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 Musician. A Melody of David. Hear, O God, my voice when I complain, From dread peril by the foe, wilt thou guard my life.
2 Thaehuet rhoek kah baecenol neh, boethae aka saii rhoihui kut lamkah, kai nan thuh.
Wilt thou hide me, From the conclave of evil-doers, From the crowd of workers of iniquity.
3 A lai te cunghang bangla haat tih, a ol khaa te thaltang la a nuen uh.
Who have sharpened, like a sword, their tongue, Have made ready their arrow—a bitter word;
4 A cuemthuek te a huephael lamloh a nuen tih, anih te buengrhuet a kah uh khaw rhih uh pawh.
To shoot, in secret places, at the blameless one, Suddenly they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 Ol thae doek ham amamih thaphoh uh thae tih, “Hlaeh tung uh sih lamtah unim aka hmuh ve?,” a ti uh.
They strengthen for them a wicked word, They talk of hiding snares, They have said, Who can 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 devise perverse things, They have completed the device well devised, Both the intent of each one, and the mind, are unsearchable.
7 Tedae amih te Pathen loh thaltang neh a kah buengrhuet vetih, hmasoe la om uh ni.
Once let God have shot at them an arrow, Suddenly have appeared their own wounds!
8 Te vaengah amamih kah olka a tongtah uh te, aka hmuh boeih loh yong uh ni.
When they were to have ruined another, their tongue smote themselves, All who observe them take flight.
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.
Therefore have all men feared, —And have told the doing of God, And, his work, have considered.
10 Aka dueng te BOEIPA ah a kohoe saeh lamtah amah dongah ying saeh. Lungbuei aka thuem boeih khaw thangthen uh saeh.
The righteous man shall rejoice in Yahweh, and seek refuge in him, Then shall glory—all who are upright in heart.
