Psalms 9
1 For the music director. According to Muth-labben. A psalm of David. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the amazing things you have done.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, Mut-labben lok hoiah sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, ka palungthin boih hoi nang kang saphaw han; na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk boih to ka hnuksak han.
2 I will be glad and celebrate in you; I will sing praises to your wonderful nature, Most High God.
Poeknawmhaih hoi nang ah kang hoe moe, aw Sang koek, na hmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
3 Those who hate me retreat; they fall back and die when you confront them.
Ka misanawk hnukbangah amlaem o let naah, na hmaa ah amtimh o moe, anghmat o.
4 For you have judged that I am right; you have decided fairly from your throne of judgment.
Ka toenghaih to nang doet haih; angraeng tangkhang nuiah nang hnut moe, katoengah lok na caek.
5 You have condemned the nations; you have destroyed the wicked; you have wiped out their names forever and ever.
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to na thuitaek; kasae kaminawk to nam rosak moe, nihcae ih ahmin dungzan khoek to nang hmatsak boeh.
6 The enemies are finished, ruined forever; their cities are destroyed—even the memory of them is gone.
Aw na misa amrohaih loe, boeng khoek to phak boeh: vangpuinawk to na phreak pae, nihcae panoekhaih doeh angmacae hoi nawnto amro boih boeh.
7 But the Lord rules forever, his throne is set up for judgment.
Toe Angraeng loe dungzan khoek to cak tih; lokcaek hanah angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to a caksak boeh.
8 The Lord judges the world rightly; he judges the nations fairly.
Anih mah long hae toenghaih hoiah lokcaek ueloe, katoeng lokcaekhaih hoiah kaminawk to uk tih.
9 The Lord is a place of safety for those who are oppressed, a fortress in times of trouble.
Angraeng loe pacaekthlaekhaih tong kaminawk abuephaih ah om tih, raihaih atue ah doeh abuephaih ah oh.
10 Those who know your nature trust in you, for you don't abandon those who come to you.
Na hmin panoek kaminawk loe nang to oep o tih; Angraeng, nang pakrong kaminawk to na pahnawt sut mak ai.
11 Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Zion! Tell the nations what he has done!
Zion ah kaom, Angraeng khaeah saphawhaih laa to sah oh loe, a sak ih hmuennawk to congca kaminawk khaeah thui oh.
12 He does not forget to punish murderers; he does not ignore the cries of the suffering.
Anih loe kami athii longhaih to pakuem, pahnet ai: anih loe poek pahnaemhaih hoiah qah kaminawk ih lok to pahnet ai.
13 Be gracious to me, Lord! Look at how my enemies are persecuting me! Grab me back from the gates of death,
Aw Angraeng, kai hae na tahmen ah; kai hnuma kaminawk ih pacaekthlaekhaih to na khen paeh loe, duekhaih khongkha thung hoiah na loisak ah:
14 so I can praise you at Zion's gates, happy that you have saved me.
to tih nahaeloe Zion canu ih khongkhanawk ah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sah thai boih ueloe, na pahlonghaih ah anghoehaih hoiah ka om tih.
15 The nations have fallen into their own pit they dug; their feet are trapped by their own net they set.
Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe angmacae mah takaeh o ih tangqom thungah krak o: angmacae mah hawk ih palok pongah angmacae ih khok to amanh o boih boeh.
16 The Lord is known for his fairness; the wicked are trapped by their own actions. (Higgaion, Selah)
Angraeng loe a sak ih lokcaekhaih hoiah amtueng: toe kasae kami loe a ban hoi sak ih thaang pongah amanh. (Higgaion, Selah)
Sithaw pahnet prae kaminawk hoi kasae kaminawk loe, hell thungah caeh o tih. (Sheol h7585)
18 But the needy will not be ignored forever, the hope of those who suffer will not always be dashed.
Kavawt kaminawk to pahnet poe mak ai ueloe, amtang kaminawk oephaih doeh anghma poe mak ai.
19 Stand up, Lord! Don't let human beings win! Let the nations be brought before you for judgment!
Aw Angraeng, angthawk ah, kami mah na pazawk hmah nasoe: Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe na hmaa ah lokcaekhaih om nasoe.
20 Lord, terrify them! Let them know they are only human! (Selah)
Aw Angraeng, nihcae to ziisak ah: to tiah ni prae congca kaminawk mah angmacae hoi angmacae to kai loe kami rumram ni, tiah panoek o thai tih. (Selah)
