Tingtoeng 13

1 [Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung] Aw BOEIPA, mevaeng hil nim kai nan hnilh yoeyah ve? Mevaeng hil nim na maelhmai te kai taeng lamkah na thuh ve?

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How long, O Yahweh, wilt thou wholly forget me? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 Mevaeng hil nim ka thinko kah hnin takuem kothae la ka hinglu he cilsuep ka dul hawl ve? Mevaeng hil nim kai sokah ka thunkha loh caemthang a rhuk ve?

How long shall I lay up cares within my soul, sorrow in my heart, day by day? How long shall mine enemy lift himself up over me?

3 Aw ka BOEIPA Pathen paelki lamtah kai he n'doo dae. Ka mik mah han tueng sak dueknah khuila ka ip ve.

Have regard! answer me O Yahweh my God, —Light up mine eyes, lest I sleep on into death:

4 Ka thunkha loh, “Anih ka na coeng,” a ti vetih ka bung vaengah ka rhal rhoek te omngaih uh ve.

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed over him! and, mine adversaries, exult, that I totter.

5 Tedae kai tah na sitlohnah dongah ka pangtung tih namah kah khangnah dongah ka lungbuei omngaih.

But, I, in thy lovingkindness, have put my trust, My heart shall exult in thy salvation:

6 BOEIPA te kai ham a then dongah ka hlai ni.

I will sing to Yahweh, for he hath dealt beautifully with me.
