Psalms 68

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. God arises. His enemies are scattered, and those who hate Him flee His presence.

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Sithaw loe angthawk nasoe, anih ih misanawk loe anghaeh o phang nasoe.

2 As smoke is blown away, You will drive them out; as wax melts before the fire, the wicked will perish in the presence of God.

Takhi mah hmaikhue hmuh phaeng baktih toengah, nihcae to hmut phaeng ah; hmai pongah amkaw dui samdai baktiah, kasae kaminawk loe Sithaw hmaa ah anghma angtaa o nasoe.

3 But the righteous will be glad and rejoice before God; they will celebrate with joy.

Toe katoeng kaminawk loe anghoe o nasoe; nihcae loe Sithaw hmaa ah oep o nasoe; ue, paroeai anghoe o nasoe.

4 Sing to God! Sing praises to His name. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds — His name is the LORD— and rejoice before Him.

Sithaw khaeah laasah oh; ahmin saphawhaih laa to sah oh; tamai nuiah angthueng anih to pakoeh oh; anih ih ahmin loe YAH, anih hmaa ah anghoe oh.

5 A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in His holy habitation.

Anih loe ampa tawn ai kaminawk hanah ampa ah oh moe, lamhmainawk bomkung ah oh, Sithaw loe a ohhaih hmuenciim ah oh.

6 God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

Sithaw mah angmabueng kaom kami to imthong ah angcoengsak; thongkrah kaminawk doeh a loihsak; toe lok angaek thaih kaminawk loe prae karoem ah oh o.

7 O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched through the wasteland,

Aw Sithaw, nang loe nangmah ih kaminawk hmaa ah na caeh moe, praezaek hoi na caeh haih naah, (Selah)

8 the earth shook and the heavens poured down rain before God, the One on Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

Sithaw hmaa ah, long to anghuenh, van hoiah kho angzoh; Sinai mae loe Sithaw, Israel Sithaw hmaa ah anghuenh.

9 You sent abundant rain, O God; You refreshed Your weary inheritance.

Aw Sithaw, nangmah pop parai ah kho nang zohsak; thazai sut na qawktoep kaminawk to na bomh boeh.

10 Your flock settled therein; O God, from Your bounty You provided for the poor.

Nangmah ih kaminawk loe athung ah oh o; Aw Sithaw, na angraenghaih thung hoiah amtang kaminawk to na pacah.

11 The Lord gives the command; a great company of women proclaim it:

Angraeng mah thuih ih lok taphong kaminawk loe noih o parai:

12 “Kings and their armies flee in haste; she who waits at home divides the plunder.

siangpahrangnawk ih misatuh kaminawk loe, tawt hoiah cawnh o; im ah kaom kaminawk loe lak ih hmuenmaenawk to amzet o.

13 Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, the wings of the dove are covered with silver, and her feathers with shimmering gold.”

Nangcae loe mae salakah na iih o cadoeh, sumkanglung hoi pazut ih pahuu pakhraeh baktiah na om o ueloe, amuinawk doeh sui rong baktiah ampha tih.

14 When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land, it was like the snow falling on Zalmon.

Thacak Angraeng mah siangpahrangnawk prae thungah anghaehsak phang naah, Salmon mae nuiah dantui kanglung baktiah oh o.

15 A mountain of God is Mount Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is Mount Bashan.

Sithaw ih mae loe Bashan mae baktiah oh; kasang mae doeh Bashan mae baktiah ni oh.

16 Why do you gaze in envy, O mountains of many peaks? This is the mountain God chose for His dwelling, where the LORD will surely dwell forever.

Maesangnawk, athung ah oh hanah Sithaw mah qoih ih mae; ue, dungzan khoek to Angraeng ohhaih mae to, tih hanah uthaih hoiah na khet o loe?

17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands— thousands of thousands are they; the Lord is in His sanctuary as He was at Sinai.

Sithaw misatukhaih hrangleeng loe sang pumphaeto oh, vankaminawk loe sangto pacoeng sangto oh o; Angraeng loe nihcae salakah oh, Sinai mae loe angmah ih hmuenciim ah oh.

18 You have ascended on high; You have led captives away. You have received gifts from men, even from the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.

Nang loe hmuensang ah na dawh tahang moe, misong ah naeh ih kaminawk to na hoih tahang; ue, Angraeng Sithaw nihcae salakah oh thaih hanah, kaminawk han khue ai, angaek thaih kaminawk han doeh, tangqum to na talawk pae.

19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, the God of our salvation.

Ni thokkruek aicae ih hmuenzit phaw Angraeng, aicae pahlongkung, Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe. (Selah)

20 Our God is a God of deliverance; the Lord GOD is our rescuer from death.

Anih loe aicae ih Sithaw, pahlonghaih Sithaw ah oh; Angraeng Sithaw loe duekhaih thung hoi loihaih ah oh.

21 Surely God will crush the heads of His enemies, the hairy crowns of those who persist in guilty ways.

A misanawk ih lu, zaehaih sah kaminawk ih sam kathah lunawk to, caeh taak ai ah Sithaw mah atii tih.

22 The Lord said, “I will retrieve them from Bashan, I will bring them up from the depths of the sea,

Angraeng mah, nihcae to Bashan hoi kang zoh haih let han, kaimah ih kaminawk to kathuk tuipui thung hoiah kang hoih let han,

23 that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your foes— the tongues of your dogs in the same.”

na misanawk ih athii to khok hoiah na cawh ueloe, nang ih uinawk mah doeh athii to palaek o tih, tiah thuih.

24 They have seen Your procession, O God— the march of my God and King into the sanctuary.

Aw Sithaw, hmuenciim ah nang zohhaih to nihcae mah hnuk o boeh, ka Sithaw, ka Siangpahrang angzohhaih to nihcae mah hnuk o boeh.

25 The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.

Laasah kaminawk loe hmabang ah caeh o, katoeng tamoi congca kruek kaminawk hoi nihcae salakah cingceng bop tanglanawk loe, anih hnuk ah bang o.

26 Bless God in the great congregation; bless the LORD from the fountain of Israel.

Israel kaminawk, kami pop amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah, Sithaw to tahamhoihaih paek oh.

27 There is Benjamin, the youngest, ruling them, the princes of Judah in their company, the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.

Benjamin acaeng zetta thung hoi ih nihcae zaehoikung, Judah ih angraengnawk, Zebulun ih angraengnawk hoi Nephtali ih angraengnawk to athum o.

28 Summon Your power, O God; show Your strength, O God, which You have exerted on our behalf.

Aw Sithaw, thacaksak ah, Sithaw, kaicae khae na sak ih baktih toengah, na thacakhaih to na patuek ah.

29 Because of Your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring You gifts.

Na tempul loe Jerusalem ah oh pongah, siangpahrangnawk mah nang khaeah tangqum sin o nasoe.

30 Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations, until it submits, bringing bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.

Tuu thung ih kasan moinawk, maitaw taenawk hoi kaminawk ih maitaw caanawk to thuitaek ah, kami boih mah sumkanglung sin o nasoe loe, mi tlim ah om o nasoe; misa koeh kaminawk to anghaehsak phang ah.

31 Envoys will arrive from Egypt; Cush will stretch out her hands to God.

Laicaehnawk loe Izip prae thung hoiah angzo o tih; Ethiopia loe Sithaw khaeah ban payangh ueloe, ang paek tih.

32 Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord—

Long ih praenawk, Sithaw khaeah laasah oh; Angraeng saphawhaih laa to sah oh, (Selah)

33 to Him who rides upon the highest heavens of old; behold, His mighty voice resounds.

tangsuek hoi vannawk nui ih van angthueng, Anih khaeah, saphawhaih laa to sah oh; khenah, anih mah lok tacawtsak naah, thacak parai lok ah angcoeng.

34 Ascribe the power to God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose strength is in the skies.

Sithaw loe thacak, tiah thui oh; a lensawkhaih loe Israel caanawk nuiah oh moe, a thacakhaih doeh tamai nuiah amtueng.

35 O God, You are awesome in Your sanctuary; the God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to His people. Blessed be God!

Aw Sithaw, kaciim angmah ih hmuenciimnawk thungah kaom nang loe zitthoh; Israel Sithaw loe, angmah ih kaminawk hanah thacakhaih hoi sakthaihaih paekkung ah oh. Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe!
