For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.

Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
3 Ka galmite'n eisamseu vin, eigihna'u hi akithong le'u jeng'in ahi. Aman boi na eilhunkhum sah un lunghang tah'in eihin delkhum taove.
at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
4 Ka lung aphul lap jeng'in thina gimneitah hin eihin nokhum tan ahi.
My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.

Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
6 Oh, vakhu bang'a lhaving nei hitave leng o keima lengdoh ingting ga kicholdo tang'e!
I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
7 Keima gamlatah in lengdoh ingting gamthip noi olnamun gabel tang'e.
How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain.
8 Hitobang kivetdatona huipi kinunglah a konhin gangtah in gamlatah a jammang tang'e.
I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”

O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.

For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.

But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.

But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.

Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.

He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.

God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— (Selah) because they do not change and they have no fear of God.

My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
21 Athu cheng chu thaotwi bang'in analjet in hinlah asung uvin gal lungthim apu'uve. Athu cheng'u thaotwi nang abang'in hinlah asunglang uvah chemjam ngen aum'e.
His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
22 Na pohgih chu Yahweh Pakai chung'a seplha tan Aman na ngai jangpeh nante. Aman mi chonpha ho chu akipalsah lou ding lhuh jong alhuhsah lou ding ahi.
Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
