Psalms 61

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

[Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah] Pathen aw ka tamlung he ya lamtah ka thangthuinah he hnatung lah.

2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Nang te Diklai a bawt lamkah kan khue. Ka lungbuei a rhae vaengah kamah lakah aka sang lungpang taengla kai nan mawt.

3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

Kai ham tah hlipyingnah neh thunkha hmai ah sarhi rhaltoengim la na om.

4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

Na dap khuiah kumhal ka bakuep vetih na phae hlip ah ka ying ni. (Selah)

5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

Pathen namah loh ka olcaeng te na yaak dongah na ming aka rhih tah rho na paek.

6 Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

Manghai kah a tue khohnin te puh sak lamtah a kum khaw cadilcahma duela nguel sak.

7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

Sitlohnah Pathen hmai ah kumhal khosa saeh lamtah a khueh oltak loh anih te kueinah saeh.

8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.

Khohnin, khohnin ah ka olcaeng te thuung ham na ming ka tingtoeng yoeyah.
