Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Neginah ah sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, ka qahhaih lok hae tahngai ah loe, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah.

2 From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Palungthin thazok naah, long boenghaih hoiah nang to kang kawk; kai pongah kasang kue lungsong khaeah na caeh haih ah.

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

Nang loe ka buephaih ah na oh moe, ka misanawk hmaa ah sipae kacak ah na oh.

4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

Nang ih kahni im ah dungzan khoek to ka oh han; na pakhraeh tahlip ah ka buep han. (Selah)

5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

Aw Sithaw, ka sak ih lokkamhaih nang thaih pae boeh; na hmin zii kaminawk ih qawk to nang paek boeh.

6 You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

Siangpahrang to hinglung sawksak ah loe, boeng thai ai ah dungzan khoek to caksak poe ah.

7 He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Anih loe Sithaw hmaa ah dungzan khoek to om nasoe loe, tahmenhaih hoi loktang lok mah, anih to ohhaih poe nasoe.

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.

To naah na hmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak poe moe, lok ka maihaih to ni thokkruek ka sak han.
