Psalms 17
1 The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
David lawkthuihaih Aw Angraeng, toenghaih hoi ka hanghaih lok hae tahngai pae ah loe, lawk ka thuihaih naa patueng pae ah, alinghaih pahni hoiah lawk ka thui ai.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
Ka nuiah lok takroekhaih loe nang khae hoiah angzo nasoe loe, na mik hoiah toenghaih to hnu nasoe.
3 Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.
Ka palungthin to nang khingh pae moe, aqum ah nang khetzawn; kai hae nang tanoek, toe tidoeh na hnu ai; ka pakha ah zaehaih om mak ai, tiah ka poek.
4 Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
Kaminawk mah sak ih hmuennawk baktih toengah, amrosak thaih kaminawk caehhaih loklam ah athum han ai ah, na pakha thung hoi tacawt tamthanglok hoiah ka yae ving boeh.
5 Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
Kam thaek han ai ah, na loklam ah ka caehhaih khok tangkan na caksak ah.
6 I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
Aw Sithaw, kang kawkhaih lok nang pathim han oh pongah, nang to kang kawk: na naa to patuengh loe, lawk ka thuihaih lok hae na tahngai paeh.
7 Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
Nang khae abuephaih pakrong kaminawk, misa ih ban thung hoiah na ban hoi pahlongkung, dawnrai nam lunghaih to amtuengsak ah.
8 Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
Kai pacaekthlaek kasae kaminawk hoi kai takui khoep kami hum han koeh misanawk thung hoiah mikmu baktiah na khenzawn ah loe, na pakhraeh tahlip ah na buepsak ah.
9 From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
10 They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
Nihcae loe kathawk angmacae ih angan to ang oep o moe, amoekhaih lok to a thuih o.
11 They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
Aicae caehhaih loklam to vaihi takui o khoep boeh: aicae long ah amtimsak hanah mik hoiah a khet o;
12 Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.
kaek ih moi to caak han kaom zok amthlam kaipui, moi naeh hanah tamquta hoiah angangh kaipui caa kanawk baktiah a oh o.
13 Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
Aw Angraeng, angthawk ah, anih to pakaa ah loe, amtimsak ah; na sumsen hoiah ka hinghaih kasae kami ih ban thung hoiah na loisak ah.
14 From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.
Aw Angraeng, long kami ah kaom, to baktih kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah ka hinghaih hae na ban hoi na pahlong ah; nihcae loe hae long nuiah hing o nathung, tangqum a hak o boeh, nihcae ih zok to na hawk ih hmuenmae hoiah na koisak boeh: a caanawk loe angraeng o; nihcae loe caa nawktanawk to sak o mangh, a tawnh o ih hmuenmaenawk doeh a caanawk hanah suek pae o.
15 But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
Kai loe, toenghaih hoiah na krang to ka hnu tih: kang thawk tahang naah, na krang baktiah kaom nangmah roe to ka hnu tih, to naah loe ka poekhaih palung hae khuek ti tih boeh.
