< Tingtoeng 21 >
1 Aka mawt ham David kah tingtoenglung BOEIPA nang kah sarhi dongah manghai a kohoe tih, namah kah khangnah dongah bahoeng omngaih.
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. The king will be glad in your strength, O Lord; how great will be his delight in your salvation!
2 Anih ham a lungbuei kah a ngaihlihnah khaw na doo tih, a hmuilai kah a kueknah te na hloh pah pawh. (Selah)
You have given him his heart's desire, and have not kept back the request of his lips. (Selah)
3 Anih te yoethennah then neh na doe tih a lu ah suicilh rhuisam na khueh pah.
For you go before him with the blessings of good things: you put a crown of fair gold on his head.
4 Namah taengkah hingnah ham bih vaengah anih ham kumhal ah khohnin na puh sak tih na paek yoeyah.
He made request to you for life, and you gave it to him, long life for ever and ever.
5 Nang kah khangnah lamloh a thangpomnah tanglue tih, mueithennah neh rhuepomnah te anih dongah na hal coeng.
His glory is great in your salvation: honour and authority have you put on him.
6 Anih te yoethennah na paek yoeyah dongah namah hmai kah kohoenah neh a ko na hoe sak.
For you have made him a blessing for ever: you have given him joy in the light of your face.
7 Te dongah manghai loh BOEIPA dongah pangtung tih, Khohni kah sitlohnah rhang neh tuen voel mahpawh.
For the king has faith in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he will not be moved.
8 Na thunkha boeih te na kut loh a hmuh vetih, na lunguet rhoek khaw na bantang kut loh a tuuk bitni.
Your hand will make a search for all your haters; your right hand will be hard on all those who are against you.
9 Namah na phoe tue vaengah amih te hmaipom hmai bangla na khueh bitni. BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh amih te a dolh vetih hmai loh a hlawp ni.
You will make them like a flaming oven before you; the Lord in his wrath will put an end to them, and they will be burned up in the fire.
10 Amih kah a thaihtae te diklai lamkah, amih kah tiingan khaw hlang capa rhoek khui lamkah na milh sak ni.
Their fruit will be cut off from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.
11 Nang taengah tangkhuepnah a thae la moeh uh tih n'taeng uh dae a phu uh hae moenih.
For their thoughts were bitter against you: they had an evil design in their minds, which they were not able to put into effect.
12 Tedae na liva neh amih maelhmai te na nuen vaengah amih te a hnuk la na rhoe bitni.
Their backs will be turned when you make ready the cords of your bow against their faces.
13 BOEIPA te pomsang pai saeh. Na sarhi te ka hlai uh vetih na thayung thamal te ka tingtoeng uh ni.
Be lifted up, O Lord, in your strength; so will we make songs in praise of your power.
