Tingtoeng 142

1 David kah Hlohlai, lungko khuila a om vaengkah Thangthuinah BOEIPA taengla ka ol neh ka pang tih BOEIPA taengah ka ol neh n'rhen lah ka ti.

Maschil. Of David. A prayer when he was in the hole of the rock. The sound of my cry went up to the Lord; with my voice I made my prayer for grace to the Lord.

2 A mikhmuh ah ka kohuetnah ka kingling tih ka citcai khaw a mikhmuh ah ka phoe.

I put all my sorrows before him; and made clear to him all my trouble.

3 Ka khuikah ka mueihla rhae tih ka pongpa nah caehlong ah kai ham pael tung cakhaw ka hawn he na ming.

When my spirit is overcome, your eyes are on my goings; nets have been secretly placed in the way in which I go.

4 Bantang la paelki lamtah Kai ham ka hmat hlang om pawh tila hmu van lah. Kai ham tah thuhaelnah khaw bing coeng tih ka hinglu aka toem khaw om pawh.

Looking to my right side, I saw no man who was my friend: I had no safe place; no one had any care for my soul.

5 BOEIPA taengah ah ka pang tih, “Namah he mulhing khohmuen ah ka hlipyingnah neh ka khoyo coeng,” ni ka ti.

I have made my cry to you, O Lord; I have said, You are my safe place, and my heritage in the land of the living.

6 Mat ka tlayae coeng dongah ka tamlung taengla hnatung lah. Kai lakah aka tlung tih kai aka hloem rhoek taeng lamloh kai n'huul lah.

Give ear to my cry, for I am made very low: take me out of the hands of my haters, for they are stronger than I.

7 Kai hinglu he rhomhmop lamloh coe sak lamtah na ming te uem saeh. Kai he nan thuung ham coeng dongah aka dueng rhoek tah kamah taengah a bulbo uh ni.

Take my soul out of prison, so that I may give praise to your name: the upright will give praise because of me; for you have given me a full reward.
