1 Oelhtaih vaengkah David kah Aw BOEIPA, kai aka nen ka lungawn te han nen lah.
By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
2 Kai bomnah ham photling neh photlinglen te muk lamtah thoo lah.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise 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.
And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I [am].'
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.
They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
5 Khohli dong kah cangkik bangla om uh saeh lamtah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh hawk nawn saeh.
They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
6 Amih kah longpuei te hmaisuep neh longhnal la om saeh lamtah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh amih te hloem saeh.
Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
7 A tloengtlaih van la kai ham lawk a tung uh tih ka hinglu ham vaam a too uh.
For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged 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.
Meet him doth desolation — he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
9 Te vaengah ka hinglu loh BOEIPA ah omngaih vetih amah kah khangnah dongah ngaingaih ni.
And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth 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 say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
11 Kuthlahnah kah laipai rhoek te ha tlai uh tih kai loh ka ming mueh te n'dawt uh.
Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
12 Ka hinglu kah polpainah ham a then yueng la boethae neh kai n'thuung uh.
They pay me evil for good, bereaving 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.
And I — in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
14 Pay a bangla ka manuca bangla ka ngai. A nu kah rhahdoe cangpoem bangla ka van tih kopang doela lu ka singling.
As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
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.
And — in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
16 Lailak loh kai he buh bangla tamdaengtamkha neh a no n'tah thiluh.
With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
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.
Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
18 Hlangping a yet taengah nang kan uem vetih pilnam rhaengpuei lakli ah nang kan thangthen ni.
I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
19 A hong mai khaw ka thunkha rhoek loh kai dongah n'kokhah uh tih a lunglilungla la kai aka hmuhuet loh a mik m'mikhip thil boel saeh.
Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
20 Rhoepnah a thui uh mueh la khohmuen he dingsuek tila thailatnah ol te a moeh uh.
For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
21 Te dongah kai taengah a ka a ang uh tih, “Ahuei ahuei mamih mik loh a hmuh coeng,” a ti uh.
And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
22 Na hmuh coeng BOEIPA. Na hilphah boeh. Kai taeng lamkah n'lakhla tak boeh ka Boeipa.
Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord — be not far from me,
23 Kamah kah tuituknah dongah kai ka tiktamnah ham haenghang lamtah thoo laeh ka Pathen neh ka Boeipa.
Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
24 Ka BOEIPA Pathen aw, na duengnah neh kai n'tang sak lamtah kai soah a kokhap uh boel saeh.
Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
25 Amih lungbuei ah, “Ahuei, mamih hinglu soep coeng,” ti uh boel saehAnih.” n'dolh uh coeng, “ti uh boel saeh.
They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'
26 Kai kah yoethae soah ko aka hoe rhoek te rhenten yak uh saeh lamtah ngam uh saeh. Kai soah aka pomsang rhoe te yahpohnah neh mingthae loh khuk saeh.
They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying 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.
They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'
28 Te vaengah na duengnah neh namah koehnah te ka olka loh hnin at puet thuep saeh.
And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
