Psalms 142

1 A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A prayer. I cry aloud to the LORD; I lift my voice to the LORD for mercy.

Kathutkung: Devit, Lungngoum thung aonae koehoi a sak e Kai teh, BAWIPA koevah ka hram. BAWIPA koe hram laihoi ka kâhei.

2 I pour out my complaint before Him; I reveal my trouble to Him.

Na hma lah ka phuenangnae ka pâpho teh, ka reithainae hai a hmalah ka dei pouh.

3 Although my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way. Along the path I travel they have hidden a snare for me.

Ka muitha ni ka thungvah a puen toteh, Bawipa nang dueng ni doeh kaie lamthung teh na panue. Taminaw ni ka dawn e lamthung dawkvah, tangkam hah arulahoi a patûng awh.

4 Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

Aranglah na khet teh na panue. Kai na kapanuekkhaikung apihai awm hoeh. Ka yawng nahane lam hai awm hoeh. Ka hringnae kapasaikung hai awm hoeh.

5 I cry to You, O LORD: “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

Oe BAWIPA kai teh nang koe vah ka hramki toe. Nang teh kai ni kângue e lah na o teh, kahringnaw onae ram dawk kaie kaham lah ao telah kai ni ka dei.

6 Listen to my cry, for I am brought quite low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are too strong for me.

Kai ni ka hram e lawk hah na thai pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh puenghoi runae ka kâhmo toe. Kai na karektapnaw kut dawk hoi na hlout sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh kai hlak a tha ao awh.

7 Free my soul from prison, that I may praise Your name. The righteous will gather around me because of Your goodness to me.

Bawipa nange min ka pholen thai nahanelah kai hah thongim thung hoi na rasat haw. Hottelah hawinae na sak toteh, tami kalannaw ni kai hah na kalup awh han.
