Tingtoeng 31

1 David kah Tingtoenglung neh aka mawt ham. BOEIPA nang dongah ka ying tih kumhal duela yah sak boeh. Na duengnah neh kai n'hlawt lah.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. In you, LORD, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.

2 Na hna te kai taengah rhep duen lamtah kai he tlek n'huul lah. Kai ham lunghim lungpang la, kai aka khang ham rhalvong im la om lah.

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

3 Nang tah ka thaelpang neh ka rhalvong ni. Te dongah namah ming ham kai nan mawt tih nan khool.

For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.

4 Namah te ka lunghim coeng dongah kai ham a tung uh lawk lamkah te nan doek.

Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.

5 Ka mueihla he na kut ah kan hlah tih oltak Pathen BOEIPA loh kai he nan lat.

Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.

6 A poeyoek la a honghi aka ngaithuen khaw ka hmuhuet tih kai tah BOEIPA ni ka pangtung.

I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in the LORD.

7 Namah kah sitlohnah neh kai kah phacip phabaem te nan hmuh tih ka hinglu kah citcai te nan ming dongah ka omngaih vetih ka kohoe ni.

I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.

8 Te dongah kai he thunkha kut ah nan tloeng mueh la ka kho he a hoengpoeknah ah nan sut.

You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.

9 Konoinah dongah ka mik, ka hinglu neh ka bungko hmawn tih puen ka cak dongah kai n'rhen dae BOEIPA.

Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.

10 Ka hingnah he kothae loh a ngawn tih ka hueinah neh ka kum thok. Kamah kathaesainah dongah ka thadueng yaai tih ka rhuh hmawn. Te vaengah tol long ah kai aka hmu kamah hmaiben rhoek te kai lamloh birhihnah neh yong uh.

For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.

11 Kamah puencak dongah hlang boeih neh ka imben kah kokhahnah la mat ka om.

Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.

12 Duek tangtae bangla a lungbuei ah kai n'hnilh. Am poo bangla ka om.

I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.

13 theetnah he kaepvai ah rhihnah la muep ka yaak. Amih te kai soah tingtun tih, ka hinglu loh hamla a mangtaeng uh.

For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.

14 Tedae kai tah BOEIPA nang dongah ka pangtung tih nang te ka Pathen ni ka ti.

But I trust in you, LORD. I said, “You are my God.”

15 Ka khohnin he na kut dongah om. Ka thunkha kut neh kai aka hloem kut lamkah kai n'huul lah.

My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

16 Na sal taengah na maelhmai te han sae sak lah. Na sitlohnah neh kai n'khang lah.

Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.

17 BOEIPA nang kan khue vaengah yah m'poh sak boeh. Halang rhoek te yahpok saeh lamtah saelkhui la duem uh saeh. (Sheol h7585)

Let me not be disappointed, LORD, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol (Sheol h7585).

18 Hlang dueng te hoemnah neh nueihbu la a hong aka thui mangkhak rhoek loh a kam khom saeh.

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

19 Namah aka rhih rhoek ham na khoem pah tih hlang capa rhoek hmuh ah namah dongla aka ying rhoek ham na saii pah na thennah he bahoeng len.

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!

20 Hlang kah tangkhuepnah lamkah na hmai kah a huephael ah amih te na thuh. Tuituknah ol lamkah pohlip ah amih te na khoem.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

21 Khopuei vongup khuiah kai ham a sitlohnah khobaerhambae la a tueng dongah BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai.

Praise be to the LORD, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.

22 Te dongah ka tamto vaengah, “Na mikhmuh lamkah ka pat coeng,” ka ti. Tedae namah taengla ka pang vaengah ka huithuinah ol nan yaak.

As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.

23 Amah kah hlangcim rhoek boeih loh BOEIPA te lungnah uh lah. Oltak te BOEIPA loh a kueinah tih hoemnah aka saii te a khawk la a thuung.

Oh love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.

24 BOEIPA dongah aka ngaiuep boeih loh thahuel uh lamtah na thinko cak sakuh.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.
