For the music director. To the tune “Lilies.” A psalm (maskil) of the sons of Korah. A love song. I am moved to write about this wonderful subject. Let me share what I have written for the king. What I say comes from the pen of a skilled author.
2 Namah tah hlang capa rhoek lakah na sawtthen pai. Na ka lamkah mikdaithen khaw a phuet dongah Pathen loh nang tekumhal duela yoethen m'paek.
You are more handsome than anyone else. You always speak graciously, for God has blessed you forever.
3 Na mueithennah hlangrhalh neh na rhuepomnah cunghang te na phai ah vah lah.
Strap on your sword, mighty warrior, stride out in glory and majesty!
4 Na rhuepomnah tah oltak, kodonah, duengnah olka dongah a thaihtak la ngol tih rhih om te khaw na bantang kut loh namah n'thuinuet saeh.
In your majesty ride out to victory, in the defense of truth, humility, and right, because you are strong and act powerfully.
5 Manghai kah thunkha rhoek lungbuei ah na thaltang loh haat tih pilnam loh na kho hmuiah cungku uh saeh.
Your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of your enemies; the nations fall under you.
6 Pathen namah kah ngolkhoel tah kumhal ah cak yoeyah. Na ram kah mancai khaw tlangtlae mancai la om.
Your throne comes from God, and lasts forever and ever. The scepter with which you rule is a scepter of fairness.
7 Duengnah te na lungnah tih halangnah te na hmuhuet. Te dongah nang kah Pathen la ka om, Pathen loh na pueipo rhoek lakah omngaihnah situi neh nang n'koelh coeng.
You love what is right and hate what is wrong. That is why God, your God, has placed you above everyone else by anointing you with the oil of joy.
8 Vueino lumim kah na suibai boeih te murrah, thingul, yungum bo la rhim tih. Rhongtoeng rhui loh na ko han hoe sak.
Your robes are perfumed with aloes, myrrh, and cassia; music played on stringed instruments in palaces decorated with ivory makes you happy.

The daughters of kings are among the noblewomen; the queen stands beside you on your right, wearing jewelry made of gold from Ophir.
10 Tanu takhong loh ya lamtah hmu lah. Na hna khaw kaeng lamtah na pilnam neh na pa im te hnilh laeh.
Listen to what I have to say, daughter; please pay attention. Don't pine for your people and your family.

What a happy, joyful procession enters the king's palace!
16 Na pa rhoek yuengla na ca rhoek om uh vetih amih te diklai pum kah mangpa rhoek la na khueh ni.
Your sons will take the place of your fathers; as princes you will make them rulers throughout the land.

Through my words you will be famous through all generations, and nations will praise you forever and ever.
