Psalms 140
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Deliuer me, O Lord, from the euill man: preserue me from the cruel man:
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, kahoih ai kami khae hoiah na pahlong ah; poeksae kami ih ban thung hoiah na pakaa ah;
2 Which imagine euill things in their heart, and make warre continually.
nihcae loe sethaih khue to poek o; ni thoekkruek misatuk hanah amkhueng o.
3 They haue sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders poyson is vnder their lips. (Selah)
Nihcae loe palai to pahui palai baktiah taak o; nihcae ih pahni thungah pahui sae kasoe tui to oh. (Selah)
4 Keepe mee, O Lord, from the handes of the wicked: preserue mee from the cruell man, which purposeth to cause my steppes to slide.
Aw Angraeng, kasae kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah na pakaa ah; poeksae kami ih ban thung hoiah na pakaa ah; nihcae loe ka khok tangkan amthaeksak hanah poek o.
5 The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spred a nette with cordes in my pathway, and set grennes for me. (Selah)
Amoek kaminawk mah kai hanah tamquta hoi thaang ang patung pae o moe, qui to payang o; ka caehhaih loklam ah palok payang o moe, dongh patung o. (Selah)
6 Therefore I saide vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare, O Lord, the voyce of my prayers.
Angraeng khaeah, nang loe kai ih Sithaw ah na oh, tiah ka thuih; Aw Angraeng, tahmen kang hnikhaih hae tahngai ah.
7 O Lord God the strength of my saluation, thou hast couered mine head in the day of battel.
Aw Angraeng Sithaw, thacak kai akrangkung, misatukhaih niah ka lu hae nang khuk pae boeh.
8 Let not the wicked haue his desire, O Lord: performe not his wicked thought, least they be proude. (Selah)
Aw Angraeng, kasae kaminawk koehhaih to paek hmah; nihcae poekhaih doeh koepsak hmah, to tih ai nahaeloe nihcae loe amoek o moeng tih. (Selah)
9 As for the chiefe of them, that compasse me about, let the mischiefe of their owne lippes come vpon them.
Kai takui kaminawk ih lu loe, angmacae pahni hoi thuih ih sethaih mah khuk nasoe.
10 Let coles fal vpon them: let him cast them into the fire, and into the deepe pits, that they rise not.
Nihcae nuiah hmai kamngaeh to krah nasoe; nihcae angthawk o let han ai ah, kangqong hmai thungah, tangqom kathuk thungah va o nasoe.
11 For the backbiter shall not be established vpon the earth: euill shall hunt the cruell man to destruction.
Sethaih lok thui thaih kami loe prae thungah om hmah nasoe; to baktih poeksae kami loe a hnukah sethaih mah patom nasoe.
12 I know that the Lord will auenge the afflicted, and iudge the poore.
Patangkhang kami to Angraeng mah khetzawn, amtang kami to toenghaih hoiah lok a caek.
13 Surely the righteous shall prayse thy Name, and the iust shall dwell in thy presence.
Tangtang ni katoeng kaminawk mah loe na hmin to saphaw o tih; poektoeng kaminawk loe na hmaa ah om o tih.
