To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said, I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
2 BOEIPA tah ka thaelpang, ka rhalvong neh kai aka hlawt, ka Pathen, ka lungpang la om. Amah dongah ka ying tih ka photling, daemnah molsom, neh ka imsang la om.
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3 Thang then ham aka koih BOEIPA te ka khue vaengah ka thunkha rhoek kut lamkah ka daem.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 Dueknah rhuihet loh kai n'yen tih aka muen soklong loh kai n'let sak.
The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.
The bands of Sheol surrounded me, the cords of death encountered me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Ka kho a bing vaengah BOEIPA te ka khue tih ka Pathen taengah ka pang. A bawkim lamloh ka ol a yaak tih ka pang ol loh amah hmai neh a hna khuila a pha.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.
7 Te vaengah diklai tuen tih hinghuen. Amah taengah a sai dongah tlang yung rhoek khaw tlai uh tih tuen uh.
Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.
8 A hnarhong lamkah hmaikhu thoeng tih a ka lamkah hmai loh a laeh vaengah hmai-alh khaw tak.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.
9 Te phoeiah vaan te a koiloep tih a suntlak vaengah yinnah tah a kho hmui la pawk.
And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
10 Cherub dongah ngol bal tih a ding vaengah khohli phae soah ding hang.
And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.
11 Khohmuep te a kaepvai kah a hlipyingnah la, khomong khomai kah tamyin tui te a dungtlungim la a khueh.
He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 Amah hmai kah a aa te a khomai khui lamkah rhael neh hmai alh la coe.
From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.
13 Te phoeiah BOEIPA tah vaan lamkah loh ha kawk tih Khohni loh a ol a huel vaengah rhael neh hmai alh la thoeng.
And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
14 A thaltang a kah tih amih te a taek a yaak. Rhaek neh a daeh tih amih te a khawkkhek.
And he sent his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Na thintoek kah na hiil yilh neh BOEIPA nang kah tluungnah dongah sokca kah tui phoe tih lunglai khaw a yung hoep.
And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 A sang lamloh yueng uh tih tui dueng khui kah kai he n'tuuk tih n'doek.
He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:
17 Kai ham tah tlung uh coeng dae ka thunkha hlangtlung taeng lamkah neh ka lunguet taeng lamloh kai n'huul.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.
18 Ka rhainah khohnin ah amih loh kai m'mah uh cakhaw kai ham tukcawt longkhawn la BOEIPA om.
They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
19 Tedae ka khuiah a naep dongah kai he a hoengpoeknah la n'thak tih kai n'pumcum sak.
And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 Ka duengnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai n'thuung tih ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah ha mael.
Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 BOEIPA kah longpuei ka ngaithuen tih ka Pathen taeng lamkah ka poehlip van pawh.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 Te dongah a laitloeknah boeih te kamah hmai ah ka khueh tih a khosing te kamah taeng lamkah ka phaelh pawh.
For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;
23 Amah hmaiah cuemthuek la ka om tih kamah kathaesainah lamloh khaw ka cue uh.
And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Te dongah ka duengnah neh amah mikhmuh ah ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah BOEIPA loh n'thuung coeng.
And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
25 Hingcim taengah uepom la na om tih, cuemthuek hlang taengah na cungkuem coeng.
With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
26 Aka meet uh taengah na meet uh tih voeldak te tah na hnueih.
With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
27 Namah loh pilnam mangdaeng te na khang tih mikhmuh kah aka pomsang rhoek khaw na kunyun sak.
For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
28 Ka BOEIPA Pathen namah loh ka hmaithoi nan tok tih ka hmaisuep khaw a tue.
For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
29 Namah neh caem ka poeng tih ka Pathen nen tah pangbueng khaw ka poe thai.
For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 Pathen tah a longpuei khangmai tih BOEIPA tah olthui a cimcaih dongah anih khuiah aka ying boeih ham tah photling la a om pah.
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
31 BOEIPA phoeiah Pathen te unim? Mamih kah Pathen phoeiah tah unim lungpang bal?
For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
32 Pathen loh kai he khuehtawn m'vah sak tih, ka longpuei khangmai la a khueh.
The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,
33 Ka kho he sayuk bangla han saii tih, ka hmuensang ah kai m'pai sak.
Who maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places;
34 Ka kut he caemtloek ham a cang tih, ka ban loh rhohum lii khaw a phuk thai.
Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;
35 Namah kah khangnah photling te kai taengah nan paek tih, na bantang kut loh kai n'duel. Te dongah na kodonah neh kai nan rhoeng sak.
And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
36 Ka kungdak kah ka kholaeh khaw na aeh dongah ka kho paloe pawh.
Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
37 Ka thunkha rhoek te ka hloem tih amih te ka kae phoeiah amih ka khah hlanah ka balkhong moenih.
I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
38 Amih te ka phop daengah ni thoo uh thai pawt tih ka kho tangah a bakop uh.
I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
39 Caemtloek ham khaw kai he thadueng nan vah sak tih kai aka tlai thil rhoek te kamah hmuila na koisu.
And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
40 Te dongah ka thunkha rhoek kah a rhawn te kai taengah na duen sak tih ka lunguet te ka biit.
And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
41 BOEIPA taengah pang uh coeng dae khang voel pawt tih amih te doo voel pawh.
They cried, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
42 Te dongah amih te khohli hman kah laipi bangla ka neet tih long kah tangnong bangla ka hawk.
And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43 Pilnam kah tuituknah khui lamkah kai nan hlawt. Namtom kah a lu la kai nan khueh ming pawt pilnam loh kai taengah tho a thueng.
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
44 Ka ol te a hna dongah olthang la a yaak uh vaengah kholong ca rhoek loh kai taengah mai a tum uh.
At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.
45 Kholong ca rhoek loh tahah uh tih amamih vongtung khui lamkah samoe uh.
Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.
46 BOEIPA he hingnah la a om dongah ka lungpang tah a yoethen pai tih ka daemnah Pathen tah pomsang pai saeh.
Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,
47 Pathen loh kai hamla tawnlohnah a paek dongah kai dangah ni pilnam a voek.
The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;
48 Ka thunkha rhoek taeng lamkah kai nan hlawt, kai aka tlai thil soah kai nan pomsang bal. Hlang kah kuthlahnah lamkah kai nan huul.
Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
49 Te dongah BOEIPA nang te namtom taengah kan uem vetih na ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.
50 A manghai kah khangnah tah len khaw len pai. Te dongah ni sitlohnah he a koelh taengah khaw, David neh a tiingan taengah khaw kumhal duela a saii pah.
[It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, and sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
