Tingtoeng 144
1 David kah Caemtloek ham ka kutdawn neh caemrhal ham ka kut aka cang puei, ka lungpang BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh.
[A Psalm] of David concerning Goliad. Blessed [be] the Lord my God, who instructs my hands for battle, [and] my fingers for war.
2 Ka sitlohnah neh ka rhalvong, ka imsang neh kai ham kai aka hlawt ka photling, ka hmuiah ka pilnam aka hnaa amah dongah ni ka ying.
My mercy, and my refuge; my helper, and my deliverer; my protector, in whom I have trusted; who subdues my people under me.
3 BOEIPA aw hlang te metlam nim na ming tih amah hlanghing capa te amah la na moeh.
Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou takest account of him?
4 Hlang he a hohing la lutlat tih a khohnin khaw mueihlip bangla khum.
Man is like to vanity: his days pass as a shadow.
5 BOEIPA namah kah vaan ke koisu lamtah ha rhum laeh. Tlang ke puei lamtah khuu uh kangna saeh.
O Lord, bow thy heavens, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Rhaek daeh sak lamtah amih te taekyak lah. Na thaltang dong lamtah amih te khawkkhek lah.
Send lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: send forth thine arrows, and thou shalt discomfit them.
7 Hmuensang lamkah na kut yueng lamtah kai m'paco lah. Tui len lamkah khaw, kholong hlang kah kut lamlong khaw kai n'huul lah.
Send forth thine hand from on high; rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hand of strange children;
8 Amih ka te a poeyoek la cal uh tih a bantang bantang ah laithae om.
whose mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity.
9 Pathen namah taengah laa thai ka sa saeh lamtah namah te thangpa parha neh kan tingtoeng eh.
O God, I will sing a new song to thee: I will play to thee on a psaltery of ten strings.
10 Manghai rhoek te loeihnah aka pae tih a sal David te boethae cunghang lamloh aka paco.
[Even] to him who gives salvation to kings: who redeems his servant David from the hurtful sword.
11 Kai he m'paco lamtah kholong ca rhoek kut lamloh kai n'huul lah. Amih ka te a poeyoek la cal tih a bantang bantang ah a honghi kak la om.
Deliver me, and rescue me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth has spoken vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of iniquity;
12 Kaimih koca rhoek tah a camoe vaengah mupoe bangla rhoeng. Ka tu rhoek te bawkim muei la a saek rhungsut bangla omuh.
whose children are as plants, strengthened in their youth: their daughters are beautiful, sumptuously adorned after the similitude of a temple.
13 Ka thaidi loh a com a luem lamkah te a khawk la a dang. Ka khohmuen ah ka boiva loh thawt tih pungtai.
Their garners are full, and bursting with one kind of store after another; their sheep are prolific, multiplying in their streets.
14 Ka boeihlum aka tloeng khaw puut pawt tih khumpael pawh. Te dongah henah loh kaimih toltung ah om pawh.
Their oxen are fat: there is no falling down of a hedge, nor going out, nor cry in their folds.
15 Amah kah pilnam te tah a yoethen pai. BOEIPA te a Pathen la aka khueh pilnam te tah a yoethen pai.
Men bless the people to whom this lot belongs, [but] blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
