1 Daid ih Shiggaion laa; Benjamin acaeng Kush ih lokthuihaih to anih mah Angraeng khaeah laa ah sak. Angraeng ka Sithaw, nang khaeah ka buep: kai pacaekthlaek kaminawk boih ban thung hoiah na pahlong ah loe, na loisak ah.
'The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
2 To tih ai nahaeloe misa mah kaipui baktiah ka hinghaih to asik pet tih boeh.
Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.
3 Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, hae hmuen ka sak pongah, ka ban ah zaehaih to oh moeng moe,
O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
4 kai hoi angdaeh kami khaeah ka sae hmuen to ka sak, ue, takung tidoeh om ai ah, ka misa ih hmuen to ka lomh pae moeng nahaeloe;
If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,
5 ka misa mah ka hinghaih to la nasoe loe, pacaekthlaek nasoe; ue, ka hinghaih long ah atii nasoe loe, kai pakoehhaih to maiphu ah suem nasoe. (Selah)
An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. (Selah)
6 Aw Angraeng, palungphuihaih hoiah angthawk ah loe, ka misanawk palungphuihaih to pakaa ah: kai han angthawk ah loe, na thuih ih lok baktih toengah lok to takroek ah.
Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:
7 Kaminawk loe amkhueng o moe, nang ang ven o; nihcae han hmuensang ah amlaem let ah.
And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,
8 Angraeng mah kaminawk to lokcaek tih: aw Angraeng, ka toenghaih hoi kai thungah kaom akoephaih baktih toengah, nang mah lokcaek ah.
Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,
9 Kami poekhaih khenkung, poeksae kami sethaih to boengsak ah loe, katoeng kami to caksak ah: aw katoeng Sithaw, nang loe palungthin ni na khet.
Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
10 Poek toeng kaminawk pahlongkung Sithaw loe, kang vaenghaih ah oh.
My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!
11 Sithaw loe lokcaekkung katoeng ah oh, poeksae kami nuiah loe ni thokkruek palungphuihaih to amtuengsak.
God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.
12 Anih amlaem let ai nahaeloe, angmah ih sumsen to taak tih; angmah ih kalii to takoih ueloe, suem coek tih.
If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden — He prepareth it,
13 Anih hanah duekhaih hmuennawk to paroep pae moe, pacaekthlaek kaminawk kah hanah angmah ih kaliinawk to pathoep coek boeh.
Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.
14 Khenah, anih loe kasae to zokpomh; kasae poekhaih hoiah zokpomh moe, amrohaih to tacawtsak.
Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.
15 Anih loe tangqom to takaeh moe, a takaeh ih tangqom thungah krak.
A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.
16 A poeksethaih to angmah ih lu nuiah krah let ueloe, minawk nganbawh kana paekhaih doeh a lu nuiah krah lat tih.
Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.
17 A toenghaih baktih toengah Angraeng to ka saphaw moe, Sang Koek Angraeng ih ahmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
