1 David kah Thangthuinah Duengnah he han ya lah BOEIPA! ka tamlung he hnatung lamtah ka ka ah hlangthai palat om kolla ka thangthuinah he na hna han kaeng lah.
The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
2 Ka laitloeknah he namah taeng lamkah halo saeh lamtah na mik loh vanatnah te hmuh van saeh.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
3 Ka lungbuei he noem lah, khoyin ah nan cawh tih kai nan picai dae na hmu moenih. Ka ka he a tholh pawt ham ka mangtaeng coeng.
Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.
4 Hlang kah thaphu dongah na hmuilai lamkah olka nen ni kai loh dingca kah a caehlong te ka rhael.
Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
5 Na namtlak kah ka khokan khaw ka kho a paloe pawt ham n'duel dae.
Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
6 Kai nan doo dongah kamah loh nang ni kang khue. Pathen aw kai taengla na hna han duen lamtah ka olthui he hnatun lah.
I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
7 Caemrhal lamkah aka ying rhoek te na bantang kut neh aka khang, na sitlohnah tah khobaerhambae la tueng.
Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
8 Na mikhmuh ah thenhnaih nu bangla na phae hlip ah kai n'ying sak lamtah,
Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
9 kai aka rhoelrhak sak halang rhoek neh, kai taengah ka hinglu aka vael ka thunkha rhoek hmai lamkah kai he n'dawndah lah.
From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
10 Amih te a komoelh uh, a kam a khuep uh tih hoemdamnah a thui uh.
They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
11 Tahae ah kaimih kah khokan te a hil uh tih amih mik loh kaimih he m'vael uh coeng. Kaimih he Diklai la aka tulh ham tawn uh.
They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
12 A mueisa mah rhamsa ngaeh ham aka moo sathueng neh sathuengca bangla a huephael ah kho a sak.
Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.
13 Aw BOEIPA thoo lah, anih hmai ah khoep mah lamtah bung sak. Na cunghang neh halang kut lamkah ka hinglu he han hlah lah.
Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
14 BOEIPA namah kut dongkah hlang rhoek lamloh, khosaknah lamkah hlang rhoek lamloh, na hingnah dongah amih kah hamsum khaw na khoem pah tih a bung na hah sak. Ca rhoek khaw hah uh tih a coih te a camoe patoeng ham a paih uh.
From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.
15 Kai ngawn tah, duengnah dongah na maelhmai ka hmuh vetih, namah kah muei la ka haenghang vaengah, ngaikhuek la ka om ni.
But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
