Psalms 31
1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.
David kah Tingtoenglung neh aka mawt ham. BOEIPA nang dongah ka ying tih kumhal duela yah sak boeh. Na duengnah neh kai n'hlawt lah.
2 Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.
Na hna te kai taengah rhep duen lamtah kai he tlek n'huul lah. Kai ham lunghim lungpang la, kai aka khang ham rhalvong im la om lah.
3 For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.
Nang tah ka thaelpang neh ka rhalvong ni. Te dongah namah ming ham kai nan mawt tih nan khool.
4 You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.
Namah te ka lunghim coeng dongah kai ham a tung uh lawk lamkah te nan doek.
5 Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.
Ka mueihla he na kut ah kan hlah tih oltak Pathen BOEIPA loh kai he nan lat.
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.
A poeyoek la a honghi aka ngaithuen khaw ka hmuhuet tih kai tah BOEIPA ni ka pangtung.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your loving devotion, for You have seen my affliction; You have known the anguish of my soul.
Namah kah sitlohnah neh kai kah phacip phabaem te nan hmuh tih ka hinglu kah citcai te nan ming dongah ka omngaih vetih ka kohoe ni.
8 You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.
Te dongah kai he thunkha kut ah nan tloeng mueh la ka kho he a hoengpoeknah ah nan sut.
9 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.
Konoinah dongah ka mik, ka hinglu neh ka bungko hmawn tih puen ka cak dongah kai n'rhen dae BOEIPA.
10 For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.
Ka hingnah he kothae loh a ngawn tih ka hueinah neh ka kum thok. Kamah kathaesainah dongah ka thadueng yaai tih ka rhuh hmawn. Te vaengah tol long ah kai aka hmu kamah hmaiben rhoek te kai lamloh birhihnah neh yong uh.
11 Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends— they flee when they see me on the street.
Kamah puencak dongah hlang boeih neh ka imben kah kokhahnah la mat ka om.
12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
Duek tangtae bangla a lungbuei ah kai n'hnilh. Am poo bangla ka om.
13 For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
theetnah he kaepvai ah rhihnah la muep ka yaak. Amih te kai soah tingtun tih, ka hinglu loh hamla a mangtaeng uh.
14 But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
Tedae kai tah BOEIPA nang dongah ka pangtung tih nang te ka Pathen ni ka ti.
15 My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.
Ka khohnin he na kut dongah om. Ka thunkha kut neh kai aka hloem kut lamkah kai n'huul lah.
16 Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.
Na sal taengah na maelhmai te han sae sak lah. Na sitlohnah neh kai n'khang lah.
17 O LORD, let me not be ashamed, for I have called on You. Let the wicked be put to shame; let them lie silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
BOEIPA nang kan khue vaengah yah m'poh sak boeh. Halang rhoek te yahpok saeh lamtah saelkhui la duem uh saeh. (Sheol h7585)
18 May lying lips be silenced— lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.
Hlang dueng te hoemnah neh nueihbu la a hong aka thui mangkhak rhoek loh a kam khom saeh.
19 How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!
Namah aka rhih rhoek ham na khoem pah tih hlang capa rhoek hmuh ah namah dongla aka ying rhoek ham na saii pah na thennah he bahoeng len.
20 You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal them in Your shelter from accusing tongues.
Hlang kah tangkhuepnah lamkah na hmai kah a huephael ah amih te na thuh. Tuituknah ol lamkah pohlip ah amih te na khoem.
21 Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.
Khopuei vongup khuiah kai ham a sitlohnah khobaerhambae la a tueng dongah BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai.
22 In my alarm I said, “I am cut off from Your sight!” But You heard my plea for mercy when I called to You for help.
Te dongah ka tamto vaengah, “Na mikhmuh lamkah ka pat coeng,” ka ti. Tedae namah taengla ka pang vaengah ka huithuinah ol nan yaak.
23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.
Amah kah hlangcim rhoek boeih loh BOEIPA te lungnah uh lah. Oltak te BOEIPA loh a kueinah tih hoemnah aka saii te a khawk la a thuung.
24 Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.
BOEIPA dongah aka ngaiuep boeih loh thahuel uh lamtah na thinko cak sakuh.
