< Psalms 21 >
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!
[Aka mawt ham David kah tingtoenglung] BOEIPA nang kah sarhi dongah manghai a kohoe tih, namah kah khangnah dongah bahoeng omngaih.
2 You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.
Anih ham a lungbuei kah a ngaihlihnah khaw na doo tih, a hmuilai kah a kueknah te na hloh pah pawh. (Selah)
3 You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
Anih te yoethennah then neh na doe tih a lu ah suicilh rhuisam na khueh pah.
4 He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.
Namah taengkah hingnah ham bih vaengah anih ham kumhal ah khohnin na puh sak tih na paek yoeyah.
5 Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.
Nang kah khangnah lamloh a thangpomnah tanglue tih, mueithennah neh rhuepomnah te anih dongah na hal coeng.
6 You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.
Anih te yoethennah na paek yoeyah dongah namah hmai kah kohoenah neh a ko na hoe sak.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.
Te dongah manghai loh BOEIPA dongah pangtung tih, Khohni kah sitlohnah rhang neh tuen voel mahpawh.
8 You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.
Na thunkha boeih te na kut loh a hmuh vetih, na lunguet rhoek khaw na bantang kut loh a tuuk bitni.
9 When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.
Namah na phoe tue vaengah amih te hmaipom hmai bangla na khueh bitni. BOEIPA kah a thintoek loh amih te a dolh vetih hmai loh a hlawp ni.
10 You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.
Amih kah a thaihtae te diklai lamkah, amih kah tiingan khaw hlang capa rhoek khui lamkah na milh sak ni.
11 Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.
Nang taengah tangkhuepnah a thae la moeh uh tih n'taeng uh dae a phu uh hae moenih.
12 They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.
Tedae na liva neh amih maelhmai te na nuen vaengah amih te a hnuk la na rhoe bitni.
13 Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
BOEIPA te pomsang pai saeh. Na sarhi te ka hlai uh vetih na thayung thamal te ka tingtoeng uh ni.
