Psalms 27

1 Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread?

David ih Saam laa. Angraeng loe ka hmaithaw hoi ka pahlonghaih ah oh; mi maw ka zit han vop? Angraeng loe ka hinghaih tha ah oh, mi maw ka zit bae han vop?

2 When the wicked came upon me to devour my flesh, my enemies and foes stumbled and fell.

Ka ngan caak hanah, kasae kaminawk kai khaeah angzoh o naah, amthaek o moe, amtimh o.

3 Though an army encamps around me, my heart will not fear; though a war breaks out against me, I will keep my trust.

Misatuh kaminawk mah na takui o khoep cadoeh, ka palung mah zithaih tawn mak ai: misatuk han angzo o cadoeh, angoephaih palungthin to ka tawnh.

4 One thing I have asked of the LORD; this is what I desire: to dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and seek Him in His temple.

Angraeng kranghoihaih to ka hnuk moe, anih ih tempul thungah ka oh pacoengah, ka hing thung Angraeng imthung ah ka oh thai hanah, ka koeh ih hmuen maeto Angraeng khaeah ka hnik boeh.

5 For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high upon a rock.

Raihaih phak naah anih mah angmah ih im ah kai na buepsak tih: angmah ih kahni imthung ah na hawk ueloe, lungsong nuiah anghnusak tih.

6 Then my head will be held high above my enemies around me. At His tabernacle I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.

Vaihi kai takui khoep ka misanawk nuiah ka lu hae atoeng tahang tih: to pongah angmah ih kahni imthung ah anghoe angbawnhaih to ka sak han: laa ka sak han, ue, Angraeng khaeah pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.

7 Hear, O LORD, my voice when I call; be merciful and answer me.

Aw Angraeng, kang kawkhaih lok hae na pathim paeh: na tahmen ah loe na pathim pae raeh.

8 My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O LORD, I will seek.

Ka krang hae pakrong oh, tiah na thuih naah, ka palung mah nang khaeah, Angraeng, na krang ni ka pakrong han, tiah thuih.

9 Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Na mikhmai hawk ving hmah loe, palungphuihaih hoiah na tamna hae haek ving hmah: Aw Sithaw, ka pahlonghaih, kai abomkung loe nang ni; na pahnawt sut hmah loe, na caeh taak hmah.

10 Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.

Kam pa hoi kam no mah kai pahnawt sut naah, Angraeng mah kai na talawk tih.

11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors.

Aw Angraeng, na loklam to patuek ah; ka misanawk pongah katoeng loklam ah na caeh haih ah.

12 Do not hand me over to the will of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, breathing out violence.

Amsawnlok thui kaminawk hoi tahmenhaih tawn ai poeksae kaminawk loe, kai han misa angthawk o thuih pongah, ka misanawk koehhaih baktiah kai hae nihcae khaeah paek hmah.

13 Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Kahing kaminawk ih prae ah, Angraeng hoihhaih to ka hnu tih, tiah tanghaih ka tawn ai nahaeloe, ka palung thazok tih boeh.

14 Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!

Angraeng to zing ah: thazok hmah, to tiah nahaeloe anih mah na poekhaih palungthin to thacaksak tih. Angraeng to mah zing ah.
