Psalms 18
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; And he said: I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Keiman nangma kangailui Yahweh Pakai; Nangma hi kathahatna nahi.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.
Yahweh Pakai hi kasongpi, kakulpi, chuleh eihuhhingpu ahin, Elohim ka Pathen hi kasongpi ahin eiveng tup jing ahi. Amahi kalumdal, eihuhhinga thahat chu ahin, chuleh kahoidohna munpi chu ahi.
3 Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
Keiman thangvah dinga lomtah Yahweh Pakai chu kakouvin, aman kamelmatea konnin eihuhdoh'in ahi.
4 The cords of Death compassed me, and the floods of Belial assailed me.
Thina khoisatna chun eiumkimvel tan, manthahna twipi chun eichup tan ahi.
Damun lungkhamna chun eiumkimvelin, kalampi a thinan thang akam e. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto His ears.
Ka lungkham val phatnin Yahweh Pakai chu kakouvin, Elohim ka Pathen komma chun panpi ngaichan kataovin Aman ahouin thenga konnin kataona asangin ahi.
7 Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations also of the mountains did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
Hi jouchun leiset akilingin akihot e. Molbul ho jeng jong kihot e ajeh chu Elohim Pathen lunghang a ahi.
8 Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
Yahweh Pakai nah hom a meikhu ahung potdoh in, meikou gimneitah akam a konnin ahungkou doh'in chuleh Mei-am al lenglung Ama-a konnin ahung koudoh'in ahi.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
Aman vanho chu ahongdoh'in meilom thimletlut chu ahin chotphan ahung kumsuh in,
10 And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He did swoop down upon the wings of the wind.
Yahweh Pakai chu vantil pipui khat chunga atouvin, huipi chu alhavingin amangin alengin ahi.
11 He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Yahweh Pakai chu muthim in ahung kitom in, meilom twi jingletlut pumin ahung lhungin ahi.
12 At the brightness before Him, there passed through His thick clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
Yahweh Pakai vah'in ahintom chu meilom satah'in ahinkhu khum in gelchang le mei-am chu gojuh'in ahung julhan ahi.
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
Yahweh Pakai chu vanna konnin ahung kisen in hatchungnung ogin chu gelchang leh mei-am koulah achun akithongin ahi.
14 And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
Aman athalpi ahin kapmin agalmiho chu athe cheh'in, avah em lahlah chun amaho chu asuboi gamtan ahi.
15 And the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.
O Yahweh Pakai nangin nagalmi ho napho a lunghangtah a nakisen chun twikhanglen ato geijin akikangin, leiset bulpi jouse jong akeuvin aumjie.
16 He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
Aman vanna konnin akhut ahin lhangin eihin kaidoh'in, twipi thuh lah'a kon in jong eikaidoh'in ahi.
17 He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Aman kagalmi hattah tah ho a konin eihuh doh in, kasang a hatjo ka dougal hoa kon in eihuhdoh'in ahi.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
Hahsatna kato pettah'in amahon eihin delkhum un ahinlah Yahweh Pakai in eipanpin ahi.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
Aman kahoidohna mun nah eipuilut in eihuhdoh tai ajeh chu ama kipana kahi.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
Yahweh Pakai in thildih kaboljeh in kipaman eipen mona kaneilou jeh'in eikiledohsah tai.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Keiman Yahweh Pakai lampi kajui in, thilse lam jon'in Elohim Pathen'a kon'in kakiheimang poi.
22 For all His ordinances were before me, and I put not away His statutes from me.
Keiman Yahweh Pakai chonphatna lampi kajui jingin, a Dan thupeh ho kapaidoh khapoi.
23 And I was single-hearted with Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Elohim Pathen masangah nolnabei kahin, chonsetna kon'in kaki kangse jing e.
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
Yahweh Pakai in thildih kaboljeh in Aman kipaman eipejin ahi. Aman themmonabei kahi amui.
25 With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright;
Mikitah kom'ah nangmatah jong nakitah'in, monabei ho kom'ah monabei nahi.
26 With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
Milungtheng ho kom'ah nalungtheng in ahinlah miphalouho kom'ah nakhohjin ahi.
27 For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.
Nangin mikineosah ho nahuhdohjin ahinla mikiletsah ho nasujumjin ahi.
28 For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth lighten my darkness.
Nangin thaomei neidetpeh'in, Yahweh Pakai, Elohim ka Pathen'in kamuthim jong neisalvah peh e.
29 For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall.
Nangma hatna chun kagalmi hi neisuhchip peh'in Elohim ka Pathen toh kapankhom poupou leh itobang bang sang hijongleh kakal ngapchan ahi.
30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
Elohim Pathen lampi chu nolnabei ahi! Yahweh Pakai kitepna jouse alolhing jinge. Amahi ahuhdoh ding ngaicha jouse dinga lum le pho ahi.
31 For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?
Yahweh Pakai tailou pathen dang um'am? Elohim Pathen tailou songpi det dang um'am?
32 The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;
Hiche Elohim Pathen hin eihatdoh sah'in kalampi jong hoibitnapen ahisah ahi.
33 Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
Aman molsang hahsa chung dunga kadindet theina din kakeng jong sakhi keng bang'in atah sah e.
34 Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
Aman kakhut teni jong galsatna a manthei dingin agongin, kabanjang jong sum-eng thalpi loithei dingin ahatsah'in ahi.
35 Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
Nangman nagaljona lum chu neipetan nabanjetnin neipanhun ahi. Neikithopina hin eithupi sah'in ahi.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
Nang man kakeng phang tenin alhonal louna dingin kalampi neikehlet peh'in ahi.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
Keiman kagalmite kadel'in kaman'in ahi; amahohi kajo kahsen katangpon ahi.
38 I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.
Amahohi ahung ki thodoh jou louna diuvin kasat lhun kakeng noijah akijammun ahi.
39 For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Nangin kagalsatna dingin thahatnan neivon in; Nangman kagalmite chu kakengphang noi a neikoipeh e.
40 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, and I did cut off them that hate me.
Nangin angongchang'u neichotpha sah'in eivetda ho jouse chu kasumang sohtan ahi.
41 They cried, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
Amahon panpi athummun koiman ahung huhdoh pouve. Amahon Yahweh Pakai akouvun ahinla Aman adonbut pon ahi.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Keiman amaho chu huilah a vutvai kithethang bangin tol ah kagoibong sel'in, bonlhoh lah'a kasunat gamatai.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
Nangin eihouse jing ho chungah galjona neipetan ahi. Nangin namtin vaipi chungah vaihom'in neipansah tan ahi. Kanahet phahlou miho jeng jong kalhachan ahungpang tauvin ahi.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they obey me; the sons of the stranger dwindle away before me.
Kamin ajah jah'un kanoijah alut un gamchommi hojeng jong ka-anga akisunem gamtauvin ahi.
45 The sons of the stranger fade away, and come trembling out of their close places.
Hansanna aneijou tapouvin kithing pumpum'in ka-ang ahinbel tauvin ahi.
46 The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation;
Yahweh Pakai ahing jinge, kasongpia apanjeh'in kathangvah e! Ka sochatna Elohim ka Pathen chu loupi jing tahen!
47 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
Amahi eibolse ho lethuh jinga Elohim ka Pathen chu ahin, aman namtin vaipi hi eisuhnem peh'in kanoijah eikoipeh tai.
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
Chuleh kagalmitea konnin eihuhdoh'in nangman kagalmiten aphah joulouna munnah neikoijin, eidouva mi-engse hoa konnin neihoidohsah tan ahi.
49 Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
Hichejeh hin O Yahweh Pakai namtin vaipi lah'a nathangvah ingkate, na min vahchoinan la sang nge.
50 Great salvation giveth He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
Nangin leng a natun pa din goljona loupitah chu napetai; Chuleh nathaonupa David leh achilhahte chunga nalungset longlou namusah e.
