Psalms 21

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!

[Aka mawt ham David kah tingtoenglung] BOEIPA nang kah sarhi dongah manghai a kohoe tih, namah kah khangnah dongah bahoeng omngaih.

2 You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

Anih ham a lungbuei kah a ngaihlihnah khaw na doo tih, a hmuilai kah a kueknah te na hloh pah pawh. (Selah)

3 For You welcomed him with rich blessings; You placed on his head a crown of pure gold.

Anih te yoethennah then neh na doe tih a lu ah suicilh rhuisam na khueh pah.

4 He asked You for life, and You granted it— length of days, forever and ever.

Namah taengkah hingnah ham bih vaengah anih ham kumhal ah khohnin na puh sak tih na paek yoeyah.

5 Great is his glory in Your salvation; You bestow on him splendor and majesty.

Nang kah khangnah lamloh a thangpomnah tanglue tih, mueithennah neh rhuepomnah te anih dongah na hal coeng.

6 For You grant him blessings forever; You cheer him with joy in Your presence.

Anih te yoethennah na paek yoeyah dongah namah hmai kah kohoenah neh a ko na hoe sak.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD; through the loving devotion of the Most High, he will not be shaken.

Te dongah manghai loh BOEIPA dongah pangtung tih, Khohni kah sitlohnah rhang neh tuen voel mahpawh.

8 Your hand will apprehend all Your enemies; Your right hand will seize those who hate You.

Na thunkha boeih te na kut loh a hmuh vetih, na lunguet rhoek khaw na bantang kut loh a tuuk bitni.

9 You will place them in a fiery furnace at the time of Your appearing. In His wrath the LORD will engulf them, and the fire will consume them.

Namah na phoe tue vaengah amih te hmaipom hmai bangla na khueh bitni. BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh amih te a dolh vetih hmai loh a hlawp ni.

10 You will wipe their descendants from the earth, and their offspring from the sons of men.

Amih kah a thaihtae te diklai lamkah, amih kah tiingan khaw hlang capa rhoek khui lamkah na milh sak ni.

11 Though they intend You harm, the schemes they devise will not prevail.

Nang taengah tangkhuepnah a thae la moeh uh tih n'taeng uh dae a phu uh hae moenih.

12 For You will put them to flight when Your bow is trained upon them.

Tedae na liva neh amih maelhmai te na nuen vaengah amih te a hnuk la na rhoe bitni.

13 Be exalted, O LORD, in Your strength; we will sing and praise Your power.

BOEIPA te pomsang pai saeh. Na sarhi te ka hlai uh vetih na thayung thamal te ka tingtoeng uh ni.
