Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O Jehovah, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer, which is not out of feigned lips.
David kah Thangthuinah Duengnah he han ya lah BOEIPA! ka tamlung he hnatung lamtah ka ka ah hlangthai palat om kolla ka thangthuinah he na hna han kaeng lah.
2 Let my judgment come forth from thy presence, let thine eyes regard equity.
Ka laitloeknah he namah taeng lamkah halo saeh lamtah na mik loh vanatnah te hmuh van saeh.
3 Thou hast proved my heart, thou hast visited me by night; thou hast tried me, thou hast found nothing: my thought goeth not beyond my word.
Ka lungbuei he noem lah, khoyin ah nan cawh tih kai nan picai dae na hmu moenih. Ka ka he a tholh pawt ham ka mangtaeng coeng.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the paths of the violent [man].
Hlang kah thaphu dongah na hmuilai lamkah olka nen ni kai loh dingca kah a caehlong te ka rhael.
5 When thou holdest my goings in thy paths, my footsteps slip not.
Na namtlak kah ka khokan khaw ka kho a paloe pawt ham n'duel dae.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou answerest me, O God. Incline thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
Kai nan doo dongah kamah loh nang ni kang khue. Pathen aw kai taengla na hna han duen lamtah ka olthui he hnatun lah.
7 Shew wondrously thy loving-kindnesses, O thou that savest by thy right hand them that trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them].
Caemrhal lamkah aka ying rhoek te na bantang kut neh aka khang, na sitlohnah tah khobaerhambae la tueng.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
Na mikhmuh ah thenhnaih nu bangla na phae hlip ah kai n'ying sak lamtah,
9 From the wicked that destroy me, my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
kai aka rhoelrhak sak halang rhoek neh, kai taengah ka hinglu aka vael ka thunkha rhoek hmai lamkah kai he n'dawndah lah.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly.
Amih te a komoelh uh, a kam a khuep uh tih hoemdamnah a thui uh.
11 They have now encompassed us in our steps; their eyes have they set, bowing down to the earth.
Tahae ah kaimih kah khokan te a hil uh tih amih mik loh kaimih he m'vael uh coeng. Kaimih he Diklai la aka tulh ham tawn uh.
12 He is like a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as a young lion lurking in secret places.
A mueisa mah rhamsa ngaeh ham aka moo sathueng neh sathuengca bangla a huephael ah kho a sak.
13 Arise, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword;
Aw BOEIPA thoo lah, anih hmai ah khoep mah lamtah bung sak. Na cunghang neh halang kut lamkah ka hinglu he han hlah lah.
14 From men [who are] thy hand, O Jehovah, from men of this age: their portion is in [this] life, and their belly thou fillest with thy hid [treasure]; they have their fill of sons, and leave the rest of their [substance] to their children.
BOEIPA namah kut dongkah hlang rhoek lamloh, khosaknah lamkah hlang rhoek lamloh, na hingnah dongah amih kah hamsum khaw na khoem pah tih a bung na hah sak. Ca rhoek khaw hah uh tih a coih te a camoe patoeng ham a paih uh.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
Kai ngawn tah, duengnah dongah na maelhmai ka hmuh vetih, namah kah muei la ka haenghang vaengah, ngaikhuek la ka om ni.
