Psalms 71
1 In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be disappointed for all time.
Aw Angraeng, nang thungah ni kang hawk; natuek naah doeh azathaih na tongsak hmah.
2 You deliver me in Your righteousness, And cause me to escape, Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
Na toenghaih hoi pahlong ah loe, na loisak ah; kai khaeah na naa to patueng ah loe, na pahlong ah.
3 Be a rock to me—a habitation, To go in continually, You have given command to save me, For You [are] my rock and my bulwark.
Ka phak thaihaih ahmuen kruekah, ka buephaih ah om ah; nang loe ka lungsong hoi kang vaenghaih ah na oh pongah, kai pahlong hanah lok na paek boeh.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
Aw ka Sithaw, kami zaenawk ih ban thung hoiah pahlong ah, katoeng ai kami hoi hmawsaeng kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah na pahlong ah.
5 For You [are] my hope, O Lord YHWH, My trust from my youth.
Aw Angraeng Sithaw, nang loe ka oephaih akung pui ah na oh; ka thendoeng nathuem hoi boeh ni nang loe kang oephaih ah na oh.
6 I have been supported from the womb by You, You cut me out from my mother’s bowels, My praise [is] continually in You.
Ka tapen tangsuek nathuem hoi nang khaeah kam ha boeh; nang mah ni kam no zok thung hoiah nang lak. Nang loe dungzan ah kang pakoeh han.
7 I have been as a wonder to many, And You [are] my strong refuge.
Kai loe kanoih kaminawk dawnrai han koi ah ni ka oh; toe nang loe kacak ka buephaih ah na oh.
8 My mouth is filled [with] Your praise, All the day [with] Your beauty.
Ka pakha loe athun qui nang pakoehhaih, na lensawkhaih hoiah koi nasoe.
9 Do not cast me off at the time of old age, Do not forsake me according to the consumption of my power.
Kai mitong naah na pahnawt sut hmah; ka thaboeng naah na caeh taak hmah.
10 For my enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
Ka misanawk loe kai aekhaih lok to thuih o; ka hinghaih patoem kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o,
11 Saying, “God has forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.”
anih loe Sithaw mah pahnawt sut boeh; patom oh loe naeh oh; anih bomkung mi doeh om ai boeh, tiah a thuih o.
12 O God, do not be far from me, O my God, make haste for my help.
Aw Sithaw, kangthla ah na om taak ving hmah; aw ka Sithaw, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo ah!
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
Ka hinghaih misa ah poek kaminawk loe azathaih hoiah anghma angtaa o nasoe; kai nganbawh kana paek han pakrong kaminawk loe pronghaih hoi ahminsethaih mah kraeng khoep nasoe.
14 And I continually wait with hope, And have added to all Your praise.
Toe kai loe oephaih ka tawnh poe pongah, nang to kang pakoeh aep aep han.
15 My mouth recounts Your righteousness, All the day Your salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
Nazetto maw tiah ka panoek ai cadoeh, ka pakha mah na toenghaih hoi na pahlonghaih to ni thokkruek thui tih.
16 I come in [the] might of Lord YHWH, I mention Your righteousness—Yours alone.
Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw thacakhaih hoiah ka caeh, na toenghaih khue ni ka thuih han.
17 God, You have taught me from my youth, And until now I declare Your wonders.
Aw Sithaw, ka thendoeng nathuem hoiah nang patuk boeh; na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to vaihni khoek to ka thuih.
18 And also to old age and grey hairs, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to a generation, Your might to everyone that comes.
Aw Sithaw, kai loe vaihi mitong boeh, na thacakhaih to sampok khoek to, vaihi dung ih kaminawk khaeah ka thuih moe, na sakthaihaih to angzo han koi kaminawk khaeah ka thui ai karoek to, na pahnawt sut hmah.
19 And Your righteousness, O God, [is] to the heights, Because You have done great things, O God, who [is] like You?
Aw Sithaw, kalen parai hmuennawk sahkung, na toenghaih loe van khoek to phak; Aw Sithaw, nang baktih mi maw kaom?
20 Because You have showed me many and sad distresses, You turn back—You revive me, And from the depths of the earth, You turn back—You bring me up.
Kalen parai raihaih to nang patuek boeh; nang mah nang hingsak let ueloe, kathuk long thung hoiah kai nang thawksak let tih.
21 You increase my greatness, And You surround—You comfort me,
Kai khosak hoihhaih to pungsak ueloe, na pathloep let tih.
22 I also thank You with a vessel of stringed instrument, Your truth, O my God, I sing to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
Aw ka Sithaw, nang hoi na loktang lok to katoeng hoiah kang pakoeh han; aw Israelnawk ih Ciimcai Sithaw, katoeng kruekhaih hoiah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to You, And my soul that You have redeemed,
Nang khaeah laa ka sak naah, ka palainawk anghoe o ueloe, na krang ih ka hinghaih doeh anghoe tih.
24 My tongue also utters Your righteousness all the day, Because ashamed—because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
Ni thokkruek ka palai mah na toenghaih to thui tih; kai nganbawh kana paek hanah pakrong kaminawk loe, azathaih to tongh o moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o sut boeh.
