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.

Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka phuenangnae dawk, ka lawk na thai pouh haw. Ka tarannaw ka takinae koehoi ka hringnae na khetyawt lawih.

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

Tamikathoutnaw e kâdeikâpannae koehoi thoseh, Payonnae kasaknaw kamkhuengnae koehoi thoseh, na ngue haw.

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

Ahnimouh ni amamae lai hah, tahloi patetlah a hran sak awh.

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

Yonnae ka tawn hoeh e tami hah arulahoi ka hanelah, lawkthoeumkha pala hoi a nue awh teh, takinae tawn laipalah vaitalahoi ouk a ka awh.

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

Hawihoehnae dawk buet touh hoi buet touh a kâhroecoe awh. Tangkhek patung hanelah a kâpan awh teh, apinimouh na hmu han vah ouk ati awh.

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

Hawihoehnae hah ma hanelah a pâphue awh. Ngit a pâphue awh. Lungthin thung lengkaleng a pouknae teh a dungpoung.

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

Ahnimouh teh Cathut ni pala hoi a ka vaiteh, pouk laipalah hmâ a ca awh han.

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

A dei awh e lawk dawk letlang a rawp sak vaiteh, ka hmawt e pueng ni a yawng takhai awh han.

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

Tami pueng ni taket vaiteh, Cathut ni a sak e doeh tie a pâpho awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmantang a sak awh e hah a pouk awh han.

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

Tamikalan teh BAWIPA dawk konawm vaiteh, ama hah a kâuep han. A lungthin kalan e pueng ni a pholen awh han.
