Yahweh, I call out to you; [please] help me quickly! Listen to me when I am calling to you.

Accept my prayer as though it were incense [being burned as an offering] [SIM] to you. And accept me while I lift up my hands [to pray] to you like you accept sacrifices [that I offer to you each] evening [SIM].
3 Aw BOEIPA ka ka ah rhaltawt hang khueh lamtah ka hmuilai kah thohkhaih he kueinah lah.
Yahweh, do not allow me to say [MTY] things that are wrong; guard 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.
Prevent me from wanting to do anything that is wrong, and from joining with wicked men when they want to do evil deeds [DOU]. Do not [even] allow me to share in eating delightful food with them!
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.
It is all right if righteous people strike/hit me or rebuke me because they are trying to act kindly toward me [to teach me to do what is right], but I do not want wicked [people] to [honor me by] anointing my head with [olive] oil; I am always praying [that you will punish them because of] the wicked deeds [that they do].
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.
When their rulers are thrown down from the top of rocky cliffs, people will know that what you, Yahweh, said [about them] is true.
Like a log that is split and cut into small pieces [SIM], their shattered bones will be scattered [on the ground] near [other] graves. (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 Yahweh God, I [continue to] ask you [to help me]. I ask you to protect me; do not allow me to (die/be killed) [now]!
9 Pael kut lamloh kai n'khoembael lah. Boethae aka saii kah hlaeh nen khaw kai he n'hlaeh uh.
[It is as though] people have set traps for me; protect me from falling into those traps, [It is as though] they have spread nets to catch me; keep me from being caught in those nets.
10 Kai ka khum duela halang rhoek tah amah kah thaang dongla rhenten cungku uh saeh.
I desire that wicked [people] will fall into the traps they have set [to catch me] while I escape [from them].
