Psalms 18
1 For the choirmaster. Of David the servant of the LORD, who sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love You, O LORD, my strength.
Keiman nangma kangailui Yahweh Pakai; Nangma hi kathahatna nahi.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Yahweh Pakai hi kasongpi, kakulpi, chuleh eihuhhingpu ahin, Elohim ka Pathen hi kasongpi ahin eiveng tup jing ahi. Amahi kalumdal, eihuhhinga thahat chu ahin, chuleh kahoidohna munpi chu ahi.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
Keiman thangvah dinga lomtah Yahweh Pakai chu kakouvin, aman kamelmatea konnin eihuhdoh'in ahi.
4 The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
Thina khoisatna chun eiumkimvel tan, manthahna twipi chun eichup tan ahi.
Damun lungkhamna chun eiumkimvelin, kalampi a thinan thang akam e. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.
Ka lungkham val phatnin Yahweh Pakai chu kakouvin, Elohim ka Pathen komma chun panpi ngaichan kataovin Aman ahouin thenga konnin kataona asangin ahi.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
Hi jouchun leiset akilingin akihot e. Molbul ho jeng jong kihot e ajeh chu Elohim Pathen lunghang a ahi.
8 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
Yahweh Pakai nah hom a meikhu ahung potdoh in, meikou gimneitah akam a konnin ahungkou doh'in chuleh Mei-am al lenglung Ama-a konnin ahung koudoh'in ahi.
9 He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
Aman vanho chu ahongdoh'in meilom thimletlut chu ahin chotphan ahung kumsuh in,
10 He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
Yahweh Pakai chu vantil pipui khat chunga atouvin, huipi chu alhavingin amangin alengin ahi.
11 He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.
Yahweh Pakai chu muthim in ahung kitom in, meilom twi jingletlut pumin ahung lhungin ahi.
12 From the brightness of His presence His clouds advanced— hailstones and coals of fire.
Yahweh Pakai vah'in ahintom chu meilom satah'in ahinkhu khum in gelchang le mei-am chu gojuh'in ahung julhan ahi.
13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded— hailstones and coals of fire.
Yahweh Pakai chu vanna konnin ahung kisen in hatchungnung ogin chu gelchang leh mei-am koulah achun akithongin ahi.
14 He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
Aman athalpi ahin kapmin agalmiho chu athe cheh'in, avah em lahlah chun amaho chu asuboi gamtan ahi.
15 The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
O Yahweh Pakai nangin nagalmi ho napho a lunghangtah a nakisen chun twikhanglen ato geijin akikangin, leiset bulpi jouse jong akeuvin aumjie.
16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
Aman vanna konnin akhut ahin lhangin eihin kaidoh'in, twipi thuh lah'a kon in jong eikaidoh'in ahi.
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
Aman kagalmi hattah tah ho a konin eihuh doh in, kasang a hatjo ka dougal hoa kon in eihuhdoh'in ahi.
18 They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
Hahsatna kato pettah'in amahon eihin delkhum un ahinlah Yahweh Pakai in eipanpin ahi.
19 He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
Aman kahoidohna mun nah eipuilut in eihuhdoh tai ajeh chu ama kipana kahi.
20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
Yahweh Pakai in thildih kaboljeh in kipaman eipen mona kaneilou jeh'in eikiledohsah tai.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Keiman Yahweh Pakai lampi kajui in, thilse lam jon'in Elohim Pathen'a kon'in kakiheimang poi.
22 For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
Keiman Yahweh Pakai chonphatna lampi kajui jingin, a Dan thupeh ho kapaidoh khapoi.
23 And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
Elohim Pathen masangah nolnabei kahin, chonsetna kon'in kaki kangse jing e.
24 So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
Yahweh Pakai in thildih kaboljeh in Aman kipaman eipejin ahi. Aman themmonabei kahi amui.
25 To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
Mikitah kom'ah nangmatah jong nakitah'in, monabei ho kom'ah monabei nahi.
26 to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
Milungtheng ho kom'ah nalungtheng in ahinlah miphalouho kom'ah nakhohjin ahi.
27 For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.
Nangin mikineosah ho nahuhdohjin ahinla mikiletsah ho nasujumjin ahi.
28 For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.
Nangin thaomei neidetpeh'in, Yahweh Pakai, Elohim ka Pathen'in kamuthim jong neisalvah peh e.
29 For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.
Nangma hatna chun kagalmi hi neisuhchip peh'in Elohim ka Pathen toh kapankhom poupou leh itobang bang sang hijongleh kakal ngapchan ahi.
30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
Elohim Pathen lampi chu nolnabei ahi! Yahweh Pakai kitepna jouse alolhing jinge. Amahi ahuhdoh ding ngaicha jouse dinga lum le pho ahi.
31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
Yahweh Pakai tailou pathen dang um'am? Elohim Pathen tailou songpi det dang um'am?
32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.
Hiche Elohim Pathen hin eihatdoh sah'in kalampi jong hoibitnapen ahisah ahi.
33 He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
Aman molsang hahsa chung dunga kadindet theina din kakeng jong sakhi keng bang'in atah sah e.
34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
Aman kakhut teni jong galsatna a manthei dingin agongin, kabanjang jong sum-eng thalpi loithei dingin ahatsah'in ahi.
35 You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.
Nangman nagaljona lum chu neipetan nabanjetnin neipanhun ahi. Neikithopina hin eithupi sah'in ahi.
36 You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
Nang man kakeng phang tenin alhonal louna dingin kalampi neikehlet peh'in ahi.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
Keiman kagalmite kadel'in kaman'in ahi; amahohi kajo kahsen katangpon ahi.
38 I crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
Amahohi ahung ki thodoh jou louna diuvin kasat lhun kakeng noijah akijammun ahi.
39 You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
Nangin kagalsatna dingin thahatnan neivon in; Nangman kagalmite chu kakengphang noi a neikoipeh e.
40 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
Nangin angongchang'u neichotpha sah'in eivetda ho jouse chu kasumang sohtan ahi.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
Amahon panpi athummun koiman ahung huhdoh pouve. Amahon Yahweh Pakai akouvun ahinla Aman adonbut pon ahi.
42 I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them like mud in the streets.
Keiman amaho chu huilah a vutvai kithethang bangin tol ah kagoibong sel'in, bonlhoh lah'a kasunat gamatai.
43 You have delivered me from the strife of the people; You have made me the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
Nangin eihouse jing ho chungah galjona neipetan ahi. Nangin namtin vaipi chungah vaihom'in neipansah tan ahi. Kanahet phahlou miho jeng jong kalhachan ahungpang tauvin ahi.
44 When they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cower before me.
Kamin ajah jah'un kanoijah alut un gamchommi hojeng jong ka-anga akisunem gamtauvin ahi.
45 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
Hansanna aneijou tapouvin kithing pumpum'in ka-ang ahinbel tauvin ahi.
46 The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—
Yahweh Pakai ahing jinge, kasongpia apanjeh'in kathangvah e! Ka sochatna Elohim ka Pathen chu loupi jing tahen!
47 the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,
Amahi eibolse ho lethuh jinga Elohim ka Pathen chu ahin, aman namtin vaipi hi eisuhnem peh'in kanoijah eikoipeh tai.
48 who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
Chuleh kagalmitea konnin eihuhdoh'in nangman kagalmiten aphah joulouna munnah neikoijin, eidouva mi-engse hoa konnin neihoidohsah tan ahi.
49 Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
Hichejeh hin O Yahweh Pakai namtin vaipi lah'a nathangvah ingkate, na min vahchoinan la sang nge.
50 Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
Nangin leng a natun pa din goljona loupitah chu napetai; Chuleh nathaonupa David leh achilhahte chunga nalungset longlou namusah e.
