1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Ka pakoeh ih, Aw Sithaw, angam duem hmah;
To the Chief Musician. David’s. A Melody. O God of my praise, do not be silent;
2 kasae kaminawk hoi aling thaih kaminawk mah kai han pakha ang angh o thuih, nihcae loe kai khaeah amsawnlok thuih o.
For, the mouth of the lawless one and the mouth of the deceiver, against me, are open, They have spoken to me with false tongue;
3 Hnukmahaih loknawk hoiah kai ang takui o; takung om ai ah kai ang tuk o.
And, with words of hatred, have they surrounded me, and have made war upon me without cause:
4 Kai ih amlunghaih to misa ah a poek o lat; toe kai loe lawkthuihaih hoiah ni ka oh.
For my love, they have been accusing me, while, I, was at prayer:
5 Nihcae mah kahoih hmuen to kasae hoiah ang pathok o moe, kai ih amlunghaih to a hnukma o.
Yea they have returned unto me—Evil for good; and, Hatred for my love.
6 To baktih kami nuiah kasae kami to suem pae ah, Setan loe a bantang bangah angdoe pae nasoe.
Set in charge over him, one who is lawless, and let, an accuser, stand at his right hand;
7 Anih loe lokcaek naah sung nasoe loe, lawk a thuihaih to zaehaih ah angcoeng pae nasoe.
When he is judged, let him go out condemned, and let, his own petition, become a sin;
8 A hinghaih aninawk tamsi pae nasoe loe, minawk kalah mah anih angdoethaih ahmuen to la pae ving nasoe.
Let his days become few, his overseership, let another take;
9 Anih ih caanawk loe ampa tawn ai ah om o nasoe loe, a zu loe lamhmai ah om nasoe.
Let his children become fatherless, and his wife a widow;
10 A caanawk loe ahmuen kruekah amhet hoiah ban patueng o nasoe; kamro a oh o haih im hoiah tacawt o nasoe loe, caaknaek to pakrong o nasoe.
Let his children, wander about, and beg, Let them be driven out of their ruins;
11 A tawnh ih hmuennawk to hmuenmae coi han paek kami mah la pae boih nasoe; a toksakhaih atho doeh minawk kalah mah lomh pae ving nasoe.
Let the creditor take aim at all that he hath, and let strangers prey on the fruit of his toil;
12 Mi mah doeh anih nuiah tahmenhaih tawn hmah nasoe; ampa tawn ai nawktanawk doeh tahmen o hmah nasoe.
Let him have no one to continue lovingkindness, and there be none to favour his fatherless children;
13 Anih ih caanawk loe anghma angtaa o nasoe; angzo han koi adungah doeh nihcae ih ahmin to phrae o boih nasoe.
Let his posterity be for cutting off, In another generation, let their name be wiped out;
14 Ampanawk sakpazaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah amtueng poe nasoe; amno zaehaih to anghma pae hmah nasoe.
Remembered be the iniquity of his fathers against Yahweh, and, the sin of his mother, let it not be wiped out;
15 Nihcae panoekhaih long hoiah tahmat pae ving hanah, nihcae zaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah om poe nasoe.
Let them be before Yahweh continually, and let the memory of them, be cut off out of the earth.
16 Anih loe palungnathaih amtuengsak hanah poek ai, amtang kaminawk to pacaekthlaek moe, palungboeng kaminawk doeh a hum.
Because that he remembered not to show lovingkindness, but pursued the man that was oppressed and needy, that, the downhearted, he might slay.
17 Anih loe tangoenghaih to palung pongah, tangoenghaih to anih nuiah krah nasoe; tahamhoihaih koeh ai pongah, tahamhoihaih loe anih khae hoi kangthla ah om nasoe.
Because he loved cursing, May it have come upon him, Because he delighted not in blessing, May it have kept far from him;
18 Anih mah loksae to kahni baktiah angkhuk pongah, a zok thungah tui baktih, ahuhnawk thungah situi baktiah akun pae nasoe.
Because he clothed himself in cursing as his outer garment, therefore may it have entered like water into his inward part, and like oil into his bones;
19 Angmah angkhuk ih kahni baktih, kaengah angzaeng poe ih kazii baktiah, a nuiah om pae nasoe.
Be it his, as a garment he shall wrap round him, and for a girdle he shall, at all times, gird on:
20 Kai kasaethui kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah hae hae tangqum ah paek nasoe.
This, be the reward of mine accusers, from Yahweh, even of them who are speaking wrongfully against my life.
21 Toe, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na hmin hoiah na sah paeh; na palungnathaih loe hoih pongah, na pahlong ah.
But, thou, Yahweh, Adonay, deal effectually with me, for the sake of thy Name, Since good is thy lovingkindness, O rescue me;
22 Kai loe kam tang, ka tak thung ih palung loe ahma caak boeh.
For, oppressed and needy, I am, and, my heart, is wounded within me.
23 Kai loe duembang ih tahlip baktiah ka zaem tathuk boeh; pakhuh baktiah ahnuk ahma kang thuih.
As a shadow when it stretcheth out, I am gone, I am shaken off like the locust;
24 Buhzah pongah ka khokkhunawk hae cak ai boeh; ka taksa doeh zaek keng boeh.
My knees, tremble from fasting, and, my flesh, faileth of fatness:
25 Minawk kasaethuih han ih ni ka oh boeh moe, nihcae mah kai ang khet o naah lu ang haek o thuih.
So, I, am become a reproach for them, They see me, they shake their head.
26 Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, na bom ah; na palungnathaih hoiah na pahlong ah,
Help me! O Yahweh my God, Save me, according to thy lovingkindness:
27 hae loe na ban ni; Angraeng, nang mah ni na sak, tiah panoek o nasoe.
That they may know that, Thine own hand, this is, Thou, Yahweh, hast done it.
28 Nihcae loe tangoeng o, toe nang loe tahamhoihaih paek ah; nihcae angthawk o naah, azat o nasoe; toe na tamna loe anghoe nasoe.
They, may curse if, thou, wilt bless, —Mine assailants, shall be ashamed, but, thy servant, shall rejoice;
29 Ka misanawk loe azathaih to kahni baktiah angkhuk o nasoe, kahni hoi khuk ih baktiah, mikhmai sethaih to angkhuk o nasoe.
Mine accusers shall be clothed with confusion, and shall wrap about them, like a cloak, their own shame.
30 Ka pakha hoiah Angraeng to ka pakoeh parai boeh; ue, pop parai salakah anih to ka pakoeh han.
I will thank Yahweh loudly with my mouth, Yea, in the midst of multitudes, will I praise him;
31 Zaehaih net kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah amtang kaminawk ih hinghaih pahlong hanah, anih loe amtang kaminawk ih bantang bangah angdoet.
Because he standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save, from them who would pass sentence on his life.
