Psalms 64

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

[Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung] Pathen aw ka kohuetnah ol he han ya lah. Thunkha kah birhihnah lamloh ka hingnah he hang kueinah lah.

2 Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

Thaehuet rhoek kah baecenol neh, boethae aka saii rhoihui kut lamkah, kai nan thuh.

3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

A lai te cunghang bangla haat tih, a ol khaa te thaltang la a nuen uh.

4 That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

A cuemthuek te a huephael lamloh a nuen tih, anih te buengrhuet a kah uh khaw rhih uh pawh.

5 They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

Ol thae doek ham amamih thaphoh uh thae tih, “Hlaeh tung uh sih lamtah unim aka hmuh ve?” a ti uh.

6 They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

Dumlai khaw a phuelhthaih uh tih, “Poeknah he khak n'uep coeng,” a ti uh. Te dongah hlang kah lungbuei khui he, a dung la om.

7 But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

Tedae amih te Pathen loh thaltang neh a kah buengrhuet vetih, hmasoe la om uh ni.

8 So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

Te vaengah amamih kah olka a tongtah uh te, aka hmuh boeih loh yong uh ni.

9 And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

Tedae hlang tom loh a rhih uh vaengah, Pathen kah a bisai te a thui uh vetih, a khoboe te a lungming puei uh ni.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Aka dueng te BOEIPA ah a kohoe saeh lamtah amah dongah ying saeh. Lungbuei aka thuem boeih khaw thangthen uh saeh.
