Na pahrennae teh hringnae hlak hai a hawihnawn dawkvah, ka pahni hoi ka pholen han.

Your trustworthy love is better than life itself; I will praise you.

4 Hot patetlah ka hringyung thung na pholen han. Na min lahoi ka kut ka dâw han.

I will thank you as long as I live; I lift up my hands as I celebrate your wonderful character.

5 Ka hringnae heh rakhing hoi a thaw kaboum lah ca e patetlah a lungkuep han. Hateh, konawm pahni hoi na pholen han.

You satisfy me more than the richest food; I will praise you with joyful songs.

6 Ka ikhun dawk hoi ka pouk navah, karumsaning totouh ouk ka pouk.

I think of you all night long as I lie on my bed meditating about you.

7 Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh na kabawmkung doeh. Hatdawkvah, na rathei rahim vah ka konawm han.

For you are the one who helps me; I sing happily from under your wings.

8 Ka hringnae ni kahnaicalah na hruiyun teh, nama e aranglae kut hoi na kuet.

I hold on to you; your strong arms lift me up.

9 Hatei, ka hringnae thei hanlah katawngnaw teh, adungpoungnae koe talai thung vah a cei awh han.

Those who are trying to destroy me will go down into the grave.

10 Tahloi hoi dout awh vaiteh, Asuinaw ni ca hanelah, ao han.

They will be killed by the sword; they will become food for jackals.

11 Hatei, siangpahrang teh Cathut dawk konawm vaiteh, Cathut noe laihoi thoekâbo e pueng ni, a pholen awh han. Hatei laithoe kadeinaw e pahninaw teh, tabuem lah ao awh han.

But the king will be happy for what God has done. All who follow God will praise him, but those who tell lies will be silenced.
