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.
Aw Bawipa, dyngnaak ing ka thoeh law ve za nawhtaw, kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah. Kak cykcahnaak benna nang haa keeng lah-qaai kqawnnaak hui awhkawng ak law awi amni.
2 Let my judgment come forth from thy presence, let thine eyes regard equity.
Nang a ven awhkawng kak khanawh awi tlyhnaak law seitaw ak thym ik-oeih ce namik ing hu lah seh.
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.
Kak kawlung ve nik ching nawh than awh ni hqip lah, ni nai ni nawng hlai hyk ti, kaw awm am hu kawp ti; kam kha ing am thlawlh tikaw ti hawh nyng.
4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept from the paths of the violent [man].
Thlanghqing a ik-oeih sai amyihna - na hui awhkaw awi ing thlak chekhqi cehnaak lam awh am ka paanaak aham khoem qu hawh nyng.
5 When thou holdest my goings in thy paths, my footsteps slip not.
Ka khawkham ing na lam hquut nawh; ka khaw ing am bah man hy.
6 I have called upon thee, for thou answerest me, O God. Incline thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
Aw Khawsa nang ce nik khy nyng, nang ing nim hlat kawm tiksaw; nang haa keng law nawh kak cykcahnaak awi ve za 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].
Qaal anglakawhkawng nang awh thuknaak sui nawh tang kut ing ak hulkung, na lungnaak ak bau soeih ce dang sak lah.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
Na mik thlang amyihna ni qym nawh, nang hla khuiawh ning thuk sak lah.
9 From the wicked that destroy me, my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
Kai cem a qaal na anik thawh sihkhqi ingkaw kai anik chung khoep ka pumsa qaal anglakawhkawng.
10 They are enclosed in their own fat; with their mouth they speak proudly.
Am thin ak sah thlang na awm unawh, am kha ing cawngcah qunaak awi kqawn uhy.
11 They have now encompassed us in our steps; their eyes have they set, bowing down to the earth.
Ka hu thuih law unawh nik chung khoep hawh uhy, Deklai khawngnaak aham ni mik lyl na hawh uhy.
12 He is like a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as a young lion lurking in secret places.
Mehsa buh na cawi khit nawh, ak plup nakawng qamsa cuuk sih aham ak cai samthyyn amyihna awm uhy.
13 Arise, Jehovah, anticipate him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, thy sword;
Aw Bawipa, tho lah, a mingmih ce mam khqi nawh, tluk sak khqi lah; nak zawzi ing thlak che kut khui awhkawng ni hul 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.
Aw Bawipa, na kut ing ce mih thlangkhqi, ve khawmdek hqing khui doeng awhkaw laksawng ak takhqi a kut khui awhkawng ni hlam lah. Thlangkhqi amik phoen ce kawn ing be sak khqi nawh, a canaakhqi awm kqeng nawh ami cakhqi aham khawhthem ce cun pek khqi uhy.
15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
Kai ingtaw dyngnaak ing na myi ce hu kawng; ka hang hqyng law awh, na myi ak lo na ka awm ce hu nyng saw kang ngaih tlyp tikaw.
