Psalms 140
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
Aw Bawipa, thlakchekhqi kut khuiawh kawng ni hul lah; boeksekhqi a kut khui awhkawng nang ing nik chung lah,
2 Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
ak kawlung khuiawh ak che poeknaak doeng ta unawh myngawi qaal na tho loet uhy.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips.
A mim laikhqi ce khqui am lai amyihna hqat sak unawh; khquihse a chy ce ami hui kqang awm hy.
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps.
Aw Bawipa, thlakchekhqi kut khui awhkawng nang ing ni khoem lah; kai a khawkham lawlh sak aham ak cai thlakchekhqi anglakawhkawng ni hlip lah.
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.
Ak oek qukhqi ing kai aham ang hyp na dawng dun law unawh; lawk qui ce zan law uhy, ka cehnaak lam boeih awh dun law uhy.
6 I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
Aw Bawipa, nang a venawh, “Nang taw ka Khawsa ni,” ti nyng. Aw Bawipa, qeennaak thoeh doena kang kqangnaak awi ve ngai law lah.
7 O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.
Aw Boeimang Khawsa, kai anik hulkung thakawm, qal tuknaak kung awh ka lu ak dah lawkung –
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.
Aw Bawipa, thlakchekhqi a ngaihnaak ce koeh soep law pe sak; a ming cainaak awm koeh coeng sak, cemyih am mantaw oek qu hau kawm uh.
9 The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.
Kai anik chungkhqi a lukhqi taw a mimah a hui ing ang coeng sak kyinaak ing sing pe seh.
10 Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.
Maikqawng ce a mingmih ak khan awh tlaak pe seitaw; a mami thawh thai voel aham mai awh, lawk-kqawng khuina khawng u seh.
11 A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.
Qam khuiawh thlang kqawnseet na ak nget khqi ce koeh awm seh; boeksekhqi taw seetnaak ing a hu awh hquut seh.
12 I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.
Bawipa ing thymnaak ce khawdengkhqi ham taak pe nawh ak voethlauhkhqi ce dawm a hlai hy tice sim nyng.
13 But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
Thlakdyngkhqi ing nang ang ming ce kyihcah kawm usaw thlak leek khqi ce na haiawh awm kawm uh.
