For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace and hear my prayer.
2 Aw kaminawk, ka lensawkhaih hae nasetto maw azat nang paw o sak han vop? Nasetto maw avang ai hmuen to na palung o moe, lok amlaihaih na pakrong o han vop? (Selah)
How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
3 Toe Sithaw panoek kami loe Sithaw mah Angmah hanah pahoe boeh, tiah panoek oh: anih to ka kawk naah Angraeng mah na pathim tih.
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
4 Tasoeh takuenhaih hoi om oh loe, zaehaih sah o hmah: iihkhun nuiah nang song naah, anghngai o duem ah loe, palung hoiah khopoek oh. (Selah)
Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
5 Katoeng hmuenpaekhaih to sah oh loe, Angraeng to oep oh.
Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
6 Mi mah maw aicae han kahoih hmuen patuek tih? tiah thui kami paroeai oh. Angraeng, na mikhmai aanghaih to kaicae nuiah amtuengsak ah.
Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
7 Cang to hak o moe, misurthaih hak o nathuem ih nihcae anghoehaih pongah doeh, ka palung thungah anghoehaih pop kue ah nang suek pae.
You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
8 Kai loe monghaih hoiah kang song moe, ka iih han boeh: Angraeng, nang mah khue ni, ngan nang cuemsak.
I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
