Psalms 17
1 Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend to my cry. Give ear to my prayer, that goes not out of feigned lips.
[David kah Thangthuinah] Duengnah he han ya lah BOEIPA! ka tamlung he hnatung lamtah ka ka ah hlangthai palat om kolla ka thangthuinah he na hna han kaeng lah.
2 Let my justice come forth from thy presence. Let thine eyes look upon equity.
Ka laitloeknah he namah taeng lamkah halo saeh lamtah na mik loh vanatnah te hmuh van saeh.
3 Thou have proved my heart. Thou have visited me in the night. Thou have tried me, and find nothing. I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
Ka lungbuei he noem lah, khoyin ah nan cawh tih kai nan picai dae na hmu moenih. Ka ka he a tholh pawt ham ka mangtaeng coeng.
4 As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the ways of a violent man.
Hlang kah thaphu dongah na hmuilai lamkah olka nen ni kai loh dingca kah a caehlong te ka rhael.
5 My steps have held fast to thy paths. My feet have not slipped.
Na namtlak kah ka khokan khaw ka kho a paloe pawt ham n'duel dae.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou will answer me, O God. Incline thine ear to me, and hear my speech.
Kai nan doo dongah kamah loh nang ni kang khue. Pathen aw kai taengla na hna han duen lamtah ka olthui he hnatun lah.
7 Show thy marvelous loving kindness, O thou who saves by thy right hand those who take refuge from those who rise up.
Caemrhal lamkah aka ying rhoek te na bantang kut neh aka khang, na sitlohnah tah khobaerhambae la tueng.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye. Hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
Na mikhmuh ah thenhnaih nu bangla na phae hlip ah kai n'ying sak lamtah,
9 from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who encompass me around.
kai aka rhoelrhak sak halang rhoek neh, kai taengah ka hinglu aka vael ka thunkha rhoek hmai lamkah kai he n'dawndah lah.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat. With their mouth they speak proudly.
Amih te a komoelh uh, a kam a khuep uh tih hoemdamnah a thui uh.
11 They have now encompassed us in our steps. They set their eyes to cast down to the earth.
Tahae ah kaimih kah khokan te a hil uh tih amih mik loh kaimih he m'vael uh coeng. Kaimih he Diklai la aka tulh ham tawn uh.
12 He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
A mueisa mah rhamsa ngaeh ham aka moo sathueng neh sathuengca bangla a huephael ah kho a sak.
13 Arise, O Jehovah, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword,
Aw BOEIPA thoo lah, anih hmai ah khoep mah lamtah bung sak. Na cunghang neh halang kut lamkah ka hinglu he han hlah lah.
14 from men by thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of the world whose portion is in this life, and whose belly thou fill with thy treasure. They are satisfied with sons, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
BOEIPA namah kut dongkah hlang rhoek lamloh, khosaknah lamkah hlang rhoek lamloh, na hingnah dongah amih kah hamsum khaw na khoem pah tih a bung na hah sak. Ca rhoek khaw hah uh tih a coih te a camoe patoeng ham a paih uh.
15 As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy form.
Kai ngawn tah, duengnah dongah na maelhmai ka hmuh vetih, namah kah muei la ka haenghang vaengah, ngaikhuek la ka om ni.
