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 ti uh. 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.
