Psalms 20

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Citcai hnin vaengah BOEIPA loh nang n'doo saeh lamtah, Jakob kah Pathen ming neh n'hoeptlang saeh.

2 May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

Nang aka bomkung te hmuencim lamkah han tueih saeh lamtah Zion lamkah nang n'duel saeh.

3 May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah)

Na khosaa boeih te han poek saeh lamtah na hmueihhlutnah te han doe saeh. (Selah)

4 May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

Namah thinko bangla nang taengah m'pae saeh lamtah na cilsuep boeih khaw han soep sak saeh.

5 We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

Nang kah khangnah dongah ka tamhoe uh vetih, mamih kah Pathen ming neh hnitai ka tai uh ni. Na huithuinah boeih te BOEIPA loh han soep sak saeh.

6 Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

Amah kah a koelh te BOEIPA loh a khang tih a bantang kah daemnah thayung thamal neh vaan hmuencim lamkah a doo tila ka ming.

7 Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

Leng dongkah rhoek neh marhang dongkah rhoek khaw om uh dae kaimih tah mamih BOEIPA Pathen ming ni ka thoel uh.

8 They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

Amih te kha uh tih cungku uh cakhaw mamih tah n'thoo uh tih n'rhalrhing uh.

9 Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.

Aw BOEIPA manghai ke han khang lamtah tihnin ah ka khue uh te khaw han doo saeh.
