Tingtoeng 21

1 Aka mawt ham David kah tingtoenglung BOEIPA nang kah sarhi dongah manghai a kohoe tih, namah kah khangnah dongah bahoeng omngaih.

For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, the king shall rejoice in your strength; and in your salvation he shall greatly exult.

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 granted him the desire of his soul, and have not withheld from him the request of his lips. (Pause)

3 Anih te yoethennah then neh na doe tih a lu ah suicilh rhuisam na khueh pah.

For you have prevented him with blessings of goodness: you has set upon his head a crown of precious stone.

4 Namah taengkah hingnah ham bih vaengah anih ham kumhal ah khohnin na puh sak tih na paek yoeyah.

He asked life of you, and you gave him length of days 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: you will crown him with glory and majesty.

6 Anih te yoethennah na paek yoeyah dongah namah hmai kah kohoenah neh a ko na hoe sak.

For you will give him a blessing for ever and ever: you will gladden him with joy with your countenance.

7 Te dongah manghai loh BOEIPA dongah pangtung tih, Khohni kah sitlohnah rhang neh tuen voel mahpawh.

For the king trusts in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Highest he shall 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.

Let your hand be found by all your enemies: let your right hand find all that hate 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 shall make them as a fiery oven at the time of your presence: the Lord shall trouble them in his anger, and fire shall devour them.

10 Amih kah a thaihtae te diklai lamkah, amih kah tiingan khaw hlang capa rhoek khui lamkah na milh sak ni.

You shall destroy their fruit from the earth, and their seed from [amongst] the sons of men.

11 Nang taengah tangkhuepnah a thae la moeh uh tih n'taeng uh dae a phu uh hae moenih.

For they intended evils against you; they imagined a device which they shall by no means be able to perform.

12 Tedae na liva neh amih maelhmai te na nuen vaengah amih te a hnuk la na rhoe bitni.

For you shall make them [turn their] back in your latter end, you will prepare their face.

13 BOEIPA te pomsang pai saeh. Na sarhi te ka hlai uh vetih na thayung thamal te ka tingtoeng uh ni.

Be you exalted, O Lord, in your strength: we will sing and praise your mighty acts.
