[By David.] Contend, YHWH, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
2 Kai bomnah ham photling neh photlinglen te muk lamtah thoo lah.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
3 Kai aka hloem rhoek te caai neh khoh lamtah sulbung neh ham mah lah. Ka hinglu taengah, “Kai tah nang kah khangnah ni,” ti nah saeh.
Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, "I am your salvation."
4 Ka hinglu aka mae rhoek he yahpok saeh lamtah a hmaithae uh saeh. Kai a thae la aka moeh rhoek te a hnuk la balkhong uh saeh lamtah ngam uh saeh.
Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
5 Khohli dong kah cangkik bangla om uh saeh lamtah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh hawk nawn saeh.
Let them be as chaff before the wind, YHWH's angel driving them on.
6 Amih kah longpuei te hmaisuep neh longhnal la om saeh lamtah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh amih te hloem saeh.
Let their way be dark and slippery, YHWH's angel pursuing them.
7 A tloengtlaih van la kai ham lawk a tung uh tih ka hinglu ham vaam a too uh.
For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
8 Anih kah a ming mueh la khohli rhamrhael loh kae saeh lamtah lawk a tung te amah man saeh. Anih taengah khohli rhamrhael la tlak thil saeh.
Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
9 Te vaengah ka hinglu loh BOEIPA ah omngaih vetih amah kah khangnah dongah ngaingaih ni.
My soul shall be joyful in YHWH. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 Ka rhuh ka rhong boeih loh, “Mangdaeng te amah lakah tlungluen kut lamkah, mangdaeng neh khodaeng te khaw anih aka rheth kut lamkah BOEIPA nang bangla aka huul te unim?,” ti uh saeh.
All my bones shall say, "YHWH, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?"
11 Kuthlahnah kah laipai rhoek te ha tlai uh tih kai loh ka ming mueh te n'dawt uh.
Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I do not know about.
12 Ka hinglu kah polpainah ham a then yueng la boethae neh kai n'thuung uh.
They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
13 Tedae kai tah amih te tloh a nue vaengah tlamhni ka pueinak nah. Ka hinglu he yaehnah neh ka phaep vaengah ka thangthuinah loh ka kodang la ha bal.
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
14 Pay a bangla ka manuca bangla ka ngai. A nu kah rhahdoe cangpoem bangla ka van tih kopang doela lu ka singling.
I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
15 Tedae ka cungdonah te ko a khah uh tih tingtun uh. Hlanghaeng rhoek loh ka ming pawt vaengah ka taengah tingtun uh. Kai n'hliphen uh vaengah toeng uh pawh.
But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I did not know it. They tore at me, and did not cease.
16 Lailak loh kai he buh bangla tamdaengtamkha neh a no n'tah thiluh.
When I tripped, they mocked me relentlessly; they gnashed their teeth at me.
17 Aw Boeipa, mevaeng hil nim nan sawt sut ve? Ka hinglu he khohli rhamrhael lamloh, ka oingaih cangloeng te sathuengca kut lamloh han doek lah.
YHWH, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
18 Hlangping a yet taengah nang kan uem vetih pilnam rhaengpuei lakli ah nang kan thangthen ni.
I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.

Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause and wink their eyes.
20 Rhoepnah a thui uh mueh la khohmuen he dingsuek tila thailatnah ol te a moeh uh.
For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
21 Te dongah kai taengah a ka a ang uh tih, “Ahuei ahuei mamih mik loh a hmuh coeng,” a ti uh.
Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha. Aha. Our eye has seen it."
22 Na hmuh coeng BOEIPA. Na hilphah boeh. Kai taeng lamkah n'lakhla tak boeh ka Boeipa.
You have seen it, YHWH. Do not keep silent. YHWH, do not be far from me.

Wake up. Rise up to defend me, my God. My Lord, contend for me.
24 Ka BOEIPA Pathen aw, na duengnah neh kai n'tang sak lamtah kai soah a kokhap uh boel saeh.
Vindicate me, YHWH my God, according to your righteousness. Do not let them gloat over me.

Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha. Aha. Our desire." Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up."

Let them be put to shame and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
27 Kai kah duengnah aka omtoem rhoek loh tamhoe uh lamtah a kohoe uh saeh. Te dongah a sal kah ngaimongnah aka omtoem BOEIPA tah pomsang pai saeh,” ti uh yoeyah saeh.
Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. And let them say continually, "YHWH be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant."
28 Te vaengah na duengnah neh namah koehnah te ka olka loh hnin at puet thuep saeh.
My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
