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.

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God! when I pray! Preserve my life from the terrors of the enemy!

2 Thaehuet rhoek kah baecenol neh, boethae aka saii rhoihui kut lamkah, kai nan thuh.

Hide me from the assembly of the wicked, From the brawling crowd of evil-doers!

3 A lai te cunghang bangla haat tih, a ol khaa te thaltang la a nuen uh.

For like a sword they sharpen their tongues, Like arrows they aim their poisoned words,

4 A cuemthuek te a huephael lamloh a nuen tih, anih te buengrhuet a kah uh khaw rhih uh pawh.

To shoot in secret at the upright; Suddenly do they shoot at him without fear.

5 Ol thae doek ham amamih thaphoh uh thae tih, “Hlaeh tung uh sih lamtah unim aka hmuh ve?,” a ti uh.

They prepare themselves for an evil deed; They commune of laying secret snares: “Who,” say they, “will see them?”

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.

They meditate crimes: “We have finished,” say they, “our plans!” The heart and bosom of every one of them are deep.

7 Tedae amih te Pathen loh thaltang neh a kah buengrhuet vetih, hmasoe la om uh ni.

But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly shall they be wounded.

8 Te vaengah amamih kah olka a tongtah uh te, aka hmuh boeih loh yong uh ni.

Thus their own tongues shall bring them down; All who see them will flee away.

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.

Then will all men stand in awe, And declare what God hath done, And attentively consider his work.

10 Aka dueng te BOEIPA ah a kohoe saeh lamtah amah dongah ying saeh. Lungbuei aka thuem boeih khaw thangthen uh saeh.

The righteous shall rejoice, and trust in the LORD; All the upright in heart shall glory.
