Psalms 28
1 [A Psalm] of David. To thee, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest thou be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
[David kah] Kai kah lungpang, BOEIPA nang te kan khue. Kai taengah olmueh boeh. Kai hamla na ngam vetih tangrhom ah aka suntla neh n'thuidoek ve.
2 Hearken to the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy temple.
Nang taengah bomnah ka bih vaengah, namah hmuencim kah cangimphu benla kut ka dawn vaengah ka huithui ol he han ya lah.
3 Draw not away my soul with sinners, and destroy me not with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbours, but evils are in their hearts.
Halang tih boethae aka saii rhoek neh kai he hmaih n'sol boeh. A hui taengah rhoepnah a thui dae a thinko khuiah thae.
4 Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompense unto them.
Amih a bisai neh a khoboe thaenah vanbangla amih ham khueh pah. A kut bibi vanbangla amih neh aka tiing te hmoel lamtah amih taengah pae.
5 Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.
BOEIPA kah thaphu neh a kut dongkah bibi a yakming uh pawt dongah amih te a koengloeng vetih koep suem mahpawh.
6 Blessed be the Lord, for he has hearkened to the voice of my petition.
Ka huithuinah ol a yaak dongah BOEIPA te a yoethen saeh.
7 The Lord is my helper and my defender; my heart has hoped in him, and I am helped: my flesh has revived, and willingly will I give praise to him.
BOEIPA tah ka sarhi neh ka photling ni. Amah te ka lungbuei loh a pangtung tih n'bom dongah ka lungbuei sundaep. Te dongah ka laa neh amah te ka uem ni.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people, and the saving defender of his anointed.
BOEIPA tah amih kah sarhi neh, a koelh hlang kah khangnah lunghim ni.
9 Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: and take care of them, and lift them up for ever.
Na pilnam te khang lamtah na rho te a yoethen saeh. Amih te luem puei lamtah amih te kumhal duela phuei lah.
