Psalms 61

1 To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s. Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:

Kathutkung: Devit, La kahrawikung hanlah, rui thueng e tumkhawng hoi ni sak e la Oe Cathut, ka hramnae lawk heh na thai pouh haw. Ka ratoumnae heh na thai pouh haw.

2 From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead me.

Ka lung tha a tawn teh, talai poutnae koehoi nang koe ka hram. Kai hlak ka rasang e lungsong koe na hrawi haw.

3 For thou hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh kai hanlah kânguenae lah na o teh, tarannaw hmalah kacakpounge imrasang lah na o.

4 I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. (Selah)

Na rim dawk pou ka o han. Na rathei hoi na ramuknae koe ka kângue han.

5 For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

Bangkongtetpawiteh Oe Cathut, ka lawkkam hah na thai pouh haw. Na min kabarinaw e râw hah kai na poe.

6 Days—unto the days of the king, wilt thou add. His years, as of generation after generation:

Siangpahrang, hringyung na saw sak teh, a kum hai se moikasaw kangning naseh.

7 Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!

Cathut hmalah a yungyoe a kangning han. Oe ahni roum sak nahanlah, lungmanae hoi lawkkatang hah rakueng pouh haw.

8 So, will I sing thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows, day by day.

Ka lawkkam hah hnintangkuem ka kuep sak nahan a yungyoe a min pholen hoi la ka sak han.
