Psalms 61

1 God, listen to me, and answer my prayer [DOU]!

O Elohim Pathen ka kana neingaipeh in! Ka taona hi ngai in!

2 While I am discouraged and far from my home, I am calling out to you. Lead me to [the place that is like] a high rock [MET] on top of which I will be safe.

Lungsung lunghemnan eilonkhum teng leiset kol kimvel a kon'in panpi ngaichan ka hin kou e. Hoidoh na songpi sang chung'ah neipuitou in,

3 You have been my refuge; you have been [like] a strong tower [MET] [in which I am safe] from being attacked by my enemies.

ajeh chu nangma hi ka kiselna mun olna pen chu na hi, ka melmate'n ahin phahjoulouna kulpi chu nangma na hi.

4 Allow me to live close to your temple all during my life [HYP]! Allow me to be safe [MET], [like a little bird is safe] under [its mother’s] wings.

Na mun theng'a tonsot'in neichensah in hilai chu na lha limnoi kiselna chu ahi.

5 God, you heard me when I solemnly promised [to give offerings to you]; you have given to me the blessings that belong to those who have an awesome respect for you [MTY].

O Elohim Pathen ka kitepna chu nei jahpehtai, nangma gingte chan dia na gonpeh na goulona mun chu neipeh ahitai.

6 [I am] the king [of Israel]; [please] allow me to live [and rule] for many years, and allow my descendants to rule [also].

Lengpa hinkho hi kum tamtah pehben! Khangkit geiin jong hinghoi in!

7 Allow us to rule forever while you observe us; watch over us while you faithfully love us and do for us what you promised.

Elohim Pathen hoidam na achun vai hom jing hen. Na mi ngailutna longlou le na kitahna chun kaihoi jing hen.

8 If you do that, I will always sing to praise you [MTY] while I offer to you each day the sacrifices that I promised to give to you.

Hiteng chuleh nitina ka kitepna suh bulhit ingkating tonsot'in na min thangvah jing tang e.
