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 of David. In you, Yahweh, I take refuge; never let me be humiliated. Rescue 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.
Listen to me; rescue me quickly; be my rock of refuge, a stronghold 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 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 hidden for me, for you are my refuge.
5 Ka mueihla he na kut ah kan hlah tih oltak Pathen BOEIPA loh kai he nan lat.
Into your hands I entrust my spirit; you will redeem me, Yahweh, God of trustworthiness.
6 A poeyoek la a honghi aka ngaithuen khaw ka hmuhuet tih kai tah BOEIPA ni ka pangtung.
I hate those who serve worthless idols, but I trust in Yahweh.
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 covenant faithfulness, for you saw my affliction; you knew the distress of my soul.
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 hand of my enemy. You have set my feet in a wide open place.
9 Konoinah dongah ka mik, ka hinglu neh ka bungko hmawn tih puen ka cak dongah kai n'rhen dae BOEIPA.
Have mercy upon me, Yahweh, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weary with grief with 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 weary with sorrow and my years with groaning. My strength fails because of my sin, and my bones are wasting away.
11 Kamah puencak dongah hlang boeih neh ka imben kah kokhahnah la mat ka om.
Because of all my enemies, people disdain me; my neighbors are appalled at my situation, and those who know me are horrified. Those who see me in the street run from me.
12 Duek tangtae bangla a lungbuei ah kai n'hnilh. Am poo bangla ka om.
I am forgotten as a dead man whom no one thinks about. I am like a broken pot.
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, terrifying news from every side as they plot 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, Yahweh; I say, “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. Rescue me from the hands of my enemies and from those who pursue me.
16 Na sal taengah na maelhmai te han sae sak lah. Na sitlohnah neh kai n'khang lah.
Make your face shine on your servant; save me in your covenant faithfulness.
17 BOEIPA nang kan khue vaengah yah m'poh sak boeh. Halang rhoek te yahpok saeh lamtah saelkhui la duem uh saeh. (Sheol h7585)
Do not let me be humiliated, Yahweh; for I call out to you! May the wicked be humiliated! May they 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.
May lying lips be silenced that speak against the righteous defiantly with arrogance 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 your goodness that you have stored up for those who revere you, that you perform for those who take refuge in you before all the children of mankind!
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 hide them from the plots of men. You hide them in a shelter from the violence of tongues.
21 Khopuei vongup khuiah kai ham a sitlohnah khobaerhambae la a tueng dongah BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai.
Blessed be Yahweh, for he showed me his marvelous covenant faithfulness when I was in a besieged 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.
Though I said in my haste, “I am cut off from your eyes,” yet you heard my plea for help 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 Yahweh, all you faithful followers. Yahweh protects the faithful, but he pays back the arrogant in full.
24 BOEIPA dongah aka ngaiuep boeih loh thahuel uh lamtah na thinko cak sakuh.
Be strong and confident, all you who trust in Yahweh for help.
