“A psalm of David, when he feigned himself mad before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.” I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 Ka hinghaih mah Angraeng to amoek haih tih: poeknaem kaminawk mah thaih o nasoe loe, anghoe o nasoe.
In the LORD doth my soul boast; Let the afflicted hear, and rejoice!
3 Angraeng to na pakoeh o haih ah, anih ih ahmin nawnto pakoeh o si.
O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt his name together!
4 Angraeng khaeah ka hnik naah, anih mah ang pathim; ka zithaihnawk boih thung hoiah ang pahlong.
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
5 Anih khen kaminawk loe aanghaih to hnuk o: nihcae mikhmai ah azathaih om ai.
Look up to him, and ye shall have light; Your faces shall never be ashamed.
6 Angraeng mah amtang kami kawkhaih lok to thaih pae moe, raihaihnawk boih thung hoiah anih to pahlong.
This afflicted man cried, and the LORD heard, And saved him from all his troubles.
7 Anih zithaih tawn kaminawk loe Angraeng ih vankaminawk mah takui khoep moe, nihcae to pahlong.
The angels of the LORD encamp around those who fear him, And deliver them.
8 Angraeng hoihhaih to pataeng oh loe, khen o tanoek ah: anih khae amha kami loe tahamhoih.
O taste, and see how good is the LORD! Happy the man who trusteth in him!
9 Nangcae anih ih kaciim kaminawk, Angraeng to zii oh: anih zii kami loe amtanghaih om mak ai.
O fear the LORD, ye his servants! For to those who fear him there shall be no want.
10 Saning nawk kaipuinawk loe thazai o sut moe, zok amthlam o; toe Angraeng pakrong kaminawk loe kahoih hmuen angaihaih om mak ai.
Young lions want, and suffer hunger; But they who fear the LORD want no good thing.
11 Nangcae nawktanawk, angzo oh, ka lok hae tahngai oh: Angraeng zithaih loklam kang patuk o han.
Come, ye children, hearken to me! I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Kahoih hmuen to hnuk moe, hinglung sawk na koeh maw?
Who is he that loveth life, And desireth many days, in which he may see good?
13 Loksae thuih han ai ah, na palai to angsumh loe, lok amlai han ai ah, na pahni to angsum ah.
Guard well thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile!
14 Kasae hmuen to caeh taak ah loe, kahoih hmuen to sah ah; angdaehhaih to pakrongh loe patom ah.
Depart from evil, and do good; Seek peace, and pursue it!
15 Angraeng ih mik loe katoeng kaminawk nuiah oh moe, nihcae hanghaih lok to tahngaih pae.
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, And his ears are open to their cry.
16 Sethaih sah kaminawk loe a oh o haih long hoiah pahnet ving han khoek to tamit bit hanah, Angraeng mah mikhmai angqoi taak.
But the face of the LORD is against evil-doers, To cut off their remembrance from the earth.
17 Katoeng kaminawk loe hangh o naah, Angraeng mah thaih pae moe, nihcae to raihaihnawk boih thung hoiah pahlong.
The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, And delivereth them from all their troubles.
18 Angraeng loe poek amro kaminawk khaeah anghnaih moe, dawnpakhuemhaih palungthin tawn kaminawk to pahlong.
The LORD is near to them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
19 Katoeng kami loe raihaih paroeai tong langlacadoeh, to baktih hmuennawk boih thung hoiah Angraeng mah anih to pahlong.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But the LORD delivereth him from them all.
20 Anih ih ahuhnawk to pakuem pae boih pongah, maeto doeh angkhaek ai.
He guardeth all his bones; Not one of them shall be broken.
21 Toe sethaih sah kami mah kahoih ai kami to hum ueloe, katoeng kami hnuma kaminawk loe lokcaekhaih tong o tih.
Calamity destroyeth the wicked, And they who hate the righteous suffer for it.
22 Angraeng mah a tamnanawk to pahlong: angmah khaeah abuep kaminawk loe lokcaekhaih hnu o mak ai.
The LORD redeemeth the life of his servants, And none that put their trust in him will suffer for it.
