Psalms 18
1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, the servant of Jehovah, who spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies and out of the hand of Saul. And he said, I will love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
Aka mawt ham, A thunkha boeih kah kut neh Saul kut lamkah a BOEIPA loh a huul khohnin vaengah hekah laa lung he BOEIPA taengah aka thui David, BOEIPA sal kah Te dongah, “Kai kah ka thadueng, BOEIPA nang te kan haidam,” a ti.
2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
BOEIPA tah ka thaelpang, ka rhalvong neh kai aka hlawt, ka Pathen, ka lungpang la om. Amah dongah ka ying tih ka photling, daemnah molsom, neh ka imsang la om.
3 I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Thang then ham aka koih BOEIPA te ka khue vaengah ka thunkha rhoek kut lamkah ka daem.
4 The bands of death encompassed me, and torrents of Belial made me afraid.
Dueknah rhuihet loh kai n'yen tih aka muen soklong loh kai n'let sak.
Saelkhui kah rhuihet loh kai m'ven tih dueknah hlaeh loh kai m'mah. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and I cried out to my God; he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, into his ears.
Ka kho a bing vaengah BOEIPA te ka khue tih ka Pathen taengah ka pang. A bawkim lamloh ka ol a yaak tih ka pang ol loh amah hmai neh a hna khuila a pha.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, because he was wroth.
Te vaengah diklai tuen tih hinghuen. Amah taengah a sai dongah tlang yung rhoek khaw tlai uh tih tuen uh.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals burned forth from it.
A hnarhong lamkah hmaikhu thoeng tih a ka lamkah hmai loh a laeh vaengah hmai-alh khaw tak.
9 And he bowed the heavens, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
Te phoeiah vaan te a koiloep tih a suntlak vaengah yinnah tah a kho hmui la pawk.
10 And he rode upon a cherub and did fly; yea, he flew fast upon the wings of the wind.
Cherub dongah ngol bal tih a ding vaengah khohli phae soah ding hang.
11 He made darkness his secret place, his tent round about him: darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Khohmuep te a kaepvai kah a hlipyingnah la, khomong khomai kah tamyin tui te a dungtlungim la a khueh.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed forth: hail and coals of fire.
Amah hmai kah a aa te a khomai khui lamkah rhael neh hmai alh la coe.
13 And Jehovah thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice: hail and coals of fire.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA tah vaan lamkah loh ha kawk tih Khohni loh a ol a huel vaengah rhael neh hmai alh la thoeng.
14 And he sent his arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; and he shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
A thaltang a kah tih amih te a taek a yaak. Rhaek neh a daeh tih amih te a khawkkhek.
15 And the beds of the waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered at thy rebuke, Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Na thintoek kah na hiil yilh neh BOEIPA nang kah tluungnah dongah sokca kah tui phoe tih lunglai khaw a yung hoep.
16 He reached forth from above, he took me, he drew me out of great waters:
A sang lamloh yueng uh tih tui dueng khui kah kai he n'tuuk tih n'doek.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me; for they were mightier than I.
Kai ham tah tlung uh coeng dae ka thunkha hlangtlung taeng lamkah neh ka lunguet taeng lamloh kai n'huul.
18 They encountered me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
Ka rhainah khohnin ah amih loh kai m'mah uh cakhaw kai ham tukcawt longkhawn la BOEIPA om.
19 And he brought me forth into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Tedae ka khuiah a naep dongah kai he a hoengpoeknah la n'thak tih kai n'pumcum sak.
20 Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Ka duengnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai n'thuung tih ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah ha mael.
21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
BOEIPA kah longpuei ka ngaithuen tih ka Pathen taeng lamkah ka poehlip van pawh.
22 For all his ordinances were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me;
Te dongah a laitloeknah boeih te kamah hmai ah ka khueh tih a khosing te kamah taeng lamkah ka phaelh pawh.
23 And I was upright with him, and kept myself from mine iniquity.
Amah hmaiah cuemthuek la ka om tih kamah kathaesainah lamloh khaw ka cue uh.
24 And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.
Te dongah ka duengnah neh amah mikhmuh ah ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah BOEIPA loh n'thuung coeng.
25 With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; with the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
Hingcim taengah uepom la na om tih, cuemthuek hlang taengah na cungkuem coeng.
26 With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
Aka meet uh taengah na meet uh tih voeldak te tah na hnueih.
27 For it is thou that savest the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes wilt thou bring down.
Namah loh pilnam mangdaeng te na khang tih mikhmuh kah aka pomsang rhoek khaw na kunyun sak.
28 For it is thou that makest my lamp to shine: Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
Ka BOEIPA Pathen namah loh ka hmaithoi nan tok tih ka hmaisuep khaw a tue.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Namah neh caem ka poeng tih ka Pathen nen tah pangbueng khaw ka poe thai.
30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of Jehovah is tried: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
Pathen tah a longpuei khangmai tih BOEIPA tah olthui a cimcaih dongah anih khuiah aka ying boeih ham tah photling la a om pah.
31 For who is God save Jehovah? and who is a rock if not our God?
BOEIPA phoeiah Pathen te unim? Mamih kah Pathen phoeiah tah unim lungpang bal?
32 The God who girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect,
Pathen loh kai he khuehtawn m'vah sak tih, ka longpuei khangmai la a khueh.
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places;
Ka kho he sayuk bangla han saii tih, ka hmuensang ah kai m'pai sak.
34 Who teacheth my hands to war, and mine arms bend a bow of brass;
Ka kut he caemtloek ham a cang tih, ka ban loh rhohum lii khaw a phuk thai.
35 And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand held me up; and thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
Namah kah khangnah photling te kai taengah nan paek tih, na bantang kut loh kai n'duel. Te dongah na kodonah neh kai nan rhoeng sak.
36 Thou didst enlarge my steps under me, and mine ankles have not wavered.
Ka kungdak kah ka kholaeh khaw na aeh dongah ka kho paloe pawh.
37 I pursued mine enemies, and overtook them; and I turned not again till they were consumed.
Ka thunkha rhoek te ka hloem tih amih te ka kae phoeiah amih ka khah hlanah ka balkhong moenih.
38 I crushed them, and they were not able to rise: they fell under my feet.
Amih te ka phop daengah ni thoo uh thai pawt tih ka kho tangah a bakop uh.
39 And thou girdedst me with strength to battle; thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
Caemtloek ham khaw kai he thadueng nan vah sak tih kai aka tlai thil rhoek te kamah hmuila na koisu.
40 And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, and those that hated me I destroyed.
Te dongah ka thunkha rhoek kah a rhawn te kai taengah na duen sak tih ka lunguet te ka biit.
41 They cried, and there was none to save; — unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
BOEIPA taengah pang uh coeng dae khang voel pawt tih amih te doo voel pawh.
42 And I did beat them small as dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Te dongah amih te khohli hman kah laipi bangla ka neet tih long kah tangnong bangla ka hawk.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people I knew not doth serve me.
Pilnam kah tuituknah khui lamkah kai nan hlawt. Namtom kah a lu la kai nan khueh ming pawt pilnam loh kai taengah tho a thueng.
44 At the hearing of the ear, they obey me: strangers come cringing unto me.
Ka ol te a hna dongah olthang la a yaak uh vaengah kholong ca rhoek loh kai taengah mai a tum uh.
45 Strangers have faded away, and they come trembling forth from their close places.
Kholong ca rhoek loh tahah uh tih amamih vongtung khui lamkah samoe uh.
46 Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation,
BOEIPA he hingnah la a om dongah ka lungpang tah a yoethen pai tih ka daemnah Pathen tah pomsang pai saeh.
47 The God who hath avenged me, and hath subjected the peoples to me;
Pathen loh kai hamla tawnlohnah a paek dongah kai dangah ni pilnam a voek.
48 Who hath delivered me from mine enemies: yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; from the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
Ka thunkha rhoek taeng lamkah kai nan hlawt, kai aka tlai thil soah kai nan pomsang bal. Hlang kah kuthlahnah lamkah kai nan huul.
49 Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, and will sing psalms to thy name.
Te dongah BOEIPA nang te namtom taengah kan uem vetih na ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
50 [It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, and sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
A manghai kah khangnah tah len khaw len pai. Te dongah ni sitlohnah he a koelh taengah khaw, David neh a tiingan taengah khaw kumhal duela a saii pah.
