Psalms 140
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O YHWH, from an evil man, Keep me from one of violence.
Aw Bawipa, thlakchekhqi kut khuiawh kawng ni hul lah; boeksekhqi a kut khui awhkawng nang ing nik chung lah,
2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
ak kawlung khuiawh ak che poeknaak doeng ta unawh myngawi qaal na tho loet uhy.
3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of a viper [is] under their lips. (Selah)
A mim laikhqi ce khqui am lai amyihna hqat sak unawh; khquihse a chy ce ami hui kqang awm hy.
4 Preserve me, YHWH, from the hands of the wicked, Keep me from one of violence, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
Aw Bawipa, thlakchekhqi kut khui awhkawng nang ing ni khoem lah; kai a khawkham lawlh sak aham ak cai thlakchekhqi anglakawhkawng ni hlip lah.
5 The proud hid a snare for me—and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, They have set snares for me. (Selah)
Ak oek qukhqi ing kai aham ang hyp na dawng dun law unawh; lawk qui ce zan law uhy, ka cehnaak lam boeih awh dun law uhy.
6 I have said to YHWH, “You [are] my God, Hear, YHWH, the voice of my supplications.”
Aw Bawipa, nang a venawh, “Nang taw ka Khawsa ni,” ti nyng. Aw Bawipa, qeennaak thoeh doena kang kqangnaak awi ve ngai law lah.
7 O YHWH, my Lord, strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of armor.
Aw Boeimang Khawsa, kai anik hulkung thakawm, qal tuknaak kung awh ka lu ak dah lawkung –
8 Do not grant, O YHWH, the desires of the wicked, Do not bring forth his wicked scheme, They are high. (Selah)
Aw Bawipa, thlakchekhqi a ngaihnaak ce koeh soep law pe sak; a ming cainaak awm koeh coeng sak, cemyih am mantaw oek qu hau kawm uh.
9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covers them.
Kai anik chungkhqi a lukhqi taw a mimah a hui ing ang coeng sak kyinaak ing sing pe seh.
10 They cause burning coals to fall on themselves, He casts them into fire, Into deep pits—they do not arise.
Maikqawng ce a mingmih ak khan awh tlaak pe seitaw; a mami thawh thai voel aham mai awh, lawk-kqawng khuina khawng u seh.
11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence—evil hunts to overflowing.
Qam khuiawh thlang kqawnseet na ak nget khqi ce koeh awm seh; boeksekhqi taw seetnaak ing a hu awh hquut seh.
12 I have known that YHWH executes The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
Bawipa ing thymnaak ce khawdengkhqi ham taak pe nawh ak voethlauhkhqi ce dawm a hlai hy tice sim nyng.
13 Surely the righteous give thanks to Your Name, The upright dwell with Your presence!
Thlakdyngkhqi ing nang ang ming ce kyihcah kawm usaw thlak leek khqi ce na haiawh awm kawm uh.
