Tingtoeng 4
1 Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Ka duengnah Pathen te ka khue vaengah ka taengah nan doo tih, rhal khui lamkah kai te nan voelphoeng sak. Kai n'rhen lamtah ka thangthuinah he han ya lah.
For the leader, with stringed instruments. A psalm of David. Answer my cry, God, my defender. Often from straits you have brought me to spacious places. So now show me your favour and hear my prayer.
2 Hlang capa rhoek aw, kai thangpomnah te me hil nim mingthae la a om ve? A poeyoek te nim na lungnah uh vetih, laithae nim na tlap uh eh? (Selah)
How long, you proud people, will my honour be stained by the slanders you love, and the lies that you follow? (Selah)
3 Te dongah BOEIPA loh hlangcim te amah ham a hoep tila ming lah. Amah te ka khue vaengah, BOEIPA loh a yaak ni.
See! The Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness: the Lord hears, when I call to him.
4 Na tlai nen khaw tholh uh boeh. Na thinko neh na thingkong dongah thui lamtah kuemsuem lah. (Selah)
Sin not in your anger: but speak in your heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Duengnah hmueih te nawn lamtah BOEIPA dongah pangtung lah.
Offer true sacrifice, trust in the Lord.
6 Ulae kaimih a then aka tueng thai eh aka ti khaw yet. Aw BOEIPA na maelhmai kah a aa neh, kaimih soah han tue lah.
Many are longing for fortune to smile. Lift upon us the light of your face.
7 Cangpai neh misur thai a thawt tue vaengkah lakah ka lungbuei ah kohoenah nan paek.
You have put in my heart, Lord, a deeper joy than was theirs who had corn and wine in abundance.
8 BOEIPA nang bueng daengloh, kai he ngaikhuek la kho nan sak sak dongah, ngaimong la ka yalh vetih ka ih puei ni.
So in peace I will lie down and sleep; for you, Lord, keep me safe.
