< Psalms 63 >

1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Idumea. O God, my God, I cry to thee early; my soul has thirsted for thee: how often has my flesh [longed] after thee, in a barren and trackless and dry land!
Judah khosoek ah a om vaengkah David tingtoenglung Pathen namah tah ka Pathen ni. Namah ni kan toem coeng. Namah te ka hinglu loh halthi tih, ka pumsa loh namah te a hue, Diklai ah he rhamrhae neh buhmueh rhathih, tui mueh la om.
2 Thus have I appeared before thee in the sanctuary, that I might see thy power and thy glory.
Tedae na sarhi neh na thangpomnah hmuh ham hmuencim ah nang kan dan.
3 For thy mercy is better than life: my lips shall praise thee.
Na sitlohnah he hingnah lakah then tih ka hmuilai he nang taengah domyok ti uh saeh.
4 Thus will I bless thee during my life: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
Te dongah ka hingnah neh nang kan uem vetih, na ming neh ka kut ka thueng ni.
5 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness; and [my] joyful lips shall praise thy name.
A th a neh maehhloi bangla ka hinglu hah vetih ka ka loh omngaih laa kah hmuilai neh a thangthen ni.
6 Forasmuch as I have remembered thee on my bed: in the early seasons I have meditated on thee.
Ka rhaenghmuen lamkah loh nang kan poek vaengah nang te hlaempang pakhat puet kan mangtuk.
7 For thou hast been my helper, and in the shelter of thy wings will I rejoice.
Kai ham bomnah la na om dongah na phae hlip ah ka tamhoe.
8 My soul has kept very close behind thee: thy right hand has upheld me.
Nang dongah ka hinglu pangnal tih kai he na bantang kut loh n'duel.
9 But they vainly sought after my soul; they shall go into the lowest parts o the earth.
Amih loh ka hinglu pocinah ham a mae uh dae diklai hmui la kun uh bitni.
10 They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword; they shall be portions for foxes.
cunghang kut ah pat uh vetih maetang buham la om uh ni.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that swears by him shall be praised; for the mouth of them that speak unjust things has been stopped.
Tedae, manghai tah Pathen rhang neh a kohoe ni. Amah dongah ol aka caeng boeih te a thangthen vaengah laithae aka thui kah a ka te a biing pah ni.
