Tingtoeng 64

1 Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Pathen aw ka kohuetnah ol he han ya lah. Thunkha kah birhihnah lamloh ka hingnah he hang kueinah lah.

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:

2 Thaehuet rhoek kah baecenol neh, boethae aka saii rhoihui kut lamkah, kai nan thuh.

Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,

3 A lai te cunghang bangla haat tih, a ol khaa te thaltang la a nuen uh.

Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;

4 A cuemthuek te a huephael lamloh a nuen tih, anih te buengrhuet a kah uh khaw rhih uh pawh.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 Ol thae doek ham amamih thaphoh uh thae tih, “Hlaeh tung uh sih lamtah unim aka hmuh ve?,” a ti uh.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?

6 Dumlai khaw a phuelhthaih uh tih, “Poeknah he khak n'uep coeng,” a tiuh. Te dongah hlang kah lungbuei khui he, a dung la om.

They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.

7 Tedae amih te Pathen loh thaltang neh a kah buengrhuet vetih, hmasoe la om uh ni.

But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;

8 Te vaengah amamih kah olka a tongtah uh te, aka hmuh boeih loh yong uh ni.

By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.

9 Tedae hlang tom loh a rhih uh vaengah, Pathen kah a bisai te a thui uh vetih, a khoboe te a lungming puei uh ni.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.

10 Aka dueng te BOEIPA ah a kohoe saeh lamtah amah dongah ying saeh. Lungbuei aka thuem boeih khaw thangthen uh saeh.

The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
