Tingtoeng 69
1 David kah Tuilipai te aka mawt ham Tui loh ka hinglu te ham pha dongah Pathen aw kai n'khang lah.
For the music director. To the tune “Lilies.” A psalm of David. God, please save me, because the water is up to my neck!
2 Sihnok laedil la ka buek tih tungtainah om kolla tui dung la ka pha voek dongah tuili loh kai n'yo coeng.
I'm sinking deeper into the mud—there's no solid ground for me to stand. I find myself in deep water; floods wash over me.
3 Ka pang te khaw ka kohnue coeng. Ka olrhong khaw koh coeng. Ka Pathen te ka lamtawn ah ka mik kha coeng.
I'm so tired of screaming out for help my throat is totally raw. My eyes are worn out looking for my God to help me.
4 Lunglilungl a la ka lunguet rhoek tah ka lu dongkah sam lakah yet. A honghi mai neh kai aka biit ka thunkha rhoek loh yet uh. Ka huen pawt te ka sah.
Those who hate me for no reason are more than the number of hairs on my head. Many enemies try to destroy me by telling lies. How can I give back what I didn't steal?
5 Ka anglat te Pathen namah loh na ming tih ka dumlai he nang taeng lamloh a thuh uh moenih.
God, you know how foolish I am! My sins are not hidden from you.
6 Ka Boeipa caempuei Yahovah, nang aka lamtawn rhoek te kai kong ah yahpok uh boel saeh. Israel Pathen nang aka tlap rhoek te kai kong ah a hmaithae uh boel saeh.
Don't let those who trust you be ashamed because of me, Lord God Almighty. Don't let those who follow you be disgraced because of me, God of Israel.
7 Nang ham te kokhahnah ka phueih tih ka maelhmai he mingthae loh a dah.
For your sake I put up with the insults; my face shows my embarrassment.
8 Ka pacaboeina rhoek taengah ka hlanglak tih ka manu ca rhoek taengah ka kholong.
I have become a foreigner to my brother Israelites; a stranger to my very own brothers.
9 Na im thatlainah dongah kai n'yoop tih nang aka veet rhoek kah kokhahnah khaw kai soah tla.
My devotion for your house is burning me up inside; the insults of those who insulted you have fallen on me.
10 Te dongah ka hinglu kah yaehnah neh ka rhap dae kai taengah kokhahnah la pawk.
I wept and I fasted, but they mocked me;
11 Ka tlamhni pueinak ka bai vaengah amih ham thuidoeknah la ka om.
I mourned in sackcloth, but they laughed at me.
12 Vong ka kah aka ngol rhoek loh kai taengah lolmang a taeng uh tih yu o rhoek kah rhotoeng la ka om khoeng.
People sitting by the town gate gossip about me. I'm the subject of rude songs sung by drunks.
13 Tedae Pathen kah kolonah tue vaengah, kai loh BOEIPA nang taengah ka thangthuinah te, na sitlohnah cangpai dongah namah kah khangnah oltak neh kai nan doo.
But my prayer is to you, Lord, believing this is a good time to respond to me. God, in your wonderful trustworthy love, answer me with your sure salvation.
14 Tangnong khui lamkah kai n'huul lamtah m'buek sak boeh. Ka lunguet neh tui dung lamkah n'huul lah.
Please rescue me from the mud—don't let me sink! Save me from those who hate me and from drowning in the deep waters!
15 Tuili tui loh kai n'yo boel saeh lamtah a laedil la kai n'yoop boel saeh. Tangrhom loh kai a ka n'khuep thil boel saeh.
Don't let the flood waters wash over me. Don't let the deep waters pull me down. Don't let the grave close over me.
16 Na sitlohnah a then dongah kai n'doo lah BOEIPA. Na haidamnah cungkuem neh kai taengla ha mael lah.
Please answer my prayers, Lord, for you are good and love me with your trustworthy love; because of your kindness, please help me.
17 Te dongah na maelhmai te na sal taeng lamkah thuh boel mai. Ka taengah n'daengdaeh dongah a loe la kai n'doo dae.
Don't turn away from me, your servant. Please answer me quickly because I'm in trouble.
18 Ka hinglu taengla ha yoei lamtah n'tlan dae. Ka thunkha rhoek kongah kai n'lat dae.
Come here and rescue me; set me free from my enemies.
19 Namah loh kai kah kokhahnah, yahpohnah, ka mingthae neh na hmaikah kai aka daengdaeh boeih khaw na ming.
You—you know my shame, my disgrace, my humiliation. You see everything my enemies are doing.
20 Kokhahnah dongah ka lungbuei rhek tih ka mangoeng sut. Te dongah aka suem ham ka lamtawn dae om pawt tih, aka hloep ham khaw ka hmu pawh.
Insults have broken my heart—I am so sick there is no cure. I looked for some sympathy, but there was no one! Nobody showed me any compassion.
21 Ka buh dongah anrhat han hlum uh tih ka tuihalh vaengkah ham a thuui n'tul uh.
Instead they gave me bitter herbs to eat and vinegar to drink.
22 Amih kah caboei te amih mikhmuh ah pael la, rhoepnah te hlaeh la om pah saeh.
May the table set before them become a trap for them, a net that catches them, bringing punishment.
23 Amih kah mik te a tueng khui lamkah hmuep saeh lamtah a cinghen khaw khun yoeyah saeh.
May their eyes become blind so they cannot see, and may their backs always be bent low in dejection.
24 Amih te na kosi lun thil lamtah na thintoek thinsa loh amih te doom saeh.
Pour out your judgment on them; chase them down in your fierce anger.
25 Amih kah lumim te kho pong la om saeh lamtah a dap ah khosa hlang om boel saeh.
Let the places where they live be deserted. Let their homes be abandoned.
26 Na ngawn te a hloem uh tih na rhok kah nganboh te a tae uh.
For they persecute those you have punished, and make it even more painful for those you have disciplined.
27 Thaesainah te amamih kathaesainah neh a koei dongah nang kah duengnah te bawn uh boel saeh.
Punish them for the evil they have done. Don't acquit them.
28 Hingnah cabu khui lamkah phae lamtah hlang dueng rhoek neh hmaih daek boeh.
Blot out their names from the Book of Life. Don't let them be listed with those who do right.
29 Tedae kai mangdaeng thakkhoeih he, Pathen namah kah khangnah neh n'hoeptlang lah.
But I am suffering and in physical pain. God, please save me and keep me safe.
30 Lumla a neh Pathen ming te ka thangthen vetih amah te uemonah neh ka pomsang puei ni.
I will praise God's character in song; I will say how incredible he is and how thankful I am.
31 Te daengah ni BOEIPA ham vaito vaitotal ki cawn neh khomae aka rhak lakah a uemo eh.
The Lord is happier with this than with offering animals as sacrifices: cattle, or bulls with horns and hooves.
32 Kodo rhoek loh a hmuh vetih a kohoe uh ni. Pathen aka tlap rhoek, nangmih thinko ah hing van saeh.
The humble will see this and be happy. May God encourage everyone who comes to him.
33 BOEIPA loh khodaeng rhoek te a yaak tih a thongtla rhoek khaw a hnoel moenih.
God hears the poor, and he does not ignore his people who are in prison.
34 Vaan rhoek neh diklai loh, tuitunli rhoek neh a khuiah aka yuel boeih loh BOEIPA amah te thangthen uh saeh.
Praise him heaven and earth, the seas and everything that lives in them!
35 Pathen loh Zion a khang ni. Judah khopuei rhoek te a sak vaengah kho a sak vetih pahoi a pang uh ni.
For God will save Zion, and rebuild the cities of Judah. They will live there and own the land.
36 A sal rhoek kah a tiingan long khaw a pang uh vetih a ming aka lungnah rhoek loh a khuiah kho a sakuh.
The descendants of those who follow him will inherit the land, and those who love him will live there.
