Tingtoeng 11

1 Aka mawt ham David kah BOEIPA dongah ka ying coeng. Metlamlae ka hinglu te vaa bangla na tlang dongah rhaehba khaw rhaehba mai na ti?

For the chief music-maker. Of David. In the Lord put I my faith; how will you say to my soul, Go in flight like a bird to the mountain?

2 Halang rhoek loh lungbuei aka thuem rhoek te a hmuep lamloh kah ham, lirhui dongah thaltang a mop uh tih lii a phuk uh thil ke.

See, the bows of the evil-doers are bent, they make ready their arrows on the cord, so that they may send them secretly against the upright in heart.

3 A yung a paa te a koengloeng uh vaengah aka dueng loh balae a saii thai?

If the bases are broken down, what is the upright man to do?

4 BOEIPA tah amah kah bawkim cim ah om. BOEIPA kah a ngolkhoel tah vaan ah om. Hlang capa rhoek te a mik neh a dawn tih a mikkhu neh a noem.

The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.

5 BOEIPA loh aka dueng neh aka halang te a noem vaengah kuthlahnah aka lungnah te BOEIPA kah a hinglu loh a hmuhuet.

The Lord puts the upright and the sinner to the test, but he has hate in his soul for the lover of violent acts.

6 Halang tah hmai pael neh kat a tlan thil vetih yilh ling boengloeng te a buham nah ni.

On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.

7 Duengnah BOEIPA tah a dueng dongah a thuem aka lungnah rhoek long ni a maelhmai a hmuh uh eh.

For the Lord is upright; he is a lover of righteousness: the upright will see his face.
