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.
HEAR the right, O Lord, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
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; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
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 proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Hlang kah thaphu dongah na hmuilai lamkah olka nen ni kai loh dingca kah a caehlong te ka rhael.
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Na namtlak kah ka khokan khaw ka kho a paloe pawt ham n'duel dae.
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
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 have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Caemrhal lamkah aka ying rhoek te na bantang kut neh aka khang, na sitlohnah tah khobaerhambae la tueng.
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
8 Na mikhmuh ah thenhnaih nu bangla na phae hlip ah kai n'ying sak lamtah,
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow 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 oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 Amih te a komoelh uh, a kam a khuep uh tih hoemdamnah a thui uh.
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
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 have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 A mueisa mah rhamsa ngaeh ham aka moo sathueng neh sathuengca bangla a huephael ah kho a sak.
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion 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.
Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
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 which are thy hand, O Lord, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 Kai ngawn tah, duengnah dongah na maelhmai ka hmuh vetih, namah kah muei la ka haenghang vaengah, ngaikhuek la ka om ni.
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
