Tingtoeng 41

1 Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Yoethaenah hnin ah tattloel te aka cangbam tah a yoethen. Anih te BOEIPA loh a loeih sak.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who cares for the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of trouble.

2 BOEIPA loh anih te a dawndah vetih a hlun ni. Khohmuen nen khaw uem la uem vetih, a thunkha kah hinglu la anih te tloeng mahpawh.

The LORD will protect and preserve him; He will bless him in the land and refuse to surrender him to the will of his foes.

3 BOEIPA loh kolet soengca dongkah te khaw a duel. A thingkong boeih te a tlohtat lamloh na palet bitni.

The LORD will sustain him on his bed of illness and restore him from his bed of sickness.

4 Kai loh, “BOEIPA, nang taengah ka tholh oeh tih, kai n'rhen lamtah ka hinglu he hoeih sak lah,” ka ti.

I said, “O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against You.”

5 Ka thunkha rhoek loh kai he, “Me vaengah nim a duek vetih a ming a paltham ve,” tila a thae a thui.

My enemies say with malice: “When will he die and be forgotten?”

6 Hmuh hamla aka pawk boeih tah a lungbuei khaw a poeyoek lam ni a cal. Amah ham boethae a coi tih, vongvoel la a pha neh a thui.

My visitor speaks falsehood; he gathers slander in his heart; he goes out and spreads it abroad.

7 Ka lunguet boeih loh kai he a thae la m'moeh uh dongah kai taengah tun sisuk uh.

All who hate me whisper against me; they imagine the worst for me:

8 “Anih tah a olka aka muen loh a kap thil tih a yalh atah thoh hamla koei mahpawh.

“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”

9 Ka ngaimongnah hlang te tah amah dongah ka pangtung dae, ka buh aka ca long ni kai taengah a khodil a taloeh.

Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 Tedae BOEIPA nang loh kai n'rhen lamtah amih khoboe te thuung ham kai n'thoh lah.

But You, O LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, that I may repay them.

11 Ka thunkha rhoek te kai soah a yuhui pawt dongah kai taengah na naem te ka ming.

By this I know that You delight in me, for my enemy does not triumph over me.

12 Kai khaw kamah kah thincaknah neh kai nan duel tih kumhal namah hmai ah kai nan khueh.

In my integrity You uphold me and set me in Your presence forever.

13 Israel kah Pathen BOEIPA tah kumhal lamkah kumhal due a yoethen pai. Amen neh Amen.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.
