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.
Blessed be Adonai, my rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to battle:
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 chesed ·loving-kindness·, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues my people under me.
3 BOEIPA aw hlang te metlam nim na ming tih amah hlanghing capa te amah la na moeh.
Adonai, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?
4 Hlang he a hohing la lutlat tih a khohnin khaw mueihlip bangla khum.
Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.
5 BOEIPA namah kah vaan ke koisu lamtah ha rhum laeh. Tlang ke puei lamtah khuu uh kangna saeh.
Part your heavens, Adonai, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
6 Rhaek daeh sak lamtah amih te taekyak lah. Na thaltang dong lamtah amih te khawkkhek lah.
Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout 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.
Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners;
8 Amih ka te a poeyoek la cal uh tih a bantang bantang ah laithae om.
whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 Pathen namah taengah laa thai ka sa saeh lamtah namah te thangpa parha neh kan tingtoeng eh.
I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to you.
10 Manghai rhoek te loeihnah aka pae tih a sal David te boethae cunghang lamloh aka paco.
You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David [Beloved], his servant, from the deadly 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.
Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12 Kaimih koca rhoek tah a camoe vaengah mupoe bangla rhoeng. Ka tu rhoek te bawkim muei la a saek rhungsut bangla omuh.
Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.
13 Ka thaidi loh a com a luem lamkah te a khawk la a dang. Ka khohmuen ah ka boiva loh thawt tih pungtai.
Our barns are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep produce thousands and ten thousands in our fields.
14 Ka boeihlum aka tloeng khaw puut pawt tih khumpael pawh. Te dongah henah loh kaimih toltung ah om pawh.
Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.
15 Amah kah pilnam te tah a yoethen pai. BOEIPA te a Pathen la aka khueh pilnam te tah a yoethen pai.
Happy are the people who are in such a situation. Happy are the people whose God is Adonai.
