Psalms 61

1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. God, please hear my cry for help; please listen to my prayer.

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

2 From this distant place, far from home, I cry out to you as my courage fails. Take me to a rock high above me where I will be safe,

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 are my protection, a strong tower where my enemies cannot attack me.

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

4 Let me live with you forever; protect me under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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

5 For you, God, have heard the promises I've made. You have given all those who love your character your special blessing.

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

6 Please give the king many extra years; may his reign last through generations.

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

7 May he always live in your presence; may your trustworthy love and faithfulness protect him.

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

8 Then I will always sing praises to you, and every day I will keep my promises to you.

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