Psalms 140

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O YHWH, from an evil man, Keep me from one of violence.

O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in, pumhat-a natong hoa kon'in neihoidohsah'in,

2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.

ajeh chu alung sung'uva thilse jeng agong un, beitih um louvin gal abol jiuvin ahi.

3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of a viper [is] under their lips. (Selah)

Alei gui-u gul in mi achuh bang in amang chauvin, athuseidoh jouseu jong gul-gu tobang ahi.

4 Preserve me, YHWH, from the hands of the wicked, Keep me from one of violence, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.

O Yahweh Pakai, miphalou ho khutna kon hin neihoidoh in, pumhatna natong hoa kon'in neihuhdoh in; ajeh chu kakipal lhuhna din thisle jeng agong un ahi.

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)

Mi kiletsah hon kei matna din thang akam un, khao ajan-doh'un lampi dunga thang ei-kampeh'un ahi.

6 I have said to YHWH, “You [are] my God, Hear, YHWH, the voice of my supplications.”

Keiman Yahweh Pakai kom'a, “Nangma hi ka Pathen Elohim nahi!” O Yahweh Pakai, khotona dinga kataona nei sanpeh tan.

7 O YHWH, my Lord, strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of armor.

O Yahweh Pakai hatchungnung, athahat pan-a eihuhdoh pa; nangman gal kisat nikhoa nei huhdoh ahi.

8 Do not grant, O YHWH, the desires of the wicked, Do not bring forth his wicked scheme, They are high. (Selah)

Yahweh Pakai, migilouho adei bang'in chesah hih'in, athilse gonhou chu lolhin sahhih'in; achuti louva ahileh kiletsahna dim diu ahi.

9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covers them.

Kagal miten kachunga thil phalou tohgon anei jal un, manthah nan lhung u-hen.

10 They cause burning coals to fall on themselves, He casts them into fire, Into deep pits—they do not arise.

Meiam kong chu alu chunguvah chuhsah'in, meilah'a seplut in; ahilouleh ajamdoh louna diu twiveina kotong'ah lhalut jeng u-hen.

11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence—evil hunts to overflowing.

Ka gamsung uva hin ajou jouva mihehse ho khantousah hihbeh'in, pumhat'a natong ho achunguva thilse chuhsah'in lang sumang in.

12 I have known that YHWH executes The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.

Hinlah suhgentheija umte Yahweh Pakai in asumil poi, ti kahen; Aman vaichate thu adih'a atanpeh ding ahi, ti kahei.

13 Surely the righteous give thanks to Your Name, The upright dwell with Your presence!

Tahbeh'in mi kitah hon namin athangvah diu, chule michonpha ho na kom'a cheng diu ahi.
