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 you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. Rescue me in your faithfulness;
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 to me your ear. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a rock of defence, a fortified house, to save me.
3 Nang tah ka thaelpang neh ka rhalvong ni. Te dongah namah ming ham kai nan mawt tih nan khool.
For my rock and my fortress are you; lead me and guide me so your name will be honoured.
4 Namah te ka lunghim coeng dongah kai ham a tung uh lawk lamkah te nan doek.
Draw me out of the net they have hid for me, for you yourself are my refuge.
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 ransom me, Lord, faithful God.
6 A poeyoek la a honghi aka ngaithuen khaw ka hmuhuet tih kai tah BOEIPA ni ka pangtung.
I hate those devoted to worthless idols; 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 rejoice and be glad in your love, because you have looked on my misery, and cared for me in my distress.
8 Te dongah kai he thunkha kut ah nan tloeng mueh la ka kho he a hoengpoeknah ah nan sut.
You have not given me into the enemy’s hand, you have set my feet in a spacious place.
9 Konoinah dongah ka mik, ka hinglu neh ka bungko hmawn tih puen ka cak dongah kai n'rhen dae BOEIPA.
Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am distressed; my eye is wasted away with sorrow.
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 consumed with grief, and my years with sighing. My strength is broken with misery, my bones waste away.
11 Kamah puencak dongah hlang boeih neh ka imben kah kokhahnah la mat ka om.
The scorn of all my foes, the butt of my neighbours am I, a terror to my acquaintance. At the sight of me in the street people turn quickly away.
12 Duek tangtae bangla a lungbuei ah kai n'hnilh. Am poo bangla ka om.
I am clean forgotten like the dead, am become like a ruined vessel.
13 theetnah he kaepvai ah rhihnah la muep ka yaak. Amih te kai soah tingtun tih, ka hinglu loh hamla a mangtaeng uh.
I hear the whispers of many – terror on every side – scheming together against me, plotting to take my life.
14 Tedae kai tah BOEIPA nang dongah ka pangtung tih nang te ka Pathen ni ka ti.
But my trust is in you, Lord. ‘You are my God,’ I say;
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, save me from the hand of the foes who pursue 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 love.
17 BOEIPA nang kan khue vaengah yah m'poh sak boeh. Halang rhoek te yahpok saeh lamtah saelkhui la duem uh saeh. (Sheol h7585)
Put me not, O Lord, to shame, for I have called upon you. Let the wicked be put to shame silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Hlang dueng te hoemnah neh nueihbu la a hong aka thui mangkhak rhoek loh a kam khom saeh.
Strike the false lips dumb, that speak proudly against the righteous with haughtiness 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.
How great is the goodness you have treasured for those who fear you, and wrought for those who take refuge in you, in plain sight of all!
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 your sheltering wings you hide them from plottings of people, you keep them safe in a bower from the chiding of tongues.
21 Khopuei vongup khuiah kai ham a sitlohnah khobaerhambae la a tueng dongah BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai.
Blest be the Lord for the wonderful love he has shown me in time of distress.
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.
For I had said in panic, ‘I am driven clean out of your sight.’ But you heard my plea, when I cried to you for help.
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.
Love the Lord, all you faithful; the Lord protects the loyal, but repays the haughty in full.
24 BOEIPA dongah aka ngaiuep boeih loh thahuel uh lamtah na thinko cak sakuh.
Let your hearts be courageous and strong, all you who wait on the Lord.
