Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.
Aw Bawipa, dyngnaak ing ka thoeh law ve za nawhtaw, kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah. Kak cykcahnaak benna nang haa keeng lah-qaai kqawnnaak hui awhkawng ak law awi amni.
2 Let my judgment come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold equity.
Nang a ven awhkawng kak khanawh awi tlyhnaak law seitaw ak thym ik-oeih ce namik ing hu lah seh.
3 Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night; Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not that I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.
Kak kawlung ve nik ching nawh than awh ni hqip lah, ni nai ni nawng hlai hyk ti, kaw awm am hu kawp ti; kam kha ing am thlawlh tikaw ti hawh nyng.
4 As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
Thlanghqing a ik-oeih sai amyihna - na hui awhkaw awi ing thlak chekhqi cehnaak lam awh am ka paanaak aham khoem qu hawh nyng.
5 My steps have held fast to Thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
Ka khawkham ing na lam hquut nawh; ka khaw ing am bah man hy.
6 As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
Aw Khawsa nang ce nik khy nyng, nang ing nim hlat kawm tiksaw; nang haa keng law nawh kak cykcahnaak awi ve za lah.
7 Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand from assailants them that take refuge in Thee.
Qaal anglakawhkawng nang awh thuknaak sui nawh tang kut ing ak hulkung, na lungnaak ak bau soeih ce dang sak lah.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
Na mik thlang amyihna ni qym nawh, nang hla khuiawh ning thuk sak lah.
9 From the wicked that oppress, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
Kai cem a qaal na anik thawh sihkhqi ingkaw kai anik chung khoep ka pumsa qaal anglakawhkawng.
10 Their gross heart they have shut tight, with their mouth they speak proudly.
Am thin ak sah thlang na awm unawh, am kha ing cawngcah qunaak awi kqawn uhy.
11 At our every step they have now encompassed us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
Ka hu thuih law unawh nik chung khoep hawh uhy, Deklai khawngnaak aham ni mik lyl na hawh uhy.
12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
Mehsa buh na cawi khit nawh, ak plup nakawng qamsa cuuk sih aham ak cai samthyyn amyihna awm uhy.
13 Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;
Aw Bawipa, tho lah, a mingmih ce mam khqi nawh, tluk sak khqi lah; nak zawzi ing thlak che kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
14 From men, by Thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure; who have children in plenty, and leave their abundance to their babes.
Aw Bawipa, na kut ing ce mih thlangkhqi, ve khawmdek hqing khui doeng awhkaw laksawng ak takhqi a kut khui awhkawng ni hlam lah. Thlangkhqi amik phoen ce kawn ing be sak khqi nawh, a canaakhqi awm kqeng nawh ami cakhqi aham khawhthem ce cun pek khqi uhy.
15 As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
Kai ingtaw dyngnaak ing na myi ce hu kawng; ka hang hqyng law awh, na myi ak lo na ka awm ce hu nyng saw kang ngaih tlyp tikaw.
