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.
Aka mawt ham, A thunkha boeih kah kut neh Saul kut lamkah a BOEIPA loh a huul khohnin vaengah hekah laa lung he BOEIPA taengah aka thui David, BOEIPA sal kah Te dongah, “Kai kah ka thadueng, BOEIPA nang te kan haidam,” a ti.
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.
BOEIPA tah ka thaelpang, ka rhalvong neh kai aka hlawt, ka Pathen, ka lungpang la om. Amah dongah ka ying tih ka photling, daemnah molsom, neh ka imsang la om.
3 I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
Thang then ham aka koih BOEIPA te ka khue vaengah ka thunkha rhoek kut lamkah ka daem.
4 The sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide.
Dueknah rhuihet loh kai n'yen tih aka muen soklong loh kai n'let sak.
Saelkhui kah rhuihet loh kai m'ven tih dueknah hlaeh loh kai m'mah. (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.
Ka kho a bing vaengah BOEIPA te ka khue tih ka Pathen taengah ka pang. A bawkim lamloh ka ol a yaak tih ka pang ol loh amah hmai neh a hna khuila a pha.
7 Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
Te vaengah diklai tuen tih hinghuen. Amah taengah a sai dongah tlang yung rhoek khaw tlai uh tih tuen uh.
8 Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat.
A hnarhong lamkah hmaikhu thoeng tih a ka lamkah hmai loh a laeh vaengah hmai-alh khaw tak.
9 He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
Te phoeiah vaan te a koiloep tih a suntlak vaengah yinnah tah a kho hmui la pawk.
10 And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.
Cherub dongah ngol bal tih a ding vaengah khohli phae soah ding hang.
11 He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.
Khohmuep te a kaepvai kah a hlipyingnah la, khomong khomai kah tamyin tui te a dungtlungim la a khueh.
12 At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire.
Amah hmai kah a aa te a khomai khui lamkah rhael neh hmai alh la coe.
13 The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA tah vaan lamkah loh ha kawk tih Khohni loh a ol a huel vaengah rhael neh hmai alh la thoeng.
14 Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them.
A thaltang a kah tih amih te a taek a yaak. Rhaek neh a daeh tih amih te a khawkkhek.
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.
Na thintoek kah na hiil yilh neh BOEIPA nang kah tluungnah dongah sokca kah tui phoe tih lunglai khaw a yung hoep.
16 He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.
A sang lamloh yueng uh tih tui dueng khui kah kai he n'tuuk tih n'doek.
17 He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me.
Kai ham tah tlung uh coeng dae ka thunkha hlangtlung taeng lamkah neh ka lunguet taeng lamloh kai n'huul.
18 They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
Ka rhainah khohnin ah amih loh kai m'mah uh cakhaw kai ham tukcawt longkhawn la BOEIPA om.
19 Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.
Tedae ka khuiah a naep dongah kai he a hoengpoeknah la n'thak tih kai n'pumcum sak.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:
Ka duengnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai n'thuung tih ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah ha mael.
21 Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.
BOEIPA kah longpuei ka ngaithuen tih ka Pathen taeng lamkah ka poehlip van pawh.
22 For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.
Te dongah a laitloeknah boeih te kamah hmai ah ka khueh tih a khosing te kamah taeng lamkah ka phaelh pawh.
23 I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.
Amah hmaiah cuemthuek la ka om tih kamah kathaesainah lamloh khaw ka cue uh.
24 Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.
Te dongah ka duengnah neh amah mikhmuh ah ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah BOEIPA loh n'thuung coeng.
25 With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
Hingcim taengah uepom la na om tih, cuemthuek hlang taengah na cungkuem coeng.
26 With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.
Aka meet uh taengah na meet uh tih voeldak te tah na hnueih.
27 Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.
Namah loh pilnam mangdaeng te na khang tih mikhmuh kah aka pomsang rhoek khaw na kunyun sak.
28 Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.
Ka BOEIPA Pathen namah loh ka hmaithoi nan tok tih ka hmaisuep khaw a tue.
29 For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall.
Namah neh caem ka poeng tih ka Pathen nen tah pangbueng khaw ka poe thai.
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.
Pathen tah a longpuei khangmai tih BOEIPA tah olthui a cimcaih dongah anih khuiah aka ying boeih ham tah photling la a om pah.
31 For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie saue our God?
BOEIPA phoeiah Pathen te unim? Mamih kah Pathen phoeiah tah unim lungpang bal?
32 God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright.
Pathen loh kai he khuehtawn m'vah sak tih, ka longpuei khangmai la a khueh.
33 He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine high places.
Ka kho he sayuk bangla han saii tih, ka hmuensang ah kai m'pai sak.
34 He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
Ka kut he caemtloek ham a cang tih, ka ban loh rhohum lii khaw a phuk thai.
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.
Namah kah khangnah photling te kai taengah nan paek tih, na bantang kut loh kai n'duel. Te dongah na kodonah neh kai nan rhoeng sak.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid.
Ka kungdak kah ka kholaeh khaw na aeh dongah ka kho paloe pawh.
37 I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them.
Ka thunkha rhoek te ka hloem tih amih te ka kae phoeiah amih ka khah hlanah ka balkhong moenih.
38 I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.
Amih te ka phop daengah ni thoo uh thai pawt tih ka kho tangah a bakop uh.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me.
Caemtloek ham khaw kai he thadueng nan vah sak tih kai aka tlai thil rhoek te kamah hmuila na koisu.
40 And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
Te dongah ka thunkha rhoek kah a rhawn te kai taengah na duen sak tih ka lunguet te ka biit.
41 They cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not.
BOEIPA taengah pang uh coeng dae khang voel pawt tih amih te doo voel pawh.
42 Then I did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes.
Te dongah amih te khohli hman kah laipi bangla ka neet tih long kah tangnong bangla ka hawk.
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.
Pilnam kah tuituknah khui lamkah kai nan hlawt. Namtom kah a lu la kai nan khueh ming pawt pilnam loh kai taengah tho a thueng.
44 As soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me.
Ka ol te a hna dongah olthang la a yaak uh vaengah kholong ca rhoek loh kai taengah mai a tum uh.
45 Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
Kholong ca rhoek loh tahah uh tih amamih vongtung khui lamkah samoe uh.
46 Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my saluation be exalted.
BOEIPA he hingnah la a om dongah ka lungpang tah a yoethen pai tih ka daemnah Pathen tah pomsang pai saeh.
47 It is God that giueth me power to auenge me, and subdueth the people vnder me.
Pathen loh kai hamla tawnlohnah a paek dongah kai dangah ni pilnam a voek.
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 thunkha rhoek taeng lamkah kai nan hlawt, kai aka tlai thil soah kai nan pomsang bal. Hlang kah kuthlahnah lamkah kai nan huul.
49 Therefore I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the nations, and wil sing vnto thy Name.
Te dongah BOEIPA nang te namtom taengah kan uem vetih na ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
50 Great deliuerances giueth hee vnto his King, and sheweth mercie to his anoynted, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
A manghai kah khangnah tah len khaw len pai. Te dongah ni sitlohnah he a koelh taengah khaw, David neh a tiingan taengah khaw kumhal duela a saii pah.
