Psalms 17
1 The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, lannae koe lah awm nateh, ka hramnae hah na thai pouh haw. Dumnae ka dei boihoeh e pahni hoi ka ratoumnae hah na thai pouh haw.
2 Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
Ka kong dawk lawk tâtuengnae hah na hmalah tâcawt naseh, na mit teh kalan e hno dawk um naseh.
3 Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
Ka lungthin teh na tanouk toe. Karum vah na pai toe. Na tanouk teh banghai na hmawt hoeh. Ka pahni ni payon hoeh nahanelah ka noe toe.
4 That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
Taminaw ni sak e kong dawk, karaphoekungnaw e lam hah na lawk lahoi ouk ka roun toe.
5 Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.
Na lamthung dawk ka dawn lahun nah ka tâlaw payon hoeh nahanlah, na ka bawm haw.
6 I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
Oe Cathut, nang ni na thai pouh dawkvah, kai ni ka hei. Na hnâ pakeng nateh, ka lawk hah na thai pouh haw.
7 Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.
Nang kâuepnaw hah, katarankungnaw e kut dawk hoi, rungngangkung Cathut, pahrenlungmanae hah kamnuek sak haw.
8 From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.
Kai rep na kacuengroe e tamikayonnaw hoi kai thei hanlah na kalup e tarannaw kut dawk hoi,
9 From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
Mitmu patetlah kai hah na ring haw. Na rathei rahim vah na ramuk haw.
10 They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.
Ahnimouh teh amamae thâwnae hah a kâuep awh teh, kâoup laihoi lawk a dei awh.
11 They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
Ka ceinae lam hah a kalup awh teh, talai dawk rawp sak hanelah a mit pakhap laipalah na khet awh.
12 They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
Sendek ni a kei e moi ca han thouk a ngai e patetlah thoseh, sendek kanaw ni arulahoi a pawp e patetlah thoseh ao awh.
13 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword
Oe BAWIPA, thaw haw. Kangdout sin nateh, rawm sak haw. Tamikathoutnaw e kut dawk hoi na tahloi hoi na rungngang haw.
14 From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
Oe BAWIPA, talai tami lah kaawm e hotnaw e kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw. Ahnimouh teh atuvah, amamouh hanelah, a pang awh toe. Ahnimae ngainae hah hnopai hoi a kawi sak. A canaw hai a tawnta awh teh, a catounnaw koe a hnopainaw hah a parâw pouh awh.
15 But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.
Kai niteh, lannae lahoi na minhmai ka hmu han. Nang patetlah ka kâhlaw toteh ka lung a kuep han.
