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. Lord, I call to you: hasten, to me, attend to my voice, when I call to you.
2 Ka thangthuinah he na mikhmuh ah ka kutdong kah buham neh hlaemhmah khosaa kah bo-ul la tawn saeh.
Let my prayer be presented as incense before you, and my uplifted hands as the evening meal-offering.
3 Aw BOEIPA, ka ka ah rhaltawt hang khueh lamtah ka hmuilai kah thohkhaih he kueinah lah.
Set, O Lord, a watch on my mouth, put a guard on 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.
Incline not my heart to an evil matter, to busy myself in deeds of wickedness, in company with workers of evil: never may I partake 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.
A wound or reproof from a good person in kindness is oil which my head shall never refuse. In their misfortune my prayer is still with them.
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.
Abandoned they are to the hands of their judges: they shall learn that my words are true.
Like stones on a country road cleft and broken so lie our bones scattered for Death to devour. (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.
But my eyes are turned towards you, O Lord. Do not pour out my life, for in you I take refuge.
9 Pael kut lamloh kai n'khoembael lah. Boethae aka saii kah hlaeh nen khaw kai he n'hlaeh uh.
Keep me safe from the trap they have laid for me, from the snares of the workers of trouble.
10 Kai ka khum duela halang rhoek tah amah kah thaang dongla rhenten cungku uh saeh.
Into their own nets let wicked people fall; while I pass by in safety.
