La Bu 61

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

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

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

From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

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

Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

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

For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

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

Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

7 Pathen hoidam na achun vaihom jing hen. Na mi ngailutna longlou le na kitahna chun kaihoi jing hen.

May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

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

Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
