Psalms 140
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men. Protect me from men of violence,
O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in, pumhat-a natong hoa kon'in neihoidohsah'in,
2 who devise evil in their hearts and stir up war all day long.
ajeh chu alung sung'uva thilse jeng agong un, beitih um louvin gal abol jiuvin ahi.
3 They sharpen their tongues like snakes; the venom of vipers is on their lips.
Alei gui-u gul in mi achuh bang in amang chauvin, athuseidoh jouseu jong gul-gu tobang ahi.
4 Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.
O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou ho khutna kon hin neihoidoh in, pumhatna natong hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in; ajeh chu kakipal lhuhna din thisle jeng agong un ahi.
5 The proud hide a snare for me; the cords of their net are spread along the path, and lures are set out for me.
Mi kiletsah hon kei matna din thang akam un, khao ajan-doh'un lampi dunga thang ei-kampeh'un ahi.
6 I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for help.
Keiman Yahweh Pakai kom'a, “Nangma hi ka Pathen Elohim nahi!” O Yahweh Pakai, khotona dinga kataona nei sanpeh tan.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You shield my head in the day of battle.
O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, athahat pan-a eihuhdoh pa; nangman gal kisat nikhoa nei huhdoh ahi.
8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not promote their evil plans, lest they be exalted.
Yahweh Pakai, migilouho adei bang'in chesah hih'in, athilse gonhou chu lolhin sahhih'in; achuti louva ahileh kiletsahna dim diu ahi.
9 May the heads of those who surround me be covered in the trouble their lips have caused.
Kagal miten kachunga thil phalou tohgon anei jal un, manthah nan lhung u-hen.
10 May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.
Meiam kong chu alu chunguvah chuhsah'in, meilah'a seplut in; ahilouleh ajamdoh louna diu twiveina kotong'ah lhalut jeng u-hen.
11 May no slanderer be established in the land; may calamity hunt down the man of violence.
Ka gamsung uva hin ajou jouva mihehse ho khantousah hihbeh'in, pumhat'a natong ho achunguva thilse chuhsah'in lang sumang in.
12 I know that the LORD upholds justice for the poor and defends the cause of the needy.
Hinlah suhgentheija umte Yahweh Pakai in asumil poi, ti kahen; Aman vaichate thu adih'a atanpeh ding ahi, ti kahei.
13 Surely the righteous will praise Your name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.
Tahbeh'in mi kitah hon namin athangvah diu, chule michonpha ho na kom'a cheng diu ahi.
