Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.
David kah Tingtoenglung. Aw BOEIPA, ka thangthuinah he hnatun lah. Na uepomnah dongah ka huithuinah he hnakaeng lamtah na duengnah neh kai n'doo lah.
2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
Tedae mulhing boeih he namah mikhmuh ah a tang oeh pawt dongah na sal he khaw laitloeknah khuila na thak moenih.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.
Thunkha loh ka hinglu a hloem tih ka hingnah diklai ah a phop. Khosuen kah aka duek bangla khohmuep ah kai kho n'sak sak.
4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
Te dongah ka mueihla loh ka khuiah rhae tih ka lungbuei khaw ka khui ah pong coeng.
5 I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.
Hlamat kah khohnin ka poek tih na bisai boeih te ka thuep vaengah na kut dongkah bitat te ka lolmang thil. (Selah)
6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
Namah taengah ni ka kut ka phuel. Ka hinglu he bumueh rhathih hmuen kah bangla namah taengah om. (Selah)
7 O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
BOEIPA aw, ka mueihla a khum he tokthuet lamtah kai n'doo lah. Kai lamloh na maelhmai thuh boel mai. Tangrhom kah ka suntla banghui la ka om van ve.
8 Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.
Namah dongah ka pangtung vanbangla na sitlohnah neh mincang ah kai n'hnatun lah. Ka caeh ham longpuei te kai ming sak lah. Ka hinglu he namah taengah kan tloeng coeng.
9 O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
BOEIPA namah dongah ka kuep vanbangla ka thunkha kut lamloh kai n'huul lah.
10 Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
Ka Pathen la na om dongah na kolonah saii ham kai n'tukkil lah. Na Mueihla then loh tlangkol diklai ah kai m'mawt saeh.
11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
BOEIPA namah ming ham ni na duengnah dongah kai nan hing sak. Ka hinglu khaw citcai lamkah ni na doek.
12 And you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
Te dongah ka thunkha khaw na sitlohnah neh na biit tih na sal kai ham tah ka hinglu aka daengdaeh boeih te na paltham sak.
