Psalms 71
1 In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
Aw Angraeng, nang thungah ni kang hawk; natuek naah doeh azathaih na tongsak hmah.
2 In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
Na toenghaih hoi pahlong ah loe, na loisak ah; kai khaeah na naa to patueng ah loe, na pahlong ah.
3 Be my rock of refuge, where I can always go. Give the command to save me, for You are my rock and my fortress.
Ka phak thaihaih ahmuen kruekah, ka buephaih ah om ah; nang loe ka lungsong hoi kang vaenghaih ah na oh pongah, kai pahlong hanah lok na paek boeh.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
Aw ka Sithaw, kami zaenawk ih ban thung hoiah pahlong ah, katoeng ai kami hoi hmawsaeng kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah na pahlong ah.
5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
Aw Angraeng Sithaw, nang loe ka oephaih akung pui ah na oh; ka thendoeng nathuem hoi boeh ni nang loe kang oephaih ah na oh.
6 I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
Ka tapen tangsuek nathuem hoi nang khaeah kam ha boeh; nang mah ni kam no zok thung hoiah nang lak. Nang loe dungzan ah kang pakoeh han.
7 I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
Kai loe kanoih kaminawk dawnrai han koi ah ni ka oh; toe nang loe kacak ka buephaih ah na oh.
8 My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
Ka pakha loe athun qui nang pakoehhaih, na lensawkhaih hoiah koi nasoe.
9 Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
Kai mitong naah na pahnawt sut hmah; ka thaboeng naah na caeh taak hmah.
10 For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
Ka misanawk loe kai aekhaih lok to thuih o; ka hinghaih patoem kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o,
11 saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
anih loe Sithaw mah pahnawt sut boeh; patom oh loe naeh oh; anih bomkung mi doeh om ai boeh, tiah a thuih o.
12 Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
Aw Sithaw, kangthla ah na om taak ving hmah; aw ka Sithaw, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo ah!
13 May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
Ka hinghaih misa ah poek kaminawk loe azathaih hoiah anghma angtaa o nasoe; kai nganbawh kana paek han pakrong kaminawk loe pronghaih hoi ahminsethaih mah kraeng khoep nasoe.
14 But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
Toe kai loe oephaih ka tawnh poe pongah, nang to kang pakoeh aep aep han.
15 My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
Nazetto maw tiah ka panoek ai cadoeh, ka pakha mah na toenghaih hoi na pahlonghaih to ni thokkruek thui tih.
16 I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw thacakhaih hoiah ka caeh, na toenghaih khue ni ka thuih han.
17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
Aw Sithaw, ka thendoeng nathuem hoiah nang patuk boeh; na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to vaihni khoek to ka thuih.
18 Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
Aw Sithaw, kai loe vaihi mitong boeh, na thacakhaih to sampok khoek to, vaihi dung ih kaminawk khaeah ka thuih moe, na sakthaihaih to angzo han koi kaminawk khaeah ka thui ai karoek to, na pahnawt sut hmah.
19 Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
Aw Sithaw, kalen parai hmuennawk sahkung, na toenghaih loe van khoek to phak; Aw Sithaw, nang baktih mi maw kaom?
20 Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
Kalen parai raihaih to nang patuek boeh; nang mah nang hingsak let ueloe, kathuk long thung hoiah kai nang thawksak let tih.
21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
Kai khosak hoihhaih to pungsak ueloe, na pathloep let tih.
22 So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
Aw ka Sithaw, nang hoi na loktang lok to katoeng hoiah kang pakoeh han; aw Israelnawk ih Ciimcai Sithaw, katoeng kruekhaih hoiah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
23 When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
Nang khaeah laa ka sak naah, ka palainawk anghoe o ueloe, na krang ih ka hinghaih doeh anghoe tih.
24 My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
Ni thokkruek ka palai mah na toenghaih to thui tih; kai nganbawh kana paek hanah pakrong kaminawk loe, azathaih to tongh o moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o sut boeh.
