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. Yahweh, I am crying out to you; come quickly to me. Listen to me 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.
May my prayer be like incense before you; may my lifted hands be like the evening sacrifice.
3 Aw BOEIPA ka ka ah rhaltawt hang khueh lamtah ka hmuilai kah thohkhaih he kueinah lah.
Yahweh, place a guard over my mouth; guard 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.
Do not let my heart desire any evil thing or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly. May I not eat any of their delicacies.
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.
Let a righteous man hit me; it will be a kindness to me. Let him correct me; it will be like oil on my head; may my head not refuse to accept it. But my prayer is always against their wicked deeds.
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.
Their leaders will be thrown down from the top of cliffs; they will hear that my own words are pleasant.
7 Diklai te a khoh tih a ueth bangla kaimih rhuh he Saelkhui ka ah ni a yaal uh. (Sheol h7585)
They will have to say, “As when one plows and breaks up the ground, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.” (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.
Surely my eyes are on you, Yahweh, Lord; in you I take refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
9 Pael kut lamloh kai n'khoembael lah. Boethae aka saii kah hlaeh nen khaw kai he n'hlaeh uh.
Protect me from the snares that they have laid for me, from the traps of evildoers.
10 Kai ka khum duela halang rhoek tah amah kah thaang dongla rhenten cungku uh saeh.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets while I escape.
