Psalms 71
1 A Psalm of David. Of the sons of Jonadab and the former captives. In you, O Lord, I have hoped; do not let me be brought to ruin forever.
BOEIPA nang dongah ka ying tih, kumhal ah yah m'poh sak boeh.
2 Free me by your justice, and rescue me. Incline your ear to me, and save me.
Na duengnah neh, kai na huul tih nan hlawt. Te dongah na hna te kai taengla han hooi lamtah, kai n'khang lah.
3 Be a God of protection and a place of strength for me, so that you may accomplish my salvation. For you are my firmament and my refuge.
Caeh taitu vaengkah ham, kai taengah lungpang khuirhung la ha om lah. Namah te ka thaelpang neh ka rhalvong la na om dongah, kai khang ham khaw na uen.
4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, and from the hand of the unjust and those who act against the law.
Ka Pathen aw, halang kut lamloh, aka phayoe tih aka muen kah kutpha lamloh, kai n'hlawt lah.
5 For you, O Lord, are my patience: my hope from my youth, O Lord.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah tah, ka ngaiuepnah neh, ka camoe lamkah ka pangtungnah ni.
6 In you, I have been confirmed from conception. From my mother’s womb, you are my protector. In you, I will sing forever.
Bungko khui lamkah nang dongah ka hangdang coeng. Namah loh a nu ko khui lamkah kai nan poh. Namah te kai kah koehnah la na om yoeyah.
7 I have become to many as if I were a portent, but you are a strong helper.
Hlang tom taengah mikdairhueng bangla ka om cakhaw namah te ka hlipyingnah sarhi la na om.
8 Let my mouth be filled with praise, so that I may sing your glory, your greatness all day long.
Namah kah boeimangnah rhangneh namah koehnah te hnin takuem ka ka ah baetawt.
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age. Do not abandon me when my strength will fail.
Ka patong tue vaengah kai m'voei boeh. Ka thadueng a bawt vaengah kai nan hnoo mahpawh.
10 For my enemies have spoken against me. And those who watched for my soul have taken counsel as one,
Ka thunkha rhoek loh kai taengah cal uh tih ka hinglu dawn ham tun caai uh.
11 saying: “God has abandoned him. Pursue and overtake him. For there is no one to rescue him.”
“Anih he Pathen loh a hnoo coeng dongah hloem uh sih lamtah tu uh sih. Anih aka huul ham khaw hlang a om moenih,” a ti uh.
12 O God, do not be far from me. O my God, provide for my assistance.
Pathen aw kai taeng lamkah lakhla tak boeh. Kai bomkung ham ka Pathen nang ha tawn rhoe ha tawn uh laeh.
13 May they be confounded, and may they fail, who drag down my soul. Let them be covered with confusion and shame, who seek evils for me.
Ka hinglu aka khingkhoek rhoek te yahpok uh saeh lamtah hmata uh saeh. Kai kah yoethae aka hue rhoe te kokhahnah neh mingthae loh thing uh saeh.
14 But I will always have hope. And I will add more to all your praise.
Tedae kai loh ka ngaiuep yoeyah vetih namah koehnah te boeih ka khoep ni.
15 My mouth will announce your justice, your salvation all day long. For I have not known letters.
Nan khangnah te taenah ham ka ming pawt cakhaw na duengnah te ka ka loh hnin takuem a tae bitni.
16 I will enter into the powers of the Lord. I will be mindful of your justice alone, O Lord.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah thayung thamal khuila ka lo vetih, namah bueng dongah ni na duengnah ka thoelh eh.
17 You have taught me from my youth, O God. And so I will declare your wonders continuously,
Pathen aw, ka camoe lamkah kai nan cang puei dongah tahae duela namah kah khobaerhambae te ka doek.
18 even in old age and with grey hairs. Do not abandon me, O God, while I announce your arm to every future generation: your power
Pathen aw, thawnpuei taengah na bantha, hmailong kah aka lo ham boeih taengah na thayung thamal ka doek hlanhil tah patong sampok la ka om cakhaw kai nan hnoo mahpawh.
19 and your justice, O God, even to the highest great things that you have done. O God, who is like you?
Tedae Pathen na duengnah loh a sang duela a puet. Pathen loh duelhduelh na saii te, namah bangla ulae aka om?
20 How great is the tribulation that you have revealed to me: very great and evil. And so, turning back, you have brought me to life, and you have led me back again from the abyss of the earth.
Kai he citcai neh yoethaenah muep nan hmuh khaw nan hmuh sak dae koep nan hing khaw nan hing sak vetih diklai laedil lamkah koep nan lat bal ni.
21 You have multiplied your magnificence. And so, turning back to me, you have consoled me.
Ka lennah nan pueh vetih kai nan hloep bal ni.
22 Therefore, I will confess your truth to you, with the instruments of the Psalter. O God, I will sing psalms to you with stringed instruments, O Holy One of Israel.
Kai khaw ka Pathen namah kah uepomnah te thangpa toembael neh kan uem vetih Israel kah a cim namah te rhotoeng neh ka tingtoeng ni.
23 My lips will exult, when I sing to you, and also my soul, which you have redeemed.
Ka hinglu he na lat coeng dongah nang te kan tingtoeng vaengah ka hmui ka lai neh ka tamhoe ni.
24 And even my tongue will meditate on your justice all day long, when those who seek evils for me have been confounded and set in awe.
Kai kah yoethae aka hue rhoek loh yah a poh uh tih a hmai a tal uh coeng dongah ka lai long khaw hnin takuem nang kah duengnah te a thuep ni.
