< Psalms 143 >
1 A Psalm of David. O LORD, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications; in Thy faithfulness answer me, and in Thy righteousness.
David kah Tingtoenglung. Aw BOEIPA, ka thangthuinah he hnatun lah. Na uepomnah dongah ka huithuinah he hnakaeng lamtah na duengnah neh kai n'doo lah.
2 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified.
Tedae mulhing boeih he namah mikhmuh ah a tang oeh pawt dongah na sal he khaw laitloeknah khuila na thak moenih.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath crushed my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
Thunkha loh ka hinglu a hloem tih ka hingnah diklai ah a phop. Khosuen kah aka duek bangla khohmuep ah kai kho n'sak sak.
4 And my spirit fainteth within me; my heart within me is appalled.
Te dongah ka mueihla loh ka khuiah rhae tih ka lungbuei khaw ka khui ah pong coeng.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Thy doing; I muse on the work of Thy hands.
Hlamat kah khohnin ka poek tih na bisai boeih te ka thuep vaengah na kut dongkah bitat te ka lolmang thil. (Selah)
6 I spread forth my hands unto Thee; my soul thirsteth after Thee, as a weary land. (Selah)
Namah taengah ni ka kut ka phuel. Ka hinglu he bumueh rhathih hmuen kah bangla namah taengah om. (Selah)
7 Answer me speedily, O LORD, my spirit faileth; hide not Thy face from me; lest I become like them that go down into the pit.
BOEIPA aw, ka mueihla a khum he tokthuet lamtah kai n'doo lah. Kai lamloh na maelhmai thuh boel mai. Tangrhom kah ka suntla banghui la ka om van ve.
8 Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul.
Namah dongah ka pangtung vanbangla na sitlohnah neh mincang ah kai n'hnatun lah. Ka caeh ham longpuei te kai ming sak lah. Ka hinglu he namah taengah kan tloeng coeng.
9 Deliver me from mine enemies, O LORD; with Thee have I hidden myself.
BOEIPA namah dongah ka kuep vanbangla ka thunkha kut lamloh kai n'huul lah.
10 Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God; let Thy good spirit lead me in an even land.
Ka Pathen la na om dongah na kolonah saii ham kai n'tukkil lah. Na Mueihla then loh tlangkol diklai ah kai m'mawt saeh.
11 For Thy name's sake, O LORD, quicken me; in Thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
BOEIPA namah ming ham ni na duengnah dongah kai nan hing sak. Ka hinglu khaw citcai lamkah ni na doek.
12 And in Thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that harass my soul; for I am Thy servant.
Te dongah ka thunkha khaw na sitlohnah neh na biit tih na sal kai ham tah ka hinglu aka daengdaeh boeih te na paltham sak.
