Psalms 18
1 I will love you, O LORD, my strength.
Kak thaawmnaak na ak awm, Aw Bawipa, nang ce ni lungna nyng.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Bawipa taw ka lungnu, ka vawngcak ingkaw ka hulkung na awm hy: Khawsa taw kang thuknaak lungnu na awm hy. Amah taw ka phuhqa ingkaw ka hulnaak kii, vawngcak boeih na awm hy.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Kyihcah tyng Bawipa ce khy nyng saw, anih ing ka qaalkhqi anglakawhkawng ni hul hy.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
Thihnaak quikhqi ing ni pin nawh seetnaak tuiphu ing ni zawl khup hy.
Ceikhui quikhqi ing ni pin qap nawh; thihnaak dawng ing ni mam khoep hy. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
Kang ngaih a kyi awh Bawipa ce khy nyng; bawmnaak thoeh doena Khawsa venawh khy nyng. Anih ingtaw a bawkim awhkawng kak awi ning zaak pe nawh; kak khy awi ing a haiawh pha saw, ang haa khuiawh kun hy.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was angry.
Khawmdek ing tyn nawh thyn hy, ak kawsonaak awh tlangkhqi awm am cei dyna tyn boeih hy.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
Am haqawng khui awhkawng maikhu cawn nawh; mai kqawng ce am khak khui awhkawng cawn hy; cawhkawng mai ce alh hy.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
Myi ak than tit tit ce a khawk kai awh ta nawh; khan khawnghi ce hawi nawh kqum law hy.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
Chequbim ak khanawh ngawi nawh ang ding doena; zilh ang hla awhkawng hak pawm qu hy.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
A sing qunaak na than sai nawh, a ceng a cawi awh ak chung qunaak aham khan rawhnu pui tlan sak hy.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
Ak vang soeih haai awhkawng myi ak sah soeih ingkaw khawkphla ce thai sak hy.
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
Khan nakawng Bawipa hum khawmrang nawh; sawsang soeih awh ak awi hum dur dur hy.
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and humiliated them.
La ing kap nawh a qaalkhqi ce a thek a zak na kqeng sak khqi khawnghak nawh, khaw khawteh na phla sak tiksaw hquut khqi khawnghak hy.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
Aw Bawipa tuicunli ang lawngnaak ce sai pe nawh, khawmdek ang dyihnaak hun ce nam haqawng awhkaw nang hqi ing zyi nawh kaa na tiksaw, pho sak hyk ti.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
Anih ing khan ben nakawng a baan thla nawh; a nimtu coengawh tuili dung awhkawng nik dawk hy.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
Tha ak awm soeih qaal, am ka noeng thai khing ka thunkha khqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul hy.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
Ka seetnaak khawnghyp awh ni mam khoep u seiawm, Bawipa taw tha anik pekung na awm hy.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Anih ing a hoel a poeng na awmnaak hun na ni ceh pyi hy; kak khanawh ak kaw a law a dawngawh ni hul hy.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
Bawipa ing ka dyngnaak lawt amyihna khaw nik poek pehy; ka kut qawi a ciim lawt amyihna laksawng ce ni pehy.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Bawipa a lampyi ce ka hquut a dawngawh Khawsa cehta nawh thawlhnaak ce am sai nyng.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
Amah a cawngpyinaak awikhqi boeih ce ka haiawh awm nawh; ak awi tlypnaak ce am pleng taak man nyng.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
A haiawh coet kap kaana awm nawh, thawlhnaak ce hqe nyng.
24 Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Ka dyngnaak ingkaw amik huh awh ka kut qawi a ciim amyihna Bawipa ing laksawng ni pehy.
25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;
Ueppawm thlang venawh ypawm na dang pe tiksaw, coet amak kap thlang venawh coet a kap kaana dang pe hyk ti.
26 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the perverse you will show yourself perverse.
Ak zawziih thlang venawh ak zawziih na dang pe nawh, kawpoek ak kawi thlang venawh taw cyihnaak ce dang sak hyk ti.
27 For you will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks.
Dungvoeng na ak awmkhqi ce hul nawh ak thym na mik ak daikhqi ce ak nem na thla hyk ti.
28 For you will light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
Aw Bawipa, nang ing ka mai-im ve vang law sak loet nawh; ka Khawsa ing thannaak ce vangnaak na coeng law sak hyk ti.
29 For by you I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Nang ak pyinaak ak caming ni ka qaal hquut nawh, ka Khawsa ing ni vawng ka lyn thai.
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
Khawsa lampyi taw soep nawh Bawipa awi taw caih soeih hy. Amah awh ak thukkhqi boeih aham anih taw phuhqa na awm pehy.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
Bawipa coengawh u Khawsa nu ak awm bai? Ningmih a Khawsa am kaa taw u mih lungnu nu ak awm bai?
32 It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
Khawsa ing a bantha awm sak nawh ka lampyi soep sak hy.
33 He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
Ka khaw ce saksuk khaw amyihna ni sai pe nawh hun sang na ning dyih sak hy.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
Ka kutqawi ve qaal kahnaak ham ni cawng sak nawh, ka baan qawi ing qawhum la ce oi thai hy.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.
Noengnaak phuhqa ce nang ing ni pe nawh, nak tang kut ing nim tu hyk ti; dungvoeng na na awmnaak ing kai ni sang sak hyk ti.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
Ka khawk kai awhkaw lampyi ce kau law sak tiksaw, ka khaw am pleng thai voel hy.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I return till they were consumed.
Ka qaalkhqi ce hquut nawh khai khqi nyng, ama ming qeng hlan dy taw am hlat kawng.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
A mami thawh hqa kaana chawm khqi nyng, ka khawk kai na tlu boeih uhy.
39 For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Qaal tuk aham thamahnaak ing ni thoeihcam nawh, ka qaalkhqi ce ka khawk kai na koep sak hyk ti.
40 You have also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
Nang ing ka qaalkhqi hu benna cen sak khqi hyk ti, cawh kai ing him khqi pheng nyng.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
Khy laawt hlai uhy, cehlai a mingmih ak hul hly kawi pynoet awm am awm hy - Bawipa ing cekkhqi ak khynaak awi ce am hlat pehy.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
Zilh ing a zawn dekvai amyihna vyk khqi nyng saw, lam awhkaw nawngtui amyihna hawk khqi nyng.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
Kai anik tukkungkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul nawh; pilnam a lu na ni sai hawh hyk ti.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
Kai a thang aming zaak awh, kak awi ngai unawh; qapchang thlangkhqi ing ka haiawh pe qu law uhy.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
Amik kaw boet nawh; a mimah a vawng kulh khui nakawng thyn doena law uhy.
46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Bawipa taw hqing hy; ka lungnu venawh kyihcahnaak awm seh nyng! Ka hulkung Khawsa taw zoeksang na awm seh!
47 It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.
Anih taw kai aham kut anik thung peekkung Khawsa na awm nawh, pilnam thlang anik noeng sakkung na awm hy.
48 He delivers me from mine enemies: yea, you lift me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
Ka qaalkhqi ven awhkawng anik hulkung na awm hy. Nang ing ka qaalkhqik khanawh ni zoeksang nawh, khawboek chekhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul hyk ti.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto your name.
Cedawngawh aw Bawipa, nang ce pilnam thlangkhqing lak awh nim kyihcah vang; nang ming kyihcahnaak laa sa vang.
50 Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
Anih ing a sangpahqang venawh noengnaak ak bau soeih pe nawh; a caksak thlang venawh amak dyt thai qeennaak ce dang sak hy. David ingkaw a cadil naakhqi venawh kumqui dyna am qeennaak dang sak hy.
