Tingtoeng 17
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.
“A psalm of David.” Hear the righteous cause, O LORD! Attend to my cry; Give ear to my prayer from lips without deceit!
2 Ka laitloeknah he namah taeng lamkah halo saeh lamtah na mik loh vanatnah te hmuh van saeh.
May my sentence come forth from thy presence; May thine eyes behold uprightness!
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.
Provest thou my heart, visitest thou me in the night, Triest thou me like gold, thou shalt find nothing!
4 Hlang kah thaphu dongah na hmuilai lamkah olka nen ni kai loh dingca kah a caehlong te ka rhael.
My thoughts do not vary from my lips. As to the deeds of men, Through 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.
Support my steps in thy paths, That my feet may not slip!
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 call upon thee, O God! for thou wilt hear me; Incline thine ear to me, and listen to my prayer!
7 Caemrhal lamkah aka ying rhoek te na bantang kut neh aka khang, na sitlohnah tah khobaerhambae la tueng.
Show forth thy loving-kindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand Them that seek refuge in thee from their adversaries!
8 Na mikhmuh ah thenhnaih nu bangla na phae hlip ah kai n'ying sak lamtah,
Guard 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 who assault 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 shut up their hard heart; With their mouth they speak haughtily.
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 encompass us in all our steps; They fix their eyes upon us, that they may cast us on the ground.
12 A mueisa mah rhamsa ngaeh ham aka moo sathueng neh sathuengca bangla a huephael ah kho a sak.
They are like a lion, eager for his prey; Like 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 them, cast them down! Deliver me from the wicked by 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, by thy hand, O LORD! from men of the world, Whose portion is in life; whom thou loadest with thy treasure; Whose children have enough, and leave their superfluity to 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 through righteousness shall see thy face; I shall be satisfied with the revival of thy countenance.
