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.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, nang doeh na kâuep. Kaya hoi na awm sak hanh. Na lannae hoi na rungngang haw.
2 Incline Your ear to me; come quickly to my rescue. Be my rock of refuge, the stronghold of my deliverance.
Kai koelah na hnâpakeng nateh, karanglah na rungngang haw. Ka kâhronae lungsong hoi rungngang nahanlah ngangnae rapan lah awm haw.
3 For You are my rock and my fortress; lead me and guide me for the sake of Your name.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh ka lungsong hoi ka kâhronae lah na o. Hatdawkvah, na min kecu dawk na hrawi nateh, na patue haw.
4 You free me from the net laid out for me, for You are my refuge.
Kai hanlah, arulahoi a phai awh e tamlawk dawk hoi na rasat haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh ka thaonae doeh.
5 Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD, God of truth.
Oe BAWIPA, lawkkatang Cathut, na kut dawk ka muitha ka hruek.
6 I hate those who cling to worthless idols, but in the LORD I trust.
Cungkeihoehe meikaphawk alawkpui lah kahruengnaw hah ka hmuhma. Hatei, kai teh BAWIPA ka kâuep.
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.
Na pahrennae lahoi, ka konawm vaiteh, ka lung pou ahawi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka runae hah ouk na hmu pouh. Runae thung ka hringnae hah na panue.
8 You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.
Taran kut dawk na poe laipalah, A hmuen kawnae koe ka khok hah ouk na hruek.
9 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.
Oe BAWIPA, na pahren haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae thungvah ka o. Ka lungmathoe lawi ka mit koung a ro toe. Bokheiyah, ka muitha hoi ka takthai totouh a ro toe.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae heh lungmathoenae hoi koung ka hno toe. Kum moikasawlah ka cingou. Ka payonnae ni ka thaonae a baw sak. Ka hru hai koung a hmawn toe.
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.
Ka tarannaw ni pathoe hanelah doeh ka o. A lawkpui lah, ka imrinaw hanelah hoe ka o. Ka hui kahawi ni na panuet teh, lam dawk na ka hmawt e ni na yawng takhai.
12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
Tami kadout patetlah pahnim lah ka o teh, ampaikei patetlah ka o.
13 For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami moikapap ni a dei awh e ka thai. A hmuen tangkuem takinae ao. Ka hringnae la hanelah kâcai laihoi a kamkhueng awh teh, kho a khan awh.
14 But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
Hatei, Oe BAWIPA, kai ni teh nang doeh na kâuep. Ka Cathut doeh ka ti.
15 My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.
Kaie tuengnaw teh na kut dawk ao. Ka tarannaw kut dawk hoi, na kapahuipalamnaw kut dawk hoi, na rungngang haw.
16 Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.
Na san koe na mei ang naseh. Na pahrennae lahoi na rungngang lawiseh.
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)
Oe BAWIPA, kaya hoi na awm sak hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh na kaw toe. Tamikathoutnaw teh, kaya laihoi phuen vah duem awm awh naseh. (Sheol h7585)
18 May lying lips be silenced— lips that speak with arrogance against the righteous, full of pride and contempt.
Tamikalannaw taran lahoi, kâoupnae, hoi matheng laihoi laithoe deinae pahni teh, lawkkamuem lah o sak lah awm seh.
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!
Oe nang kataketnaw hanelah, na pâkhueng e hoi tami capanaw mithmu vah, nang kâuepnaw hanelah, na noe e na hawinae hah banghloimaw a bawilen.
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.
Taminaw e arulahoi khokhangnae thung hoi, hlout sak nahanelah, ahnimanaw teh, na onae koe na hmalah na hro han. Tamthoe kadeinaw e lai dawk hoi na rungngang vaiteh, na rim dawk na hro han.
21 Blessed be the LORD, for He has shown me His loving devotion in a city under siege.
BAWIPA teh pholen lah awm seh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kângairu a pahrennae teh, kacakpounge khopui dawk na hmu sak.
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.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh na mithmu vah, tâkhawng lah yo ka o toe telah tang ka dei. Hatei, ka hram teh pahrennae ka hei e lawk hah na thai.
23 Love the LORD, all His saints. The LORD preserves the faithful, but fully repays the arrogant.
Oe tamikathoungnaw pueng, BAWIPA teh lungpataw awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni yuemkamcu e hah a khetyawt teh, kâoupnaw hah moi a pathung.
24 Be strong and courageous, all you who hope in the LORD.
BAWIPA kâuepnaw pueng, tarankahawi lah awm awh, na lungthin a thao sak han.
