Tingtoeng 64
1 Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Pathen aw ka kohuetnah ol he han ya lah. Thunkha kah birhihnah lamloh ka hingnah he hang kueinah lah.
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.
2 Thaehuet rhoek kah baecenol neh, boethae aka saii rhoihui kut lamkah, kai nan thuh.
Keep me safe from the secret purpose of wrongdoers; from the band of the workers of evil;
3 A lai te cunghang bangla haat tih, a ol khaa te thaltang la a nuen uh.
Who make their tongues sharp like a sword, and whose arrows are pointed, even bitter words;
4 A cuemthuek te a huephael lamloh a nuen tih, anih te buengrhuet a kah uh khaw rhih uh pawh.
So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.
5 Ol thae doek ham amamih thaphoh uh thae tih, “Hlaeh tung uh sih lamtah unim aka hmuh ve?,” a ti uh.
They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,
6 Dumlai khaw a phuelhthaih uh tih, “Poeknah he khak n'uep coeng,” a tiuh. Te dongah hlang kah lungbuei khui he, a dung la om.
Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.
7 Tedae amih te Pathen loh thaltang neh a kah buengrhuet vetih, hmasoe la om uh ni.
But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.
8 Te vaengah amamih kah olka a tongtah uh te, aka hmuh boeih loh yong uh ni.
The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.
9 Tedae hlang tom loh a rhih uh vaengah, Pathen kah a bisai te a thui uh vetih, a khoboe te a lungming puei uh ni.
And in fear men make public the works of God; and giving thought to his acts they get wisdom.
10 Aka dueng te BOEIPA ah a kohoe saeh lamtah amah dongah ying saeh. Lungbuei aka thuem boeih khaw thangthen uh saeh.
The upright will be glad in the Lord and have hope in him; and all the lovers of righteousness will give him glory.
