Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.
Aw Bawipa, kak cykcahnaak awi ve ngai law nawhtaw, nam qeennaak thoeh doena kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah; na ypawmnaak ingkaw na dyngnaak ce kai aham hoeihkhangnaak na awm lah seh.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
Na tyihzawih ve awi koeh deng cang, kawtih na haiawh ak dyng thlang pynoet awm am awm hy.
3 For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
Ka qaal ing ni hquut nawh dek nik khawng na hy; ak thi ce thlangkhqi amyihna thannaak khuiawh ni ta hyt hy.
4 And my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Cedawngawh ka kawk khuiawh kang myihla zai hqoeng nawh; kak kawlung kqihnaak ing be hy.
5 I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.
Ak kqym a tym khqi poek nyng; na ik-oeih saikhqi boeih ce poek typ typ nyng saw na kut saikhqi ce poek nyng.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul, as a parched land, [thirsteth] after thee. (Selah)
Nang benna kut phyl law nyng; qamkoh ing tui a ngaih amyihna ka hqingnaak ing nang ce tui amyihna ni ngaih hy.
7 Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Aw Bawipa, ang tawnna nim hlat lah; kang myihla zai hqoeng hawh hy. Ka venawh na haai koeh thuh law, cemyih am mantaw lawk-kqawng khuina khaw ak sakhqi amyihna awm hau lawt kawng unyng.
8 Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee do I confide; make me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto thee do I lift up my soul.
Amak dyt thai nang a lungnaak ce mymcang ing haw law seh, kawtih nang ni ka ni ypnaak. Ka ceh hly kawi lam nim huh lah, nang benna ka hqingnaak ve hak zoek law nyng.
9 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge.
Aw Bawipa, ka qaal khqing lak awhkawng ni hul lah, nang ak khuiawh ni kang thuh qu hy.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.
Ka Khawsa na na awm a dawngawh, nak kawngaih sai thainaak aham ni cawng sak lah; nang a koe ak leek Myihla ing lamtlang awh ni sawi lah seh.
11 Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;
Aw Bawipa, nang ming ak caming ka hqingnaak ve khoem law lah; na dyngnaak ak caming kyinaak anglak li awhkawng ni loet sak lah.
12 And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.
Amak dyt thai na lungnaak ing, ka qaalkhqi sit sak lah; na tyihzawih na ka awm a dawngawh, ka qaalkhqi boeih ve hqe law lah.
