La Bu 141

1 O Yahweh Pakai, nangma kakouve, Panpi ngehna katao hi nei ngaipeh loijin!

A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, I have called You, hurry to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to You.

2 Kataona hi nahenga gimnamtwi kilhut bang'in chule kakhut teni kadopsang hi nilhah lang kilhaina gantha bang'in neisanpeh tan.

My prayer is prepared—incense before You, The lifting up of my hands—the evening present.

3 O Yahweh Pakai, kakam'a hin kamdal neikoipeh'in. Kakam sung nei vetpeh jing in.

Set, O YHWH, a watch for my mouth, Watch over the door of my lips.

4 Thilse bolna din kalungthim aselam-a kon'in neihoidah sah in, thil dihlou bolna'a neipansah hih'in. Thildihlou bol hon aphat chompiu thangset umtah thil hoa chan nei neisah hih'in.

Do not incline my heart to an evil thing, To habitually do actions in wickedness, Working iniquity with men, Indeed, I do not eat of their pleasant things.

5 Miphan eiphoh hen hichu ngailutna joh ahi! Amahon eisuhdihna chu damna ahipoi, Miphalou hon thilse abol dounan katao jinge.

The righteous beat me [in] kindness. And reprove me, My head does not disallow oil of the head, For my prayer [is] still about their distress.

6 Alamkaiteu kol'a akisot lhah tengleh, miphalou hon kathusei angaidiu chuteng dih ahinsah diu ahi.

Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.

7 Songpi akikhet keh teng tol'a akitakeh bang in, miphalou ho gule chang ho jong vui louva kithe jal ding ahi. (Sheol h7585)

As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)

8 O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, panpi ngaijin na henga kataove. Nangma kakiselna kulpi nahi; amaho khut-a thina neitosah hih in.

But to You, O YHWH, my Lord, [are] my eyes, In You I have trusted, Do not make my soul bare.

9 Kei ona dinga thang akam-uva kon in neihuhdoh in, thilpha lou jenga chon ho thangkol'a nei o-sah hih in.

Keep me from the trap they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.

10 Miphalou ho chu amaho thang kam-a chun oh uhen, kijam chap tauhen; keivang nei hoidoh sah'in.

The wicked fall in their dragnets together, until I pass over!
