Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer.

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Neginah ah sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, ka qahhaih lok hae tahngai ah loe, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah.

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Palungthin thazok naah, long boenghaih hoiah nang to kang kawk; kai pongah kasang kue lungsong khaeah na caeh haih ah.

3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

Nang loe ka buephaih ah na oh moe, ka misanawk hmaa ah sipae kacak ah na oh.

4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

Nang ih kahni im ah dungzan khoek to ka oh han; na pakhraeh tahlip ah ka buep han. (Selah)

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Aw Sithaw, ka sak ih lokkamhaih nang thaih pae boeh; na hmin zii kaminawk ih qawk to nang paek boeh.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life; His years shall be as many generations.

Siangpahrang to hinglung sawksak ah loe, boeng thai ai ah dungzan khoek to caksak poe ah.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: Oh prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Anih loe Sithaw hmaa ah dungzan khoek to om nasoe loe, tahmenhaih hoi loktang lok mah, anih to ohhaih poe nasoe.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, That I may daily perform my vows.

To naah na hmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak poe moe, lok ka maihaih to ni thokkruek ka sak han.
