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

For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail 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 speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

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

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh great things:

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

Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail; 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.

For the spoiling of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety at whom they puff.

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 in a furnace on the earth, purified seven times.

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

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

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

The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
