La Bu 63

1 O Pathen nang bou ka Pathen na hi; ken lungil tah in nang kahol e. Kalhagao in nadangchah in; twi veilouna gotna mun gamgo ahin ka tahsa pumpin nang ka hin lhangai e.

A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah. God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

2 Na mun theng’a kon’in ka hin mun na loupina leh na thaneina chu ka hin mun ahi.

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

3 Na mi ngailutna longlou chu mihem hinkhoma ma sang a phajo ahi; nang ka hin thangvah chim theipoi.

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

4 Hinkho ka nei laisen nangma thangvah ing kating, nahenga taonan ka khut teni hin domsang ing kate.

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

5 An twipen ka neh sang’in nang’in neihin lunglhaisah jon. Kipah tah in nangma thangvahnan la sangnge.

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

6 Kalupna mun a limgeh chan nang kagel gel jin, janteng jongle nangma lungel ho kangaito ji e.

when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

7 Nangma eikithopi nahijeh in, na lhaving lim noi ah kipah tah in vahchoila ka san ahi.

For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

8 Na ban thahattah jet lang in det tah in neituh in ahileh keiman nang ka tuhchah in ahi.

My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

9 Keima eisumang goho chu hung mangthah diu ahi. Amaho chu leikotong athuhlai pena chu lhalut ding ahiuve.

But those who seek my soul to destroy it shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 Amaho chu chemjam a thidiu sialho anchah anchah a pang diu ahi.

They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.

11 Ahinla lengpa chu Pathen a kipah ding ahi. Koi hileh Ama tahsan chan chun athangvah ding, mijouho vang suhthip a umdiu ahi.

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
