Psalms 140
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man;
O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in, pumhat-a natong hoa kon'in neihoidohsah'in,
2 Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars.
ajeh chu alung sung'uva thilse jeng agong un, beitih um louvin gal abol jiuvin ahi.
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom is under their lips. (Selah)
Alei gui-u gul in mi achuh bang in amang chauvin, athuseidoh jouseu jong gul-gu tobang ahi.
4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps slip.
O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou ho khutna kon hin neihoidoh in, pumhatna natong hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in; ajeh chu kakipal lhuhna din thisle jeng agong un ahi.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. (Selah)
Mi kiletsah hon kei matna din thang akam un, khao ajan-doh'un lampi dunga thang ei-kampeh'un ahi.
6 I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications.
Keiman Yahweh Pakai kom'a, “Nangma hi ka Pathen Elohim nahi!” O Yahweh Pakai, khotona dinga kataona nei sanpeh tan.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle,
O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, athahat pan-a eihuhdoh pa; nangman gal kisat nikhoa nei huhdoh ahi.
8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. (Selah)
Yahweh Pakai, migilouho adei bang'in chesah hih'in, athilse gonhou chu lolhin sahhih'in; achuti louva ahileh kiletsahna dim diu ahi.
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Kagal miten kachunga thil phalou tohgon anei jal un, manthah nan lhung u-hen.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Meiam kong chu alu chunguvah chuhsah'in, meilah'a seplut in; ahilouleh ajamdoh louna diu twiveina kotong'ah lhalut jeng u-hen.
11 A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; the violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust.
Ka gamsung uva hin ajou jouva mihehse ho khantousah hihbeh'in, pumhat'a natong ho achunguva thilse chuhsah'in lang sumang in.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy.
Hinlah suhgentheija umte Yahweh Pakai in asumil poi, ti kahen; Aman vaichate thu adih'a atanpeh ding ahi, ti kahei.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.
Tahbeh'in mi kitah hon namin athangvah diu, chule michonpha ho na kom'a cheng diu ahi.
