Tingtoeng 141
1 David kah Tingtoenglung BOEIPA nang kang khue vaengah kai taengla ha tawn uh. Nang te kang khue vaengah ka ol he hnakaeng lah.
“A psalm of David.” O Lord, I call thee, hasten unto me: give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
2 Ka thangthuinah he na mikhmuh ah ka kutdong kah buham neh hlaemhmah khosaa kah bo-ul la tawn saeh.
May my prayer be valued as incense before thee, the lifting up of my hands, as the evening offering.
3 Aw BOEIPA ka ka ah rhaltawt hang khueh lamtah ka hmuilai kah thohkhaih he kueinah lah.
Set, O Lord, a watch unto my mouth: keep a guard at the door of my lips.
4 Halangnah kah khoboe rhamlang poelyoe ham ol thae dongla ka lungbuei ham maelh boeh. Boethae aka saii hlang rhoek taengah khaw amih kah buhtui antui te m'bap sak boeh.
Permit not my heart to incline after any evil thing, to practise deeds in wickedness with men that are doers of wrong: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Kai he aka dueng long tah sitlohnah neh n'phop vetih lu dongkah situi nen kai n'tluung lah saeh, lu ka hiil mahpawh. Tedae koep ka thangthuinah thil khaw Amih boethae rhoek ham ni.
If the righteous strike me, it is a kindness; and if he reprove me, it is [as] oil poured on the head, my head shall not refuse it; for yet my prayer also [is offered] in their sufferings.
6 Amih aka tang sak rhoek te thaelpang pango lamloh paluet saeh. Te daengah a hlahmae uh ham khaw ka ol a hnatang uh eh.
Are their judges fallen down through means of a rock: then will they listen to my words; for they are pleasant.
As when one cutteth in and splitteth open the earth: so are our bones scattered for the mouth of the grave. (Sheol h7585)
8 Tedae ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah ni ka mik ka dai. Namah ah ka ying vanbangla ka hinglu he na kingling moenih.
For unto thee, O Eternal Lord, are my eyes directed; in thee do I trust: pour not out my life.
9 Pael kut lamloh kai n'khoembael lah. Boethae aka saii kah hlaeh nen khaw kai he n'hlaeh uh.
Guard me from the power of the snare which they have laid for me, and the traps of the wrong-doers.
10 Kai ka khum duela halang rhoek tah amah kah thaang dongla rhenten cungku uh saeh.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, altogether—while I pass safely by.
