Psalms 18
1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord; [the words] which he spoke to the Lord, [even] the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said: I will love you, O Lord, my strength.
Aka mawt ham, A thunkha boeih kah kut neh Saul kut lamkah a BOEIPA loh a huul khohnin vaengah hekah laa lung he BOEIPA taengah aka thui David, BOEIPA sal kah Te dongah, “Kai kah ka thadueng, BOEIPA nang te kan haidam,” a ti.
2 The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; [he is] my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.
BOEIPA tah ka thaelpang, ka rhalvong neh kai aka hlawt, ka Pathen, ka lungpang la om. Amah dongah ka ying tih ka photling, daemnah molsom, neh ka imsang la om.
3 I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.
Thang then ham aka koih BOEIPA te ka khue vaengah ka thunkha rhoek kut lamkah ka daem.
4 The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.
Dueknah rhuihet loh kai n'yen tih aka muen soklong loh kai n'let sak.
Saelkhui kah rhuihet loh kai m'ven tih dueknah hlaeh loh kai m'mah. (Sheol h7585)
6 And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, [even] into his ears.
Ka kho a bing vaengah BOEIPA te ka khue tih ka Pathen taengah ka pang. A bawkim lamloh ka ol a yaak tih ka pang ol loh amah hmai neh a hna khuila a pha.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.
Te vaengah diklai tuen tih hinghuen. Amah taengah a sai dongah tlang yung rhoek khaw tlai uh tih tuen uh.
8 There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.
A hnarhong lamkah hmaikhu thoeng tih a ka lamkah hmai loh a laeh vaengah hmai-alh khaw tak.
9 And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.
Te phoeiah vaan te a koiloep tih a suntlak vaengah yinnah tah a kho hmui la pawk.
10 And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.
Cherub dongah ngol bal tih a ding vaengah khohli phae soah ding hang.
11 And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, [even] dark water in the clouds of the air.
Khohmuep te a kaepvai kah a hlipyingnah la, khomong khomai kah tamyin tui te a dungtlungim la a khueh.
12 At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
Amah hmai kah a aa te a khomai khui lamkah rhael neh hmai alh la coe.
13 The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA tah vaan lamkah loh ha kawk tih Khohni loh a ol a huel vaengah rhael neh hmai alh la thoeng.
14 And he sent forth [his] weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.
A thaltang a kah tih amih te a taek a yaak. Rhaek neh a daeh tih amih te a khawkkhek.
15 And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of your wrath.
Na thintoek kah na hiil yilh neh BOEIPA nang kah tluungnah dongah sokca kah tui phoe tih lunglai khaw a yung hoep.
16 He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.
A sang lamloh yueng uh tih tui dueng khui kah kai he n'tuuk tih n'doek.
17 He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.
Kai ham tah tlung uh coeng dae ka thunkha hlangtlung taeng lamkah neh ka lunguet taeng lamloh kai n'huul.
18 They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against [them].
Ka rhainah khohnin ah amih loh kai m'mah uh cakhaw kai ham tukcawt longkhawn la BOEIPA om.
19 And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.
Tedae ka khuiah a naep dongah kai he a hoengpoeknah la n'thak tih kai n'pumcum sak.
20 And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.
Ka duengnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai n'thuung tih ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah ha mael.
21 For I have kept the way of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.
BOEIPA kah longpuei ka ngaithuen tih ka Pathen taeng lamkah ka poehlip van pawh.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.
Te dongah a laitloeknah boeih te kamah hmai ah ka khueh tih a khosing te kamah taeng lamkah ka phaelh pawh.
23 And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine iniquity.
Amah hmaiah cuemthuek la ka om tih kamah kathaesainah lamloh khaw ka cue uh.
24 And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
Te dongah ka duengnah neh amah mikhmuh ah ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah BOEIPA loh n'thuung coeng.
25 With the holy you will be holy; and with the innocent man you will be innocent.
Hingcim taengah uepom la na om tih, cuemthuek hlang taengah na cungkuem coeng.
26 And with the excellent [man] you will be excellent; and with the perverse you will show frowardness.
Aka meet uh taengah na meet uh tih voeldak te tah na hnueih.
27 For you will save the lowly people, and will humble the eyes of the proud.
Namah loh pilnam mangdaeng te na khang tih mikhmuh kah aka pomsang rhoek khaw na kunyun sak.
28 For you, O Lord, will light my lamp: my God, you will lighten my darkness.
Ka BOEIPA Pathen namah loh ka hmaithoi nan tok tih ka hmaisuep khaw a tue.
29 For by you shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over a wall.
Namah neh caem ka poeng tih ka Pathen nen tah pangbueng khaw ka poe thai.
30 [As for] my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.
Pathen tah a longpuei khangmai tih BOEIPA tah olthui a cimcaih dongah anih khuiah aka ying boeih ham tah photling la a om pah.
31 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?
BOEIPA phoeiah Pathen te unim? Mamih kah Pathen phoeiah tah unim lungpang bal?
32 [It is] God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:
Pathen loh kai he khuehtawn m'vah sak tih, ka longpuei khangmai la a khueh.
33 who strengthens my feet as hart's feet, and sets me upon high places.
Ka kho he sayuk bangla han saii tih, ka hmuensang ah kai m'pai sak.
34 He instructs my hands for war: and you have made my arms [as] a brazen bow.
Ka kut he caemtloek ham a cang tih, ka ban loh rhohum lii khaw a phuk thai.
35 And you have made me secure in my salvation: and your right hand has helped me, and your correction has upheld me to the end; yes, your correction itself shall instruct me.
Namah kah khangnah photling te kai taengah nan paek tih, na bantang kut loh kai n'duel. Te dongah na kodonah neh kai nan rhoeng sak.
36 You has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.
Ka kungdak kah ka kholaeh khaw na aeh dongah ka kho paloe pawh.
37 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.
Ka thunkha rhoek te ka hloem tih amih te ka kae phoeiah amih ka khah hlanah ka balkhong moenih.
38 I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
Amih te ka phop daengah ni thoo uh thai pawt tih ka kho tangah a bakop uh.
39 For you have girded me with strength for war: you have beaten down under me all that rose up against me.
Caemtloek ham khaw kai he thadueng nan vah sak tih kai aka tlai thil rhoek te kamah hmuila na koisu.
40 And you has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and you have destroyed them that hated me.
Te dongah ka thunkha rhoek kah a rhawn te kai taengah na duen sak tih ka lunguet te ka biit.
41 They cried, but there was no deliverer: [even] to the Lord, but he listened not to them.
BOEIPA taengah pang uh coeng dae khang voel pawt tih amih te doo voel pawh.
42 I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.
Te dongah amih te khohli hman kah laipi bangla ka neet tih long kah tangnong bangla ka hawk.
43 Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: you shall make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,
Pilnam kah tuituknah khui lamkah kai nan hlawt. Namtom kah a lu la kai nan khueh ming pawt pilnam loh kai taengah tho a thueng.
44 at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.
Ka ol te a hna dongah olthang la a yaak uh vaengah kholong ca rhoek loh kai taengah mai a tum uh.
45 The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.
Kholong ca rhoek loh tahah uh tih amamih vongtung khui lamkah samoe uh.
46 The Lord lives; and blessed [be] my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
BOEIPA he hingnah la a om dongah ka lungpang tah a yoethen pai tih ka daemnah Pathen tah pomsang pai saeh.
47 [It is] God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;
Pathen loh kai hamla tawnlohnah a paek dongah kai dangah ni pilnam a voek.
48 my deliverer from angry enemies: you shall set me on high above them that rise up against me: you shall deliver me from the unrighteous man.
Ka thunkha rhoek taeng lamkah kai nan hlawt, kai aka tlai thil soah kai nan pomsang bal. Hlang kah kuthlahnah lamkah kai nan huul.
49 Therefore will I confess to you, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.
Te dongah BOEIPA nang te namtom taengah kan uem vetih na ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
50 [God] magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
A manghai kah khangnah tah len khaw len pai. Te dongah ni sitlohnah he a koelh taengah khaw, David neh a tiingan taengah khaw kumhal duela a saii pah.
