Psalms 44
1 For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us; a work Thou didst in their days, in the days of old.
[Aka mawt ham Korah ca rhoek kah Hlohlai] Pathen aw, hlamat kum kah amamih tue ah na saii khoboe te, a pa rhoek loh kaimih ham a tae uh tih, kaimih hna neh ka yaak uh coeng.
2 Thou with Thy hand didst drive out the nations, and didst plant them in; Thou didst break the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
Na kut neh namtom na haek tih a pa rhoek te na thoh. Namtu te talh sak ham a pa rhoek na hlun.
3 For not by their own sword did they get the land in possession, neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou wast favourable unto them.
A cunghang loh khohmuen pang sak uh pawt tih a bantha loh amih a khang moenih. Tedae amih te na moeithen dongah na bantang kut kah na bantha, na maelhmai kah khosae nen ni na khang.
4 Thou art my King, O God; command the salvation of Jacob.
Ka manghai Pathen nang loh Jakob kah khangnah ham uen lah.
5 Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.
Nang rhang neh ka rhal rhoek te ka thoeh uh. Kaimih taengkah aka tlai rhoek na ming neh ka suntlae uh.
6 For I trust not in my bow, neither can my sword save me.
Ka liva dongah ka pangtung pawt tih ka cunghang loh kai n'khang moenih.
7 But Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
Tedae ka rhal kut lamkah kaimih nan khang tih kaimih kah ka lunguet rhoek te na yah sak.
8 In God have we gloried all the day, and we will give thanks unto Thy name for ever. (Selah)
Hnin takuem Pathen rhang neh ka thangthen uh tih na ming te kumhal duela ka uem uh ni. (Selah)
9 Yet Thou hast cast off, and brought us to confusion; and goest not forth with our hosts.
Tedae nan hlahpham tih kaimih kah hmaithae na saii dae ka caempuei taengla na pawk tloe moenih.
10 Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary; and they that hate us spoil at their will.
Rhal taeng lamkah kaimih he a hnuk la let nan khuen vaengah ka lunguet rhoek loh amamih vik te tukvat uh thae.
11 Thou hast given us like sheep to be eaten; and hast scattered us among the nations.
Boiva bangla kaimih he maeh la nan mop tih namtom taengah kaimih he nan thaek nan yak.
12 Thou sellest Thy people for small gain, and hast not set their prices high.
A rhoeh pawt dongah na pilnam na yoih dae amih phu nen khaw na rhoeng hae pawh.
13 Thou makest us a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
Imben rhoek ham kokhahnah, tamdaengnah neh kaepvai kah soehsalnah la kaimih nan khueh.
14 Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
Namtom rhoek taengah thuidoeknah neh namtu pawt kah lu thuknah ham ni kaimih he nan khueh.
15 All the day is my confusion before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
Kamah kah mingthae loh hnin takuem kamah hmuh ah om tih,
16 For the voice of him that taunteth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the revengeful.
Aka veet kah ol neh thunkha nah phu aka lo kah mikhmuh ah a hliphen dongah ka maelhmai he yahpohnah loh a thing khoep.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we been false to Thy covenant.
He boeih loh kaimih taengah ha pai dae nang kan hnilh uh pawt tih na paipi dongah rhi ka lat uh moenih.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from Thy path;
Ka lungbuei he a hnuk la balkhong pawh. Kaimih khokan long khaw na caehlong te phaelh pawh.
19 Though Thou hast crushed us into a place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
Tedae pongui kho ah kaimih nan phen tih dueknah hlipkhup neh nan khuk thil.
20 If we had forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
Ka Pathen ming ka hnilh uh tih rhalawt pathen taengah kut ka phuel uh atah,
21 Would not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
Lungbuei kah a huephael aka ming Pathen loh hekah he khe mahpawt a?
22 Nay, but for Thy sake are we killed all the day; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nang ham dongah maeh aka ngawn kah boiva la poek uh tih hnin takuem ah kaimih n'ngawn uh.
23 Awake, why sleepest Thou, O Lord? Arouse Thyself, cast not off for ever.
Haenghang laeh ba dongah lae na ih. Ka Boeipa, thoo laeh a yoeyah la nan hlahpham tarha mahpawh.
24 Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
Ba dongah lae na hmai na thuh tih kaimih pum kah phacipphabaem neh hnaemtaeknah na hnilh?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
Kaimih hinglu loh laipi dongla ngam tih kaimih bung loh diklai la khoem uh coeng.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for Thy mercy's sake.
Kaimih kah bomkung aw thoo lamtah na sitlohnah dongah kaimih n'lat dae.
