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.

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God! when I pray! Preserve my life from the terrors of the enemy!

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

Hide me from the assembly of the wicked, From the brawling crowd of evil-doers!

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

For like a sword they sharpen their tongues, Like arrows they aim their poisoned words,

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

To shoot in secret at the upright; Suddenly do they shoot at him without fear.

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

They prepare themselves for an evil deed; They commune of laying secret snares: “Who,” say they, “will see them?”

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

They meditate crimes: “We have finished,” say they, “our plans!” The heart and bosom of every one of them are 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 shall they be wounded.

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

Thus their own tongues shall bring them down; All who see them will 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.

Then will all men stand in awe, And declare what God hath done, And attentively 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, and trust in the LORD; All the upright in heart shall glory.
