Psalms 7
1 A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Cush, the son of Jemini. O Lord, my God, in you I have hoped. Save me from all those who persecute me, and free me:
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, nang awh kai thuk nyng; kai anik hquutkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah;
2 lest at any time, like a lion, he might seize my soul, while there is no one to redeem me, nor any who can save.
U ingawm ama ni hul awhtaw samthyyn amyihna cekkhqi ing ni phu vit vit kawm uh.
3 O Lord, my God, if there is iniquity in my hands, if I have done this:
Aw Bawipa ka Khawsa, ve a them sai nawh ka kut ve a thawlh vek awhtaw -
4 if I have repaid those who rendered evils to me, may I deservedly fall away empty before my enemies:
Kai ingqawi kang qoep pyi thlang venawh them che ka sai, am awhtaw a sawhqat na ka qaal a them ce ka muk peek awhtaw;
5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and take hold of it, and trample my life into the earth, and drag down my glory into the dust. (Pause)
ka qaal ing ni hquut pha seitaw; ka hqingnaak ce dek awh leh nawh dekvai lak awh ni ih sak seh.
6 Rise up, Lord, in your anger. And be exalted to the borders of my enemies. And rise up, O Lord my God, according to the precept that you commanded,
AW Bawipa, kawso doena tho nawhtaw; ka qaalkhqi ak kawsonaak ce tuk lah. Ka Khawsa hqyng nawhtaw awih thym kqawn lah.
7 and a congregation of people will surround you. And, because of this, return on high.
Thlangkqeng ak cunkyng ing nang ce nik chung khoep lah seh. Hun sang nakawng cekkhqi ce uk lah;
8 The Lord judges the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice and according to my innocence within me.
Bawipa ing thlangkhqi ce awi deng lah seh. Aw Bawipa sawsang soeih, ka dyngnaak ingkaw ka leeknaak amyihna, nang ing awi ni deng lah.
9 The wickedness of sinners will be consumed, and you will direct the just: the examiner of hearts and temperaments is God.
Aw ak dyng Khawsa, thlang ak kawlung kawpoek ak chingkung, thlak che khawboe seetnaak ce dyt sak nawhtaw thlakdyng ce loet sak lah.
10 Just is my help from the Lord, who saves the upright of heart.
Kai a phuhqa taw sawsang soeih Khawsa ni, anih ingtaw kawlung ak dyngkhqi ce hul hy.
11 God is a just judge, strong and patient. How could he be angry throughout every day?
Khawsa taw ak dyng awidengkung na awm nawh, myngawi kawsonaak ak dang sakkung Khawsa na awm hy.
12 Unless you will be converted, he will brandish his sword. He has extended his bow and made it ready.
Anih ing a mang hloet qu mai mantaw, zawzi ce ak hqaat na taak kawmsaw; a licung ce a hawi coengawh hlah kaw.
13 And with it, he has prepared instruments of death. He has produced his arrows for those on fire.
Thihnaak kawi lungpawk ce tlaih oepchoeh nawh; maina ak kqawng thai la ce met hyt hawh hy.
14 Behold him who has given birth to injustice: he has conceived sorrow and has begotten iniquity.
Seetnaak ing phyihsu nawh kyinaak ak hu ingtaw seetnaak ce thang sak hy.
15 He has opened a pit and enlarged it. And he has fallen into the hole that he made.
Lawk-kqawng ak co ing amah a lawk-kqawng nawn awh tla hy.
16 His sorrow will be turned upon his own head, and his iniquity will descend upon his highest point.
Thawlhnaak ak sai ce amah a pum awh tla lat kawmsaw, boeseetnaak ak sai ce amah a luk khan awh tla kaw.
17 I will confess to the Lord according to his justice, and I will sing a psalm to the name of the Lord Most High.
A dyngnaak awh ce Bawipa venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn nyng saw, sawsang soeih Bawipang ming kyihcahnaak laa ce sa kawng nyng.
