Psalms 34
1 “By David, when he disguised his reason before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.” I will bless the Lord at all times: continually shall his praise be in my mouth.
Abimelek hmai ah a omih te a thovael tih a haek dongah a caeh vaengkah David A tuetang boeih dongah BOEIPA te ka uem vetih, ka ka dongah amah koehnah om yoeyah saeh.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear it, and be rejoiced.
Ka hinglu loh BOEIPA dongah thangthen saeh. kodo rhoek loh ya saeh lamtah a kohoe uh saeh.
3 Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
BOEIPA te kai neh pomsang uh sih lamtah a ming te tun pomsang uh sih.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and from all that I dreaded did he deliver me.
BOEIPA te ka tlap vaengah kai n'doo tih ka rhihnahkoi boeih lamloh kai n'huul.
5 They [who] looked unto him, were indeed enlightened, and their faces were not put to the blush.
BOEIPA te a paelki vaengah hlampan uh tih a maelhmai tal uh pawh.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and out of all his distresses did he save him.
Mangdaeng loh a khue te khaw BOEIPA loh a yaak dongah citcai boeih lamkah anih te a khang.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about those who fear him, and delivereth them.
Amah aka rhih rhoek kah kaepvai ah BOEIPA kah puencawn te rhaeh tih amih te a pumcum sak.
8 Experience and see that the Lord is good: happy is the man that trusteth in him.
Ten lamtah BOEIPA then tila hmuh lah. Amah dongah aka ying hlang tah a yoethen.
9 Oh fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to those who fear him.
Amah aka rhih rhoek ham tah a tloelnah a om pawt dongah a hlang cim rhoek loh BOEIPA te rhih uh lah.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not want any good.
Sathuengc a rhoek loh vawtthoek tih lamlum cakhaw BOEIPA aka tlap rhoek ham hnothen pakhat khaw vaitah uh uh mahpawh.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: the fear of the Lord will I teach you.
Camoe rhoek halo uh. Kai ol he ya uh lah. BOEIPA hinyahnah te nangmih kan cang puei eh.
12 Who is the man that desireth life, loveth [many] days, that he may see happiness?
Khohnin then hmuh ham aka lungnah tih hingnah dongah aka omtoem hlang te ulae?
13 Guard thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.
Na lai te a thae lamkah, na ka te thailatnah aka thui lamloh rhalrhing lah.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
A thae te nong tak lamtah hnothen te saii lah. Rhoepnah te tlap lamtah anih te hloem lah.
15 The eyes of the Lord are directed unto the righteous, and his ears unto their cry.
Hlang dueng rhoek soah BOEIPA mik om tih amih kah a pang uh te a hna a kaeng.
16 [But] the anger of the Lord is against those that do evil, to cut off from the earth their remembrance.
Thae aka saii rhoek te diklai kah poekkoepnah lamkah khoe ham BOEIPA loh a hmai a thuh.
17 Those cry, and the Lord heareth, and from all their distresses he delivereth them.
Hlang dueng rhoek apang uh vaengah BOEIPA loh a yaak tih amamih kah citcai boeih lamkah amih te a huul.
18 The Lord is nigh unto those that are broken-hearted: and he saveth those that are of a contrite spirit.
Lungbuei aka rhek taengah BOEIPA a yoei pah tih mueihla aka hnipdik te a khang.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord ever delivereth him.
Hlang dueng kah yoethae he yet dae yoethae khui boeih lamkah anih te BOEIPA loh a huul.
20 He watcheth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Anih kah a rhuh boeih a ngaithuen pah dongah pakhat khaw paep mahpawh.
21 The evil will slay the wicked: and they who hate the righteous shall incur guiltiness.
Halang te boethae loh a duek sak vetih, hlang dueng aka hmuhuet te boe ni.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and all that trust in him shall not incur guiltiness.
A sal rhoek kah a hinglu te BOEIPA loh a lat tih amah dongah aka ying boeih tah boe uh uh mahpawh.
