Psalms 7
1 A psalm (shiggaion) of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, from the tribe of Benjamin. Lord my God, you are my protection. Save me from those who persecute me; please rescue me!
Benjamin capa Kusah kah olka kongah BOEIPA taengah a hlai David kah Omdamlaa Ka BOEIPA Pathen, namah dongah ka ying. Kai aka hloem rhoek boeih taeng lamkah kai n'khang lamtah kai n'huul dae.
2 Otherwise they will tear me apart like a lion, ripping me to pieces with no one to save me.
Sathueng bangla ka hinglu he pat a ngaeh vetih, aka huul om pawt ve.
3 If I have done what I'm accused of, if my hands are guilty,
Ka BOEIPA Pathen, hekah he ka saii mai tih, ka kut ah dumlai om mai ni.
4 If I have paid back a friend with evil, if I have robbed my enemy for no reason,
Kai aka thuung te a thae la ka thuung tih, lunglilungla la kai aka daengdaeh te ka rheth atah,
5 Then let my enemies chase me down; let them trample me in the dust and drag my reputation through the dirt. (Selah)
Ka hinglu he thunkha thunghling loh han hloem tih n'kae vaengah, ka hingnah he diklai ah taelh uh saeh lamtah, kai kah thangpomnah khaw, laipi khuila khueh saeh. (Selah)
6 Stand up, Lord, in your anger, rise up against the fury of my enemies; wake up, Lord, and bring me justice!
Thoo lah BOEIPA kai taengah aka daengdaeh thinpom rhoek he, na thintoek neh pai thil lah. Haenghang lamtah, kai ham tiktamnah uen lah.
7 Bring together the nations before you; rule them from your throne on high.
Te dongah namtu rhaengpuei loh, namah m'vael saeh lamtah, amih te hmuen sang lamkahngol thil.
8 The Lord judges all people. Defend me, Lord, because I do what is right, because of my integrity.
BOEIPA loh pilnam rhoek ke laitloek pah saeh. Ka duengnah neh ka thincaknah vanbangla, ka lai han tloek lah BOEIPA.
9 Please bring an end to the evil done by the wicked; vindicate those who do good, for you are the God of right who examines hearts and minds.
Halang rhoek kah boethae tah paltham suidae aka dueng te na cak sak. Te dongah duengnah Pathen loh lungbuei neh kuel ni a loepdak.
10 The Most High God is my defense, the one who saves those who live right.
Lungbuei aka thuem kah khangkung Pathen tah kai kah photling ni.
11 God is a fair judge who is always hostile to evil.
Pathen he a dueng la lai a tloek neh khohnin takuem ah kosi aka sah Pathen ni.
12 If people do not change their minds, he will sharpen his sword. He has bent and strung his bow.
Yut pawt koinih a cunghang khaw a tah vetih, a lii khaw a phuk vetih a nuen ni.
13 He has prepared weapons of death, he has his flaming arrows ready.
Te dongah amah ham dueknah tubael a tawn tih thaltang aka alh te a saii.
14 See how the wicked conceive evil! They are pregnant with trouble. They give birth to dishonesty.
Boethae te a yom tih thakthaenah la a vawn dongah a hong a hi ni a cun coeng ke.
15 They dig a deep hole to catch people, but then fall into it themselves.
Vaam te a vueh tih a too dae amah loh a saii vaam khuiah amah cungku.
16 The trouble they cause rebounds to hit them on the head; their violence against others comes down on their own skulls.
A thakthaenah te a lu dongla mael vetih a kah kuthlahnah khaw a luki ah suntla ni.
17 I will thank the Lord because he does what is right; I will sing praises to the name of the Lord Most High.
BOEIPA kah a duengnah te ka uem vetih Khohni BOEIPA ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
