Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You.
O Yahweh Pakai, nangma kakouve, Panpi ngehna katao hi nei ngaipeh loijin!
2 May my prayer be set before You like incense, my uplifted hands like the evening offering.
Kataona hi nahenga gimnamtwi kilhut bang'in chule kakhut teni kadopsang hi nilhah lang kilhaina gantha bang'in neisanpeh tan.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.
O Yahweh Pakai, kakam'a hin kamdal neikoipeh'in. Kakam sung nei vetpeh jing in.
4 Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.
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.
5 Let the righteous man strike me; let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion. It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it. For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
Miphan eiphoh hen hichu ngailutna joh ahi! Amahon eisuhdihna chu damna ahipoi, Miphalou hon thilse abol dounan katao jinge.
6 When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.
Alamkaiteu kol'a akisot lhah tengleh, miphalou hon kathusei angaidiu chuteng dih ahinsah diu ahi.
7 As when one plows and breaks up the soil, so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Songpi akikhet keh teng tol'a akitakeh bang in, miphalou ho gule chang ho jong vui louva kithe jal ding ahi. (Sheol h7585)
8 But my eyes are fixed on You, O GOD the Lord. In You I seek refuge; do not leave my soul defenseless.
O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, panpi ngaijin na henga kataove. Nangma kakiselna kulpi nahi; amaho khut-a thina neitosah hih in.
9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, and from the lures of evildoers.
Kei ona dinga thang akam-uva kon in neihuhdoh in, thilpha lou jenga chon ho thangkol'a nei o-sah hih in.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.
Miphalou ho chu amaho thang kam-a chun oh uhen, kijam chap tauhen; keivang nei hoidoh sah'in.
