Tingtoeng 12

1 Aka mawt ham David kah Sheminith Tingtoeng BOEIPA, hlangcim om pawt tih hlang kah capa rhoek khuikah oltak rhoek khaw a milh coeng dongah n'khang dae

Unto the end; for the octave, a psalm for David. Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.

2 A hui taengah a poeyoek la rhip cal uh tih, a hmui khaw hnal. A lungbuei neh a lungbuei ah voek uh thae.

They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.

3 Duelhduelh aka cal tih a hmui a lai aka hnal boeih te BOEIPA loh rhet pa saeh.

May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

4 Mah kah hmui lai neh n'na bitni. Unim mamih kah boei?,” a ti uh.

Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?

5 Mangdaeng kah rhoelrhanah kongah, khodaeng rhoek a kiinah kongah ka thoo pawn ni. BOEIPA loh, “A taengah a sat hlang te, khangnah khuila ka khueh ni, “a ti.

By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.

6 BOEIPA kah olthui tah aka caih olthui ni. Diklai hmaihueng khuiah voei rhih a ciil tangtae cak te a picai ni.

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.

7 BOEIPA nang loh, tebang thawnpuei taeng lamloh nan dawn nan dah vetih, kumhal duela nan kueinah ni.

Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.

8 Halang loh kaepvai a tluek vaengah, hlang capa rhoek loh hlangyoe a pomsang ni.

The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou best multiplied the children of men.
