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 Leader. A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in Thy 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.

Incline Thine ear unto me, deliver me speedily; be Thou to me a rock of refuge, even a fortress of defence, to save me.

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

For Thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for Thy 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.

Bring me forth out of the net that they have hidden for me; for Thou art my stronghold.

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

Into Thy hand I commit my spirit; Thou hast redeemed me, O LORD, Thou God of truth.

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

I hate them that 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 Thy lovingkindness; for Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast taken cognizance of the troubles of my soul,

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

And Thou hast not given me over into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a broad place.

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

Be gracious unto me, O LORD, for I am in distress; mine eye wasteth away with vexation, yea, my soul and my body.

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 in sorrow, and my years in sighing; my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.

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

Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, yea, unto my neighbours exceedingly, and a dread to mine acquaintance; they that see me without flee from me.

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

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind; I am like a useless vessel.

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 whispering of many, terror on every side; while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

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

But as for me, I have trusted in Thee, O LORD; I have said: 'Thou art 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 Thy hand; deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

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

Make Thy face to shine upon Thy servant; save me in Thy lovingkindness.

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

O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon Thee; let the wicked be ashamed, let them be put to silence in the nether-world. (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 dumb, which speak arrogantly against the righteous, 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 abundant is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that take their refuge in Thee, in the sight of 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.

Thou hidest them in the covert of Thy presence from the plottings of man; Thou concealest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

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

Blessed be the LORD; for He hath shown me His wondrous lovingkindness in an entrenched 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 Thine eyes'; nevertheless Thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto Thee.

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.

O love the LORD, all ye His godly ones; the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully repayeth him that acteth haughtily.

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

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that wait for the LORD.
