Psalms 71
1 In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, nang doeh na kâuep. Kaya hoi na awm sak hanh.
2 In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear and save me.
Na lannae hoi na rungngang nateh, na hlout sak haw. Kai koe lah na hnâpakeng nateh na rungngang haw.
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.
Kai ni pou ka pâtam teh ka onae lungsong lah awm haw. Kai rungngang hanelah kâ na poe teh, kaie lungsong, kaie rapan lah na o.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
Oe ka Cathut, tamikathout kut dawk hoi thoseh, tamikalanhoehe hoi tamitongthoe kut dawk hoi thoseh, na rungngang haw.
5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, oe Bawipa Jehovah, nang teh ka camo nahoi na kâuep e lah na o.
6 I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
Pek ka khe hoi na kuet teh, nang teh anu von thung hoi na ka lat e lah na o. Nang teh pou na pholen han.
7 I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
Tami moikapap kângai karusakkung lah ka o. Hatei, nang teh kacake kânguenae doeh.
8 My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
Ka pahni teh nang pholennae hoi akawi teh, hnintangkuem nange pholennae hoi kawi naseh.
9 Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
Ka matawng toteh na hnoun hanh lah a. Ka tha a youn toteh na cettakhai hanh lah a.
10 For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tarannaw ni na pathoe awh. Kai thei han a ngai awh dawkvah, pouknae a kâpoe awh teh, na pawp awh.
11 saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
Cathut ni a ceitakhai toe. Pâlei awh nateh man awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka rungngang hane awm hoeh telah ati awh.
12 Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
Oe Cathut, na hlat takhai hanh. Oe ka Cathut, karanglah na kabawm haw.
13 May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
Ka hringnae ka tarannaw hah kayayeirai hoi rawknae koe phat awh naseh. Runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah pahuipalamnae hoi yeiraiponae ni ramuk awh naseh.
14 But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
Hatei, pou ka ngaihawi vaiteh, hoehoe ka pholen han.
15 My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
Ka pahni ni na lannae a dei vaiteh, na rungngangnae heh hnintangkuem a hramkhai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungmanae parei teh baw thai hoeh.
16 I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
Bawipa Jehovah, thaonae dawk ka cei han. Na lannae nange lannae dueng doeh ka dei han.
17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
Oe Cathut, ka camo nah hoi na cangkhai toe, Atu totouh kângairu hno na sak e hah ka pâpho.
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.
Sekatha taminaw hoi ka tâcawt hane naw koe na thaonae hoi na hnotithainae ka pâpho hoeh roukrak, ka matawng teh ka sam a po toteh, Oe Cathut na cettakhai hanh.
19 Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
Oe Cathut, na lannae hai a rasang poung. Oe Cathut, hnokalen kasakkung, nang patetlah apimouh ouk kaawm va.
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 ni teh ka patawpoung e runae na kâhmosakkung nang ni na roung sak nateh, kadung poung e talai thung hoi bout na rasat haw.
21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
Ka tawntanae na pung sak vaiteh, lung bout na pahawi han.
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.
Tamawi hoi na pholen han. Oe Cathut, yuemkamcu lah na onae hah ka pholen han. Oe Isarel e Kathoung Cathut, ratoung hoi la sak laihoi na pholen han.
23 When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
Nang pholen laihoi la ka sak toteh, ka pahni teh a lunghawi katang han. Na ratang e ka hringnae hai a lunghawi han.
24 My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
Ka lai ni hai kanîruirui pout laipalah na lannae a dei han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah lungpout laihoi yeiraipo sak lah ao toe.
