Psalms 140
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung BOEIPA aw boethae Adam kut lamloh kai n'pumcum sak lamtah, kuthlahnah hlang kut lamloh kai n'kueinah lah.
2 Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
A lungbuei khuiah boethae a huet uh tih khohnin takuem caem a hueh uh. (Selah)
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips.
A lai te rhul bangla a suih tih a hmuilai dongah minta sue kap. (Selah)
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps.
BOEIPA aw halang kut lamkah neh hlang kah kuthlahnah lamloh kai dawndah lah. Ka kho ah kalh sak ham moeh uh cakhaw kai nan kueinah coeng.
5 The proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.
Thinthah rhoek loh kai ham pael neh rhuihet uh a tung uh. Namtlak hmoi ah lawk a tung uh tih kai hamla hlaeh a tung uh. (Selah)
6 I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
BOEIPA taengah, “Namah tah kai kah Pathen. BOEIPA aw ka huithuinah ol he hnakaeng lah,” ka ti.
7 O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah kai kah khangnah sarhi ni. Lungpokhaica khohnin ah pataeng ka lu soah nan khuk coeng.
8 Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.
BOEIPA aw halang kah huengaihnah te na rhoi moenih. A kopoek thae na dang sak pawt te ni a pomsang uh eh. (Selah)
9 The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.
Kai aka ven rhoek kah a lu te amamih hmuilai kah thakthaenah loh amamih te thing rhoe thing saeh.
10 Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.
Amih soah hmai-alh tla rhoe tla saeh. Amih te hmai khui neh rhomdung khuila cungku saeh lamtah thoo uh boel saeh.
11 A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.
Olsai hlang he hlang kah khohmuen ah naepnoi boel saeh. Boethae kuthlahnah te khaw pathaeng payang la yoep saeh.
12 I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.
Mangdaeng kah dumlai neh khodaeng kah laitloeknah BOEIPA loh a rhoi te ka ming rhoela ka ming.
13 But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
Aka dueng rhoek loh na ming te rhep a uem uh vetih aka Olsai rhoek ni na mikhmuh ah kho a sak uh eh.
