Psalms 64

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.

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 Keep me safe from the secret purpose of wrongdoers; from the band of the workers of evil;

Thaehuet rhoek kah baecenol neh, boethae aka saii rhoihui kut lamkah, kai nan thuh.

3 Who make their tongues sharp like a sword, and whose arrows are pointed, even bitter words;

A lai te cunghang bangla haat tih, a ol khaa te thaltang la a nuen uh.

4 So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.

A cuemthuek te a huephael lamloh a nuen tih, anih te buengrhuet a kah uh khaw rhih uh pawh.

5 They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,

Ol thae doek ham amamih thaphoh uh thae tih, “Hlaeh tung uh sih lamtah unim aka hmuh ve?,” a ti uh.

6 Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.

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 sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.

Tedae amih te Pathen loh thaltang neh a kah buengrhuet vetih, hmasoe la om uh ni.

8 The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.

Te vaengah amamih kah olka a tongtah uh te, aka hmuh boeih loh yong uh ni.

9 And in fear men make public the works of God; and giving thought to his acts they get wisdom.

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 The upright will be glad in the Lord and have hope in him; and all the lovers of righteousness will give him glory.

Aka dueng te BOEIPA ah a kohoe saeh lamtah amah dongah ying saeh. Lungbuei aka thuem boeih khaw thangthen uh saeh.
