Tingtoeng 140
1 Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung BOEIPA aw boethae Adam kut lamloh kai n'pumcum sak lamtah, kuthlahnah hlang kut lamloh kai n'kueinah lah.
To the leader. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, Lord, from evil people; from the violent guard me
2 A lungbuei khuiah boethae a huet uh tih khohnin takuem caem a hueh uh. (Selah)
from those who plot evil in their heart, and stir up war continually:
3 A lai te rhul bangla a suih tih a hmuilai dongah minta sue kap. (Selah)
who make their tongue as sharp as a serpent’s, and under whose lips is the poison of adders. (Selah)
4 BOEIPA aw halang kut lamkah neh hlang kah kuthlahnah lamloh kai dawndah lah. Ka kho ah kalh sak ham moeh uh cakhaw kai nan kueinah coeng.
Preserve me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked, from the violent guard me from those who are plotting to trip up my feet.
5 Thinthah rhoek loh kai ham pael neh rhuihet uh a tung uh. Namtlak hmoi ah lawk a tung uh tih kai hamla hlaeh a tung uh. (Selah)
The proud have hidden a trap for me, cords they have spread as a net for my feet: snares they have set at the side of my track. (Selah)
6 BOEIPA taengah, “Namah tah kai kah Pathen. BOEIPA aw ka huithuinah ol he hnakaeng lah,” ka ti.
I have said to the Lord, “My God are you; attend, Lord, to my loud plea.
7 Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah kai kah khangnah sarhi ni. Lungpokhaica khohnin ah pataeng ka lu soah nan khuk coeng.
O Lord my Lord, my savior mighty, you did cover my head in the day of battle.
8 BOEIPA aw halang kah huengaihnah te na rhoi moenih. A kopoek thae na dang sak pawt te ni a pomsang uh eh. (Selah)
Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; and what they have purposed, promote you not.” (Selah)
9 Kai aka ven rhoek kah a lu te amamih hmuilai kah thakthaenah loh amamih te thing rhoe thing saeh.
Let them not lift up their heads against me. May the mischief they prate bring themselves to destruction,
10 Amih soah hmai-alh tla rhoe tla saeh. Amih te hmai khui neh rhomdung khuila cungku saeh lamtah thoo uh boel saeh.
may he rain upon them coals of fire, may he strike them down swiftly, to rise no more,
11 Olsai hlang he hlang kah khohmuen ah naepnoi boel saeh. Boethae kuthlahnah te khaw pathaeng payang la yoep saeh.
no place in the land may there be for the slanderer: may the violent be hunted from sorrow to sorrow.
12 Mangdaeng kah dumlai neh khodaeng kah laitloeknah BOEIPA loh a rhoi te ka ming rhoela ka ming.
I know that the Lord will do right by the weak, and will execute justice for those who are needy.
13 Aka dueng rhoek loh na ming te rhep a uem uh vetih aka Olsai rhoek ni na mikhmuh ah kho a sak uh eh.
Surely the righteous shall praise your name, and they who are upright shall live in your presence.
