< Psalms 64 >

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Pathen aw ka kohuetnah ol he han ya lah. Thunkha kah birhihnah lamloh ka hingnah he hang kueinah lah.
2 Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,
Thaehuet rhoek kah baecenol neh, boethae aka saii rhoihui kut lamkah, kai nan thuh.
3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,
A lai te cunghang bangla haat tih, a ol khaa te thaltang la a nuen uh.
4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.
A cuemthuek te a huephael lamloh a nuen tih, anih te buengrhuet a kah uh khaw rhih uh pawh.
5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.
Ol thae doek ham amamih thaphoh uh thae tih, “Hlaeh tung uh sih lamtah unim aka hmuh ve?,” a ti uh.
6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.
Dumlai khaw a phuelhthaih uh tih, “Poeknah he khak n'uep coeng,” a tiuh. Te dongah hlang kah lungbuei khui he, a dung la om.
7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.
Tedae amih te Pathen loh thaltang neh a kah buengrhuet vetih, hmasoe la om uh ni.
8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.
Te vaengah amamih kah olka a tongtah uh te, aka hmuh boeih loh yong uh ni.
9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.
Tedae hlang tom loh a rhih uh vaengah, Pathen kah a bisai te a thui uh vetih, a khoboe te a lungming puei uh ni.
10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
Aka dueng te BOEIPA ah a kohoe saeh lamtah amah dongah ying saeh. Lungbuei aka thuem boeih khaw thangthen uh saeh.
