Psalms 143
1 “A psalm of David.” O Lord, hear my prayer, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, kaie ratoum lawk heh na thai pouh haw. Kai ni ka kâhei e hah na thai pouh haw.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant; for no living man can be regarded righteous before thee.
Nange yuemkamcunae lahoi thoseh, nange lannae lahoi thoseh, kai hah na pato haw. Nange na san hoi lawkcengnae koe na kâenkhai hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kahring e tami buet touh boehai na hmalah a lan tie awm hoeh.
3 For the enemy hath pursued my soul; he hath crushed to the ground my life; he hath made me dwell in darkness, as those that are dead eternally.
Atangcalah taran ni ka hringnae heh a rektap teh, ka hringnae hai talai dawk rekrek a suk teh, ngailawi kasawlah kadout tangcoung e patetlah hmonae um hai kai hah na o sak.
4 And my spirit within me is overwhelmed: in my bosom is my heart astounded.
Kai teh, ka lung apout teh ka thung vah ka lung a rek.
5 I remember the days of olden times: I meditate on all thy doings: on the work of thy hands do I reflect.
Kaloum tangcoung e a hninnaw hah ka pouk teh, Bawipa ni a sak e hnonaw hoi kut hoi a sak e hnonaw hah luepluep ka pouk.
6 I spread forth my hands unto thee: my soul [longeth] for thee, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
Bawipa nang koe ka kut ka daw. Talai ka ke e patetlah ka hringnae ni nang teh na doun. (Selah)
7 Hasten, answer me, O Lord, my spirit falleth: hide not thy face from me, that I may not become like those that go down into the pit.
Oe BAWIPA karanglah na pato haw. Ka muitha teh a tha abaw toe. Kai teh duenae tangkawm dawk ka kum hane tami patetlah alouklah na kangvawi takhai hanh loe.
8 Cause me to hear in the morning thy kindness; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way whereon I should walk; for unto thee do I lift up my soul.
Amom vah nange pahrenlungmanae hah na thai sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai ni nang teh na kâuep toe. Ka dawn hane lamthung hah na panuek sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae ni nang doeh na kângue toe.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies: by thee do I seek shelter.
Oe BAWIPA, ka tarannaw e kut dawk hoi kai hah na hlout sak haw. Kai teh nang doeh na kângue.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; guide me on a level land.
Nange ngainae ka tawk thai nahan, na cangkhai haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh kaie Cathut lah na o. Nange Muitha teh ahawi, kai hah lamkalan dawk na thak lawiseh.
11 For thy sake, O Lord, revive me: in thy righteousness bring forth out of distress my soul.
Oe BAWIPA na min kecu dawk kai hah na hring sak haw. Na lannae kecu dawk ka hringnae hah runae thung hoi rasat haw.
12 And in thy kindness destroy my enemies, and annihilate all the adversaries of my soul; far I am thy servant.
Kai teh nange san lah ka o dawkvah, namae pahrenlungmanae lahoi ka tarannaw hah, na takhoe pouh haw.
