Tingtoeng 31
1 David kah Tingtoenglung neh aka mawt ham. BOEIPA nang dongah ka ying tih kumhal duela yah sak boeh. Na duengnah neh kai n'hlawt lah.
A psalm of David. For the music director. Lord, you are the one who keeps me safe; please don't let me ever be humiliated. Save me, because you always do what is right.
2 Na hna te kai taengah rhep duen lamtah kai he tlek n'huul lah. Kai ham lunghim lungpang la, kai aka khang ham rhalvong im la om lah.
Please listen to me, and be quick to rescue me. Be my rock of protection, my strong fortress of safety.
3 Nang tah ka thaelpang neh ka rhalvong ni. Te dongah namah ming ham kai nan mawt tih nan khool.
You are my rock and my fortress. For the sake of your reputation, please lead me and guide me.
4 Namah te ka lunghim coeng dongah kai ham a tung uh lawk lamkah te nan doek.
Help me escape from the hidden net that they set to trap me, for you are the one who protects me.
5 Ka mueihla he na kut ah kan hlah tih oltak Pathen BOEIPA loh kai he nan lat.
I put myself in your hands. Save me, Lord, for you are a trustworthy God.
6 A poeyoek la a honghi aka ngaithuen khaw ka hmuhuet tih kai tah BOEIPA ni ka pangtung.
I hate those who devote themselves to pointless idols; I trust in the Lord.
7 Namah kah sitlohnah neh kai kah phacip phabaem te nan hmuh tih ka hinglu kah citcai te nan ming dongah ka omngaih vetih ka kohoe ni.
I will celebrate, happy in your love that never fails, for you have seen the problems I face and have paid attention to my troubles.
8 Te dongah kai he thunkha kut ah nan tloeng mueh la ka kho he a hoengpoeknah ah nan sut.
You haven't handed me over to my enemies; you have set me free.
9 Konoinah dongah ka mik, ka hinglu neh ka bungko hmawn tih puen ka cak dongah kai n'rhen dae BOEIPA.
Be kind to me Lord, for I am upset. I can hardly see from so much crying. I am completely wasting away.
10 Ka hingnah he kothae loh a ngawn tih ka hueinah neh ka kum thok. Kamah kathaesainah dongah ka thadueng yaai tih ka rhuh hmawn. Te vaengah tol long ah kai aka hmu kamah hmaiben rhoek te kai lamloh birhihnah neh yong uh.
Grief is killing me; my life is cut short by sadness; I am falling apart because of my troubles; I am worn to the bone.
11 Kamah puencak dongah hlang boeih neh ka imben kah kokhahnah la mat ka om.
I am ridiculed by my enemies, particularly by my neighbors. My friends dread meeting me; people who see me in the street run the other way.
12 Duek tangtae bangla a lungbuei ah kai n'hnilh. Am poo bangla ka om.
I have been forgotten as if I were dead; I'm ignored like a broken pot.
13 theetnah he kaepvai ah rhihnah la muep ka yaak. Amih te kai soah tingtun tih, ka hinglu loh hamla a mangtaeng uh.
I hear many people whispering about me; terror surrounds me. They plot together against me, planning to kill me.
14 Tedae kai tah BOEIPA nang dongah ka pangtung tih nang te ka Pathen ni ka ti.
But I put my trust in you, Lord, saying, “You are my God!”
15 Ka khohnin he na kut dongah om. Ka thunkha kut neh kai aka hloem kut lamkah kai n'huul lah.
My whole life is in your hands! Save me from those who hate me and persecute me!
16 Na sal taengah na maelhmai te han sae sak lah. Na sitlohnah neh kai n'khang lah.
May you look kindly on me, your servant. Save me because of your trustworthy love.
17 BOEIPA nang kan khue vaengah yah m'poh sak boeh. Halang rhoek te yahpok saeh lamtah saelkhui la duem uh saeh. (Sheol h7585)
Lord, don't let me be disgraced, for I'm calling out to you. Instead let the wicked be disgraced, let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585)
18 Hlang dueng te hoemnah neh nueihbu la a hong aka thui mangkhak rhoek loh a kam khom saeh.
Shut the mouths of those who tell lies against good people—those who speak contemptuously in their pride and arrogance!
19 Namah aka rhih rhoek ham na khoem pah tih hlang capa rhoek hmuh ah namah dongla aka ying rhoek ham na saii pah na thennah he bahoeng len.
How wonderful is the goodness you have reserved for those who honor you! In front of everyone you give this goodness to those who come to you for help.
20 Hlang kah tangkhuepnah lamkah na hmai kah a huephael ah amih te na thuh. Tuituknah ol lamkah pohlip ah amih te na khoem.
You shelter and protect them with your presence, far from their enemies who scheme against them. You keep them safe from attacks and accusations.
21 Khopuei vongup khuiah kai ham a sitlohnah khobaerhambae la a tueng dongah BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai.
Bless the Lord, for he has shown me his wonderful trustworthy love when my city was being attacked
22 Te dongah ka tamto vaengah, “Na mikhmuh lamkah ka pat coeng,” ka ti. Tedae namah taengla ka pang vaengah ka huithuinah ol nan yaak.
Terrified I cried out, “I am being destroyed right in front of you!” But you heard my cry when I called out for you to help me.
23 Amah kah hlangcim rhoek boeih loh BOEIPA te lungnah uh lah. Oltak te BOEIPA loh a kueinah tih hoemnah aka saii te a khawk la a thuung.
Love the Lord, all you who trust in him! The Lord takes care of those who trust him, but he pays back in full those who are arrogant.
24 BOEIPA dongah aka ngaiuep boeih loh thahuel uh lamtah na thinko cak sakuh.
Be strong and be confident, all you who put your hope in the Lord.
