Psalms 71
1 Lord, you are the one who keeps me safe; please don't disappoint me.
BOEIPA nang dongah ka ying tih, kumhal ah yah m'poh sak boeh.
2 Save me, rescue me, because you always do what is right.
Na duengnah neh, kai na huul tih nan hlawt. Te dongah na hna te kai taengla han hooi lamtah, kai n'khang lah.
3 Please listen to me, and save me. Be my rock of protection where I can always go and hide. You gave the command to save me; for you are my rock and fortress.
Caeh taitu vaengkah ham, kai taengah lungpang khuirhung la ha om lah. Namah te ka thaelpang neh ka rhalvong la na om dongah, kai khang ham khaw na uen.
4 My God, rescue me from the power of the wicked, from the clutches of those who are evil and brutal.
Ka Pathen aw, halang kut lamloh, aka phayoe tih aka muen kah kutpha lamloh, kai n'hlawt lah.
5 For you, Lord God, are my hope. You are the one I have trusted since I was young.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah tah, ka ngaiuepnah neh, ka camoe lamkah ka pangtungnah ni.
6 I have depended on you since birth; you have taken care of me from my mother's womb. That's why I'm always praising you!
Bungko khui lamkah nang dongah ka hangdang coeng. Namah loh a nu ko khui lamkah kai nan poh. Namah te kai kah koehnah la na om yoeyah.
7 My life has been like a miracle to many people, for you have been my powerful protector.
Hlang tom taengah mikdairhueng bangla ka om cakhaw namah te ka hlipyingnah sarhi la na om.
8 All day long I am full of praise for you, telling how wonderful you are!
Namah kah boeimangnah rhangneh namah koehnah te hnin takuem ka ka ah baetawt.
9 Don't reject me now I'm getting old. When my strength is gone, please don't abandon me.
Ka patong tue vaengah kai m'voei boeh. Ka thadueng a bawt vaengah kai nan hnoo mahpawh.
10 For my enemies are talking about me; those who want to kill me are plotting together.
Ka thunkha rhoek loh kai taengah cal uh tih ka hinglu dawn ham tun caai uh.
11 They say, “God has given up on him. Let's go after him because there's no one to save him.”
“Anih he Pathen loh a hnoo coeng dongah hloem uh sih lamtah tu uh sih. Anih aka huul ham khaw hlang a om moenih,” a ti uh.
12 God, please don't stay away from me. My God, hurry to help me!
Pathen aw kai taeng lamkah lakhla tak boeh. Kai bomkung ham ka Pathen nang ha tawn rhoe ha tawn uh laeh.
13 Defeat my accusers, get rid of them! May those who want to cause me trouble be covered with shame and disgrace!
Ka hinglu aka khingkhoek rhoek te yahpok uh saeh lamtah hmata uh saeh. Kai kah yoethae aka hue rhoe te kokhahnah neh mingthae loh thing uh saeh.
14 As for me, I will go on hoping in you, and I will praise you more and more.
Tedae kai loh ka ngaiuep yoeyah vetih namah koehnah te boeih ka khoep ni.
15 I will talk about your goodness and your salvation every day, even though it's more than I can understand.
Nan khangnah te taenah ham ka ming pawt cakhaw na duengnah te ka ka loh hnin takuem a tae bitni.
16 I will come and explain what the Lord has done. I will remind people that you alone do what is right.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah thayung thamal khuila ka lo vetih, namah bueng dongah ni na duengnah ka thoelh eh.
17 God, you have taught me since I was young, and I still tell others about all the wonderful things you do.
Pathen aw, ka camoe lamkah kai nan cang puei dongah tahae duela namah kah khobaerhambae te ka doek.
18 Even though I'm old and gray, please don't abandon me, God. Let me tell the new generation about your power. Let me explain to all who are to come the great things you do.
Pathen aw, thawnpuei taengah na bantha, hmailong kah aka lo ham boeih taengah na thayung thamal ka doek hlanhil tah patong sampok la ka om cakhaw kai nan hnoo mahpawh.
19 God, your trustworthy and true nature is higher than the highest heaven! You have done incredible things! God, who is like you?
Tedae Pathen na duengnah loh a sang duela a puet. Pathen loh duelhduelh na saii te, namah bangla ulae aka om?
20 You had me face many troubles and plenty of misery, but you will bring me back to life; you will rise me up from the depths of the earth.
Kai he citcai neh yoethaenah muep nan hmuh khaw nan hmuh sak dae koep nan hing khaw nan hing sak vetih diklai laedil lamkah koep nan lat bal ni.
21 You will give me even greater prestige, and you will make me happy again.
Ka lennah nan pueh vetih kai nan hloep bal ni.
22 Then I will praise you on the harp for your trustworthiness, my God. I will sing praises to you on the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
Kai khaw ka Pathen namah kah uepomnah te thangpa toembael neh kan uem vetih Israel kah a cim namah te rhotoeng neh ka tingtoeng ni.
23 I will shout for joy as I sing praises to you, for you have redeemed me.
Ka hinglu he na lat coeng dongah nang te kan tingtoeng vaengah ka hmui ka lai neh ka tamhoe ni.
24 All day long I will tell about all the good things you have done, for those who tried to cause me misery have been disgraced and humiliated.
Kai kah yoethae aka hue rhoek loh yah a poh uh tih a hmai a tal uh coeng dongah ka lai long khaw hnin takuem nang kah duengnah te a thuep ni.
