For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of Jehovah, who spake unto Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said, I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
2 BOEIPA tah ka thaelpang, ka rhalvong neh kai aka hlawt, ka Pathen, ka lungpang la om. Amah dongah ka ying tih ka photling, daemnah molsom, neh ka imsang la om.
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3 Thang then ham aka koih BOEIPA te ka khue vaengah ka thunkha rhoek kut lamkah ka daem.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 Dueknah rhuihet loh kai n'yen tih aka muen soklong loh kai n'let sak.
The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol were round about me; The snares of death came upon me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Ka kho a bing vaengah BOEIPA te ka khue tih ka Pathen taengah ka pang. A bawkim lamloh ka ol a yaak tih ka pang ol loh amah hmai neh a hna khuila a pha.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry before him came into his ears.
7 Te vaengah diklai tuen tih hinghuen. Amah taengah a sai dongah tlang yung rhoek khaw tlai uh tih tuen uh.
Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations also of the mountains quaked And were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 A hnarhong lamkah hmaikhu thoeng tih a ka lamkah hmai loh a laeh vaengah hmai-alh khaw tak.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals were kindled by it.
9 Te phoeiah vaan te a koiloep tih a suntlak vaengah yinnah tah a kho hmui la pawk.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; And thick darkness was under his feet.
10 Cherub dongah ngol bal tih a ding vaengah khohli phae soah ding hang.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
11 Khohmuep te a kaepvai kah a hlipyingnah la, khomong khomai kah tamyin tui te a dungtlungim la a khueh.
He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 Amah hmai kah a aa te a khomai khui lamkah rhael neh hmai alh la coe.
At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, Hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Te phoeiah BOEIPA tah vaan lamkah loh ha kawk tih Khohni loh a ol a huel vaengah rhael neh hmai alh la thoeng.
Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice, Hailstones and coals of fire.
14 A thaltang a kah tih amih te a taek a yaak. Rhaek neh a daeh tih amih te a khawkkhek.
And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
15 Na thintoek kah na hiil yilh neh BOEIPA nang kah tluungnah dongah sokca kah tui phoe tih lunglai khaw a yung hoep.
Then the channels of waters appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare, At thy rebuke, O Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 A sang lamloh yueng uh tih tui dueng khui kah kai he n'tuuk tih n'doek.
He sent from on high, he took me; He drew me out of many waters.
17 Kai ham tah tlung uh coeng dae ka thunkha hlangtlung taeng lamkah neh ka lunguet taeng lamloh kai n'huul.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18 Ka rhainah khohnin ah amih loh kai m'mah uh cakhaw kai ham tukcawt longkhawn la BOEIPA om.
They came upon me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
19 Tedae ka khuiah a naep dongah kai he a hoengpoeknah la n'thak tih kai n'pumcum sak.
He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 Ka duengnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai n'thuung tih ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah ha mael.
Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 BOEIPA kah longpuei ka ngaithuen tih ka Pathen taeng lamkah ka poehlip van pawh.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 Te dongah a laitloeknah boeih te kamah hmai ah ka khueh tih a khosing te kamah taeng lamkah ka phaelh pawh.
For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me.
23 Amah hmaiah cuemthuek la ka om tih kamah kathaesainah lamloh khaw ka cue uh.
I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Te dongah ka duengnah neh amah mikhmuh ah ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah BOEIPA loh n'thuung coeng.
Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 Hingcim taengah uepom la na om tih, cuemthuek hlang taengah na cungkuem coeng.
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;
26 Aka meet uh taengah na meet uh tih voeldak te tah na hnueih.
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.
31 BOEIPA phoeiah Pathen te unim? Mamih kah Pathen phoeiah tah unim lungpang bal?
For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God,
32 Pathen loh kai he khuehtawn m'vah sak tih, ka longpuei khangmai la a khueh.
The God that girdeth me with strength, And maketh my way perfect?

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy right hand hath holden me up, And thy gentleness hath made me great.

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, And my feet have not slipped.
37 Ka thunkha rhoek te ka hloem tih amih te ka kae phoeiah amih ka khah hlanah ka balkhong moenih.
I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
38 Amih te ka phop daengah ni thoo uh thai pawt tih ka kho tangah a bakop uh.
I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise: They shall fall under my feet.
39 Caemtloek ham khaw kai he thadueng nan vah sak tih kai aka tlai thil rhoek te kamah hmuila na koisu.
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, That I might cut off them that hate me.
41 BOEIPA taengah pang uh coeng dae khang voel pawt tih amih te doo voel pawh.
They cried, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.
42 Te dongah amih te khohli hman kah laipi bangla ka neet tih long kah tangnong bangla ka hawk.
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43 Pilnam kah tuituknah khui lamkah kai nan hlawt. Namtom kah a lu la kai nan khueh ming pawt pilnam loh kai taengah tho a thueng.
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation,
47 Pathen loh kai hamla tawnlohnah a paek dongah kai dangah ni pilnam a voek.
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And subdueth peoples under me.
48 Ka thunkha rhoek taeng lamkah kai nan hlawt, kai aka tlai thil soah kai nan pomsang bal. Hlang kah kuthlahnah lamkah kai nan huul.
He rescueth me from mine enemies; Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
49 Te dongah BOEIPA nang te namtom taengah kan uem vetih na ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.

Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.
