Psalms 31
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. In you, LORD, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, nang doeh na kâuep. Kaya hoi na awm sak hanh. Na lannae hoi na rungngang haw.
2 Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
Kai koelah na hnâpakeng nateh, karanglah na rungngang haw. Ka kâhronae lungsong hoi rungngang nahanlah ngangnae rapan lah awm haw.
3 For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh ka lungsong hoi ka kâhronae lah na o. Hatdawkvah, na min kecu dawk na hrawi nateh, na patue haw.
4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
Kai hanlah, arulahoi a phai awh e tamlawk dawk hoi na rasat haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh ka thaonae doeh.
5 Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.
Oe BAWIPA, lawkkatang Cathut, na kut dawk ka muitha ka hruek.
6 I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in the LORD.
Cungkeihoehe meikaphawk alawkpui lah kahruengnaw hah ka hmuhma. Hatei, kai teh BAWIPA ka kâuep.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
Na pahrennae lahoi, ka konawm vaiteh, ka lung pou ahawi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka runae hah ouk na hmu pouh. Runae thung ka hringnae hah na panue.
8 You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
Taran kut dawk na poe laipalah, A hmuen kawnae koe ka khok hah ouk na hruek.
9 Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
Oe BAWIPA, na pahren haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae thungvah ka o. Ka lungmathoe lawi ka mit koung a ro toe. Bokheiyah, ka muitha hoi ka takthai totouh a ro toe.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae heh lungmathoenae hoi koung ka hno toe. Kum moikasawlah ka cingou. Ka payonnae ni ka thaonae a baw sak. Ka hru hai koung a hmawn toe.
11 Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
Ka tarannaw ni pathoe hanelah doeh ka o. A lawkpui lah, ka imrinaw hanelah hoe ka o. Ka hui kahawi ni na panuet teh, lam dawk na ka hmawt e ni na yawng takhai.
12 I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
Tami kadout patetlah pahnim lah ka o teh, ampaikei patetlah ka o.
13 For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami moikapap ni a dei awh e ka thai. A hmuen tangkuem takinae ao. Ka hringnae la hanelah kâcai laihoi a kamkhueng awh teh, kho a khan awh.
14 But I trust in you, LORD. I said, “You are my God.”
Hatei, Oe BAWIPA, kai ni teh nang doeh na kâuep. Ka Cathut doeh ka ti.
15 My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
Kaie tuengnaw teh na kut dawk ao. Ka tarannaw kut dawk hoi, na kapahuipalamnaw kut dawk hoi, na rungngang haw.
16 Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
Na san koe na mei ang naseh. Na pahrennae lahoi na rungngang lawiseh.
17 Let me not be disappointed, LORD, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol (Sheol h7585).
Oe BAWIPA, kaya hoi na awm sak hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh na kaw toe. Tamikathoutnaw teh, kaya laihoi phuen vah duem awm awh naseh. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
Tamikalannaw taran lahoi, kâoupnae, hoi matheng laihoi laithoe deinae pahni teh, lawkkamuem lah o sak lah awm seh.
19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!
Oe nang kataketnaw hanelah, na pâkhueng e hoi tami capanaw mithmu vah, nang kâuepnaw hanelah, na noe e na hawinae hah banghloimaw a bawilen.
20 In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
Taminaw e arulahoi khokhangnae thung hoi, hlout sak nahanelah, ahnimanaw teh, na onae koe na hmalah na hro han. Tamthoe kadeinaw e lai dawk hoi na rungngang vaiteh, na rim dawk na hro han.
21 Praise be to the LORD, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
BAWIPA teh pholen lah awm seh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kângairu a pahrennae teh, kacakpounge khopui dawk na hmu sak.
22 As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh na mithmu vah, tâkhawng lah yo ka o toe telah tang ka dei. Hatei, ka hram teh pahrennae ka hei e lawk hah na thai.
23 Oh love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
Oe tamikathoungnaw pueng, BAWIPA teh lungpataw awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni yuemkamcu e hah a khetyawt teh, kâoupnaw hah moi a pathung.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.
BAWIPA kâuepnaw pueng, tarankahawi lah awm awh, na lungthin a thao sak han.
