Tingtoeng 84
1 Aka mawt ham Korah Koca rhoek kah Gittith Rhotoeng Tingtoenglung Caempuei BOEIPA namah kah tolhmuen tah, lungnah kap tloe pai o!
For the music director. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. On the gittith. How wonderful is the place where you live, Lord Almighty!
2 BOEIPA kah vongup te ka hinglu loh a ngaidam tih thana sut. Ka lungbuei neh ka pumsa loh aka hing Pathen te a tamhoe thil.
I long, I ache, to be in the courts of the Lord. My mind and my body sing for joy to the living God.
3 Ka manghai neh ka Pathen, caempuei BOEIPA mamah kah hmueihtuk taengah vaa long pataeng im a hmuh tih pumpil loh amah vapuel ham bu a khueh pah.
Even a sparrow finds a home there, and a swallow builds a nest for herself where she can raise her chicks near to your altars, Lord Almighty, my king and my God.
4 Nang im kah kho aka sa rhoek a yoethen pai tih, namah te rhawp n'thangthen uh. (Selah)
How happy are those who live in your house—they are always praising you! (Selah)
5 Nang dongah a sarhi aka khueh tih, a thinko ah longpuei aka khui hlang tah a yoethen.
How happy are those whose strength is in you, those who are determined to make a pilgrimage.
6 Baca kol ah aka pongpa loh tuisih a khueh tih, lobah yoethennah khaw a buem.
As they walk through the Valley of Tears it becomes a spring of water; autumn rains cover it with pools.
7 Tha dueng khui lamkah thadueng neh cet uh. Zion kah Pathen hmaiah phoe.
They go from strength to strength, and each one will appear before God in Jerusalem.
8 Ka thangthuinah he caempuei Pathen BOEIPA loh ya saeh lamtah, Jakob Pathen loh hnatun saeh. (Selah)
Lord God Almighty, please hear my prayer; please listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Pathen aw kaimih kah photling he hmu lamtah na koelh hlang kah maelhmai khaw paelki lah.
Please God, look at our defender, look at the face of your anointed one.
10 Na vongup khuikah hnin at he khohnin thawngkhat lakah then. Ka Pathen im kah thohka tawt he, halangnah dap kah om lakah ka ngaih.
One day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else. I'd rather stand as a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live comfortably in the homes of the wicked.
11 BOEIPA Pathen tah khomik neh photling la om. Mikdaithen neh thangpomnah he khaw BOEIPA loh a paek. Cuemthuek dongah aka pongpa taengah hnothen a hloh pah moenih.
For the Lord God is our sun and shield, and he gives us grace and honor. The Lord doesn't hold back anything good from those who do right.
12 Caempuei BOEIPA namah dongah, aka pangtung hlang tah a yoethen pai.
Lord Almighty, how happy are those who trust in you.
