For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. God of my praise, don’t remain silent,
2 kasae kaminawk hoi aling thaih kaminawk mah kai han pakha ang angh o thuih, nihcae loe kai khaeah amsawnlok thuih o.
for they have opened the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of deceit against me. They have spoken to me with a lying tongue.
3 Hnukmahaih loknawk hoiah kai ang takui o; takung om ai ah kai ang tuk o.
They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
4 Kai ih amlunghaih to misa ah a poek o lat; toe kai loe lawkthuihaih hoiah ni ka oh.
In return for my love, they are my adversaries; but I am in prayer.
5 Nihcae mah kahoih hmuen to kasae hoiah ang pathok o moe, kai ih amlunghaih to a hnukma o.
They have rewarded 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 a wicked man over him. Let an adversary 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 come out guilty. Let his prayer be turned into sin.
8 A hinghaih aninawk tamsi pae nasoe loe, minawk kalah mah anih angdoethaih ahmuen to la pae ving nasoe.
Let his days be few. Let another take his office.
9 Anih ih caanawk loe ampa tawn ai ah om o nasoe loe, a zu loe lamhmai ah om nasoe.
Let his children be 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 be wandering beggars. Let them be sought from 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 seize all that he has. Let strangers plunder the fruit of his labour.
12 Mi mah doeh anih nuiah tahmenhaih tawn hmah nasoe; ampa tawn ai nawktanawk doeh tahmen o hmah nasoe.
Let there be no one to extend kindness to him, neither let there be anyone to have pity on 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 cut off. In the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Ampanawk sakpazaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah amtueng poe nasoe; amno zaehaih to anghma pae hmah nasoe.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Nihcae panoekhaih long hoiah tahmat pae ving hanah, nihcae zaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah om poe nasoe.
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off their memory from the earth;
16 Anih loe palungnathaih amtuengsak hanah poek ai, amtang kaminawk to pacaekthlaek moe, palungboeng kaminawk doeh a hum.
because he didn’t remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.
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.
Yes, he loved cursing, and it came to him. He didn’t delight in blessing, and it was far from him.
18 Anih mah loksae to kahni baktiah angkhuk pongah, a zok thungah tui baktih, ahuhnawk thungah situi baktiah akun pae nasoe.
He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.
19 Angmah angkhuk ih kahni baktih, kaengah angzaeng poe ih kazii baktiah, a nuiah om pae nasoe.
Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.
20 Kai kasaethui kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah hae hae tangqum ah paek nasoe.
This is the reward of my adversaries from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my soul.
21 Toe, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na hmin hoiah na sah paeh; na palungnathaih loe hoih pongah, na pahlong ah.
But deal with me, GOD the Lord, for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;
22 Kai loe kam tang, ka tak thung ih palung loe ahma caak boeh.
for I am poor and needy. My heart is wounded within me.
23 Kai loe duembang ih tahlip baktiah ka zaem tathuk boeh; pakhuh baktiah ahnuk ahma kang thuih.
I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.
24 Buhzah pongah ka khokkhunawk hae cak ai boeh; ka taksa doeh zaek keng boeh.
My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.
25 Minawk kasaethuih han ih ni ka oh boeh moe, nihcae mah kai ang khet o naah lu ang haek o thuih.
I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.
26 Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, na bom ah; na palungnathaih hoiah na pahlong ah,
Help me, LORD, my God. Save me according to your loving kindness;
27 hae loe na ban ni; Angraeng, nang mah ni na sak, tiah panoek o nasoe.
that they may know that this is your hand; that you, LORD, have 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, but you bless. When they arise, they will be shamed, but your 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.
Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonour. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
30 Ka pakha hoiah Angraeng to ka pakoeh parai boeh; ue, pop parai salakah anih to ka pakoeh han.
I will give great thanks to the LORD with my mouth. Yes, I will praise him amongst the multitude.
31 Zaehaih net kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah amtang kaminawk ih hinghaih pahlong hanah, anih loe amtang kaminawk ih bantang bangah angdoet.
For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.
