Psalms 18
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid the seruant of the Lord, which spake unto the Lord the wordes of this song (in the day that the Lord delivered him for the hande of all this enemies, and form the and of saul) and sayd, I will loue thee dearely, O Lord my strength.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, Angraeng ih tamna David ih saam laa. Angraeng mah David to a misanawk thung boih hoi Saul ih ban thung hoiah loisak naah, David mah Angraeng khaeah hae laa hae sak; anih mah hae tiah thuih: Ka thacakhaih, Aw Angraeng, nang kang palung han.
2 The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge.
Angraeng loe ka lungsong, kacak kai ih sipae hoi kai pahlongkung ah oh: ka Sithaw, ka thacakhaih, ka buephaih, kang vaenghaih, ka loihhaih taki, kai ih imsang ah oh.
3 I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
Pakoeh han krah Sithaw to ka kawk han, anih mah ka misanawk ban thung hoiah na pahlong tih.
4 The sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide.
Duekhaih quinawk mah ang zaeng moe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ih tuiphu mah zithaih hoiah ang ohsak.
Hell qui mah ang zaeng kang moe, duekhaih thaang mah ang maah khoep. (Sheol h7585)
6 But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares.
Dawnrai naah Angraeng to ka kawk, ka Sithaw to ka palawk: anih mah angmah ih tempul thung hoiah ka lok ang tahngaih pae; ka hanghaih lok loe anih hmaa ah phak moe, anih ih naa thungah akun.
7 Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
Anih palungphui naah, long anghuen moe, tasoeh; maenawk ohhaih takung khoek to anghuen moe, angthuih.
8 Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat.
Anih ih hnah thung hoiah hmaikhue tacawt moe, anih pakha thung ih hmai mah kangh pongah, to ih hmaipalai hoiah hmai to amngaeh.
9 He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
Anih mah van to takoih moe, pahnaem tathuk; kaving loe anih ih khok tlim ah oh.
10 And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.
Anih loe Cherubim nuiah angthueng moe, azawk: ue, anih loe takhi ih pakhraehnawk nuiah azawk.
11 He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.
Anih loe angmah anghawk haih hanah vinghaih to sak moe, kaving khak tuinawk hoi kathah van ih tamainawk mah anih to takui o.
12 At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire.
A hmaa ah aanghaih oh pongah, kathah tamainawk mah qaetui hoi hmai kamngaeh thlung to sin o moe, hmabang ah caeh o.
13 The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire.
Angraeng loe van ah doeh khopazihsak moe, Sang koek mah qaetui hoi hmai kamngaeh thlungnawk hanah lok a paek.
14 Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them.
Ue, anih loe angmah ih palaanawk to kah; tangphra a pueksak pongah, misanawk anghaehsak phang moe, a sungsak.
15 And the chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels.
Aw Angraeng, na thuitaekhaih hoi na hnah thung ih takhi nang hahhaih hoiah, tui longhaih loklamnawk to amtueng moe, long angdoethaih doeh amtueng.
16 He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.
Anih loe ranui bang hoiah ban to payangh, kai ang patawnh moe, pop parai tuinawk thung hoiah kai to azuh tahang.
17 He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me.
Anih mah kai hnuma kaminawk, kai han paroeai thacak, ka misanawk ban thung hoiah ang pahlong.
18 They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
Kam rohaih niah nihcae mah ang maah o khoep; toe Angraeng loe ka buephaih ah oh.
19 Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.
Anih mah kalen parai imthung ah ang caeh haih; ka nuiah palung a tongh pongah, anih mah ang pahlong.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:
Angraeng mah ka toenghaih baktih toengah, tangqum to ang paek, ka ban ciimhaih baktih toengah atho ang paek let.
21 Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.
Angraeng ih loklamnawk to ka pazui pongah, zaehaih sak hanah Sithaw to ka caeh taak ai.
22 For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.
A lok takroekhaihnawk boih loe ka hmaa ah oh, anih mah sak ih daannawk ka pahnawt vai ai.
23 I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.
A hmaa ah toenghaih hoiah kho ka sak moe, zaehaih to ka caeh taak.
24 Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.
To pongah ka toenghaih baktih, a mikhnuk ah ka ban ciimhaih baktih toengah, Angraeng mah tangqum to ang paek.
25 With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
Nang loe tahmen thaih kami khaeah tahmenhaih nam tuengsak moe, katoeng kami khaeah toenghaih to nam tuengsak;
26 With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.
Kaciim kami khaeah ciimhaih nam tuengsak moe, poek angkoih kami khaeah poek angkoihaih to nam tuegsak.
27 Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.
Mi tlim ah khosah kaminawk to na pahlong; toe kasang ah mikpadai kaminawk loe na pakhrak tathuk.
28 Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.
Aw Angraeng, kai ih hmaithawk nang paaang pae, ka Angraeng Sithaw mah ka vinghaih hae na aangsak tih.
29 For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall.
Nang oephaih rang hoiah misa to ka patom moe, ka Sithaw oephaih rang hoiah ni sipae to ka poeng thaih.
30 The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
Sithaw ih loklam loe acung: Angraeng ih lok loe coek han koi om ai. Anih loe angmah khaeah abuep kaminawk boih hanah angvaenghaih ah oh.
31 For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie saue our God?
Angraeng pacoengah mi maw Sithaw ah kaom vop? To tih ai boeh loe aicae Sithaw ai ah loe mi maw lungsong ah kaom?
32 God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright.
Sithaw mah thacakhaih kazii hoiah ang zaeng moe, ka caehhaih loklam to acungsak.
33 He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine high places.
Tasuk khok baktiah ka khok hae ang sak pae moe, ka ohhaih hmuensangnawk ah ang suek.
34 He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
Misatuk kop hanah ka ban ang patoh pae, to naah ni ka ban mah sum kalii to takoih thai vop.
35 Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase.
Kai nang pakaa moe, na pahlonghaih to nang paek: na bantang ban hoiah nang zaeh moe, na tuinom hoihaih hoiah nang lensak boeh.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid.
Ka caehhaih loklam to na kawksak pongah, ka khok hae amkhraeng thai ai.
37 I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them.
Ka misanawk ka patom moe, ka kae: nihcae amro ai karoek to kam laem let ai.
38 I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.
Nihcae loe ka khok tlim ah amtimh o: angthawk thai ai khoek to nihcae to ka tit.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me.
Misatuk hanah thacakhaih kazii hoiah nang zaeng; ka misanawk ka khok tlim ah na kuepsak.
40 And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
Kai hnuma kaminawk ka hum thai hanah, ka misanawk ih tahnongnawk doeh nang paek.
41 They cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not.
Nihcae loe hang o, toe pahlongkung tawn o ai; Angraeng khaeah a hang o, toe anih mah pathim pae ai.
42 Then I did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes.
To naah nihcae to adip pueng ah ka hnoih moe, takhi nuiah maiphu takhoek ih baktih toengah ka takhoek: nihcae to loklam ih maiphu baktiah ka haeh.
43 Thou hast deliuered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I haue not knowen, shall serue me.
Kai naeh kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah nang loisak moe, sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ih lu ah nang suek; panoek ai ih kaminawk doeh kai ih tok to a sak o.
44 As soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me.
Kai ih tamthang a thaih o naah, ka lok to tahngaih o; panoek ai ih kaminawk loe angmacae koeh ah ka hmaa ah ang paek o.
45 Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
Panoek ai ih kaminawk loe palung boeng o moe, angmacae ohhaih ahmuen hoi tasoehhaih hoiah angzoh o.
46 Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my saluation be exalted.
Angraeng loe hing! Ka lungsong loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe! Kai pahlongkung Sithaw loe, pakoehhaih om nasoe.
47 It is God that giueth me power to auenge me, and subdueth the people vnder me.
Kai hanah lulak moe, kaminawk kai tlim ah kuepsakkung loe, Sithaw ni.
48 O my deliuerer from mine enemies, euen thou hast set mee vp from them, that rose against me: thou hast deliuered mee from the cruell man.
Ka misanawk thung hoiah anih mah ang pahlong; ue, ka misanawk ranuiah kai nang toengh tahang: amrosak thaih kami ban thung hoiah nang pahlong.
49 Therefore I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the nations, and wil sing vnto thy Name.
To pongah aw Angraeng, kai loe Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah, nang khaeah anghoehaih lawk ka thuih moe, na hmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
50 Great deliuerances giueth hee vnto his King, and sheweth mercie to his anoynted, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
Anih mah angmah ih siangpahrang khaeah kalen parai loisakhaih to paek moe, situi a bawh ih David hoi angmah ih acaengnawk khaeah boeng thai ai palungnathaih to amtuengsak.
