< Tingtoeng 4 >
1 Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Ka duengnah Pathen te ka khue vaengah ka taengah nan doo tih, rhal khui lamkah kai te nan voelphoeng sak. Kai n'rhen lamtah ka thangthuinah he han ya lah.
To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Melody of David. When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, and hear my prayer.
2 Hlang capa rhoek aw, kai thangpomnah te me hil nim mingthae la a om ve? A poeyoek te nim na lungnah uh vetih, laithae nim na tlap uh eh? (Selah)
Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? (Selah)
3 Te dongah BOEIPA loh hlangcim te amah ham a hoep tila ming lah. Amah te ka khue vaengah, BOEIPA loh a yaak ni.
Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.
4 Na tlai nen khaw tholh uh boeh. Na thinko neh na thingkong dongah thui lamtah kuemsuem lah. (Selah)
Be deeply moved, but do not sin, —Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. (Selah)
5 Duengnah hmueih te nawn lamtah BOEIPA dongah pangtung lah.
Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Ulae kaimih a then aka tueng thai eh aka ti khaw yet. Aw BOEIPA na maelhmai kah a aa neh, kaimih soah han tue lah.
Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.
7 Cangpai neh misur thai a thawt tue vaengkah lakah ka lungbuei ah kohoenah nan paek.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, —beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.
8 BOEIPA nang bueng daengloh, kai he ngaikhuek la kho nan sak sak dongah, ngaimong la ka yalh vetih ka ih puei ni.
In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
