Unto the end. For David, the servant of the Lord, who spoke the words of this canticle to the Lord, in the day that the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. And he said: I will love you, O Lord 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.
The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my liberator. My God is my helper, and I hope in him: my protector, and the horn of my salvation, and my support.
3 Thang then ham aka koih BOEIPA te ka khue vaengah ka thunkha rhoek kut lamkah ka daem.
Praising, I will call upon the Lord. And I will be saved from my enemies.
4 Dueknah rhuihet loh kai n'yen tih aka muen soklong loh kai n'let sak.
The sorrows of death surrounded me, and the torrents of iniquity dismayed me.
The sorrows of Hell encompassed me, and the snares of death intercepted 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 tribulation, I called upon the Lord, and I cried out to my God. And he listened to my voice from his holy temple. And my cry in his presence entered into his ears.
7 Te vaengah diklai tuen tih hinghuen. Amah taengah a sai dongah tlang yung rhoek khaw tlai uh tih tuen uh.
The earth was shaken, and it trembled. The foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and they were shaken, because he was angry with them.
8 A hnarhong lamkah hmaikhu thoeng tih a ka lamkah hmai loh a laeh vaengah hmai-alh khaw tak.
A smoke ascended by his wrath, and a fire flared up from his face: coals were kindled by it.
9 Te phoeiah vaan te a koiloep tih a suntlak vaengah yinnah tah a kho hmui la pawk.
He bent the heavens, and they descended. And darkness was under his feet.
10 Cherub dongah ngol bal tih a ding vaengah khohli phae soah ding hang.
And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew: he flew upon the feathers of the winds.
11 Khohmuep te a kaepvai kah a hlipyingnah la, khomong khomai kah tamyin tui te a dungtlungim la a khueh.
And he set darkness as his hiding place, with his tabernacle all around him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.
12 Amah hmai kah a aa te a khomai khui lamkah rhael neh hmai alh la coe.
At the brightness that was before his sight, the clouds crossed by, with hail 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.
And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail 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 forth his arrows and scattered them. He multiplied lightnings, and he set them in disarray.
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 fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were revealed, by your rebuke, O Lord, by the inspiration of the Spirit of your wrath.
16 A sang lamloh yueng uh tih tui dueng khui kah kai he n'tuuk tih n'doek.
He sent from on high, and he accepted me. And he took me up, 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 rescued me from my strongest enemies, and from those who hated me. For they had been too strong for me.
18 Ka rhainah khohnin ah amih loh kai m'mah uh cakhaw kai ham tukcawt longkhawn la BOEIPA om.
They intercepted me in the day of my affliction, and the Lord became my protector.

And he led me out, into a wide place. He accomplished my salvation, because he willed me.
20 Ka duengnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai n'thuung tih ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah ha mael.
And the Lord will reward me according to my justice, and he will repay me according to the purity of my hands.
21 BOEIPA kah longpuei ka ngaithuen tih ka Pathen taeng lamkah ka poehlip van pawh.
For I have preserved the ways of the Lord, and I have not behaved impiously before 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 judgments are in my sight, and his justice, I have not pushed away from me.
23 Amah hmaiah cuemthuek la ka om tih kamah kathaesainah lamloh khaw ka cue uh.
And I will be immaculate together with him, and I will keep myself from my iniquity.
24 Te dongah ka duengnah neh amah mikhmuh ah ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah BOEIPA loh n'thuung coeng.
And the Lord will reward me according to my justice and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
25 Hingcim taengah uepom la na om tih, cuemthuek hlang taengah na cungkuem coeng.
With the holy, you will be holy, and with the innocent, you will be innocent,
26 Aka meet uh taengah na meet uh tih voeldak te tah na hnueih.
and with the elect, you will be elect, and with the perverse, you will be perverse.
27 Namah loh pilnam mangdaeng te na khang tih mikhmuh kah aka pomsang rhoek khaw na kunyun sak.
For you will save the humble people, but you will bring down the eyes of the arrogant.

For in you, I will be delivered from temptation; and with my God, I will climb over a wall.
30 Pathen tah a longpuei khangmai tih BOEIPA tah olthui a cimcaih dongah anih khuiah aka ying boeih ham tah photling la a om pah.
As for my God, his way is undefiled. The eloquence of the Lord has been examined by fire. He is the protector of all who hope in him.
31 BOEIPA phoeiah Pathen te unim? Mamih kah Pathen phoeiah tah unim lungpang bal?
For who is God, except the Lord? And who is God, except our God?
32 Pathen loh kai he khuehtawn m'vah sak tih, ka longpuei khangmai la a khueh.
It is God who has wrapped me with virtue and made my way immaculate.
33 Ka kho he sayuk bangla han saii tih, ka hmuensang ah kai m'pai sak.

And you have wrapped me with virtue for the battle. And those rising up against me, you have subdued under me.

And you have given the back of my enemies to me, and you have destroyed those who hated me.
41 BOEIPA taengah pang uh coeng dae khang voel pawt tih amih te doo voel pawh.
They cried out, but there was none to save them, to the Lord, but he did not heed them.
42 Te dongah amih te khohli hman kah laipi bangla ka neet tih long kah tangnong bangla ka hawk.
And I will crush them into dust before the face of the wind, so that I will obliterate them like the mud in 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.
You will rescue me from the contradictions of the people. You will set me at the head of the Gentiles.

A people I did not know has served me. As soon as their ears heard, they were obedient to me.
45 Kholong ca rhoek loh tahah uh tih amamih vongtung khui lamkah samoe uh.
The sons of foreigners have been deceitful to me, the sons of foreigners have grown weak with time, and they have wavered from their paths.
46 BOEIPA he hingnah la a om dongah ka lungpang tah a yoethen pai tih ka daemnah Pathen tah pomsang pai saeh.
The Lord lives, and blessed is my God, and may the God of my salvation be exalted:
47 Pathen loh kai hamla tawnlohnah a paek dongah kai dangah ni pilnam a voek.
O God, who vindicates me and who subdues the people under me, my liberator from my enraged enemies.
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.
And you will exalt me above those who rise up against me. From the iniquitous man, you will rescue me.
49 Te dongah BOEIPA nang te namtom taengah kan uem vetih na ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
Because of this, O Lord, I will confess to you among the nations, and I will compose a psalm to your name:
50 A manghai kah khangnah tah len khaw len pai. Te dongah ni sitlohnah he a koelh taengah khaw, David neh a tiingan taengah khaw kumhal duela a saii pah.
magnifying the salvation of his king, and showing mercy to David, his Christ, and to his offspring, even for all time.
