Tingtoeng 70

1 Aka mawt ham David kah a ngaidam te Kai aka huul ham Pathen nang ha om lah. Kai bomkung la BOEIPA nang ha tawn uh lah.

To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory. Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

2 Ka hinglu aka mae rhoek te yahpok uh saeh lamtah a hmai tal uh saeh. Kai kah yoethae aka omtoem rhoek khaw a hnuk la balkhong uh saeh lamtah a hmaithae uh saeh.

Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

3 “Ahuei ah uei,” aka ti rhoek khaw yahpohnah la amamih kah thapang la bal saeh.

Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

4 Nang aka tlap rhoek boeih tah namah dongah ngaingaih uh vetih a kohoe uh ni. Namah kah khangnah aka lungnah rhoek loh,” Pathen te pomsang yoeyah uh,” ti uh saeh.

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

5 Tedae kai he mangdaeng neh khodaeng ni. Pathen aw kai aka bomkung ham kai taengla na tawn uh tih kai aka hlawt ham BOEIPA nang na uelh moenih.

But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.
