Psalms 55
1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David.] Listen to my prayer, God. Do not hide yourself from my petition.
Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham David kah hlohlai Aw Pathen, ka thangthuinah he hnatun lamtah ka lungmacil te rhael boeh.
2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
Kai taengah hnatung lamtah kai n'doo dae. Ka kohuetnah neh ka van tih ka pang ka ngawl.
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
Halang kah phaepnah hman ah thunkha kah ol loh kai sola boethae han sop uh tih thintoek neh kai taengah a konaeh uh.
4 My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
Ka ko khuiah ka lungbuei loh phat tih dueknah mueirhih loh kai m'vuei khoep.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
Kai taengah rhihnah neh thuennah halo tih, tuennah loh kai n'thing.
6 I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove. Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
Te vaengah, “U long nim kai ham vahui bangla ka phae han khueh koinih ka ding vetih kho ka sak sue,” ka ti.
7 Look, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness." (Selah)
Yaoe A hla la ka cet sui tih, khosoek ah ka rhaehba mai lah sue. (Selah)
8 "I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm."
Kai taengkah khohli khui lamloh, hlipuei a tloh khui lamloh kuepkolnah la ka tawn uh sue.
9 Confuse them, LORD, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Ka Boeipa aw amih ol te haeh saeh lamtah dolh saeh, khopuei ah kuthlahnah neh tuituknah ni ka hmuh.
10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
Khoyin khothaih vongtung taengah vikvuek uh tih a ko khuiah boethae neh thakthaenah om.
11 Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies do not depart from her streets.
Talnah loh a ko khuiah om tih, hnaephnapnah neh thailatnah loh toltung lamkah nong voelpawh.
12 For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
Kai aka veet he ka thunkha moenih, anih koinih ka phueih pawn ni. Kai taengah aka pomsang uh te ka lunguet moenih. Te koinih anih taeng lamloh ka thuh tak ni.
13 But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
Tedae ka boeihlum neh ka thanat la ka hmaiben hlanghing khaw namah ni.
14 We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.
Baecenol neh tun ka tui uh tih, rhoihui neh Pathen im la ka cet uh coeng.
15 Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
Amih ko khuiah khaw, a lampahnah ah khaw thae uh. Te dongah amih te dueknah loh dueknah neh phae saeh lamtah, a hingnah te saelkhui la suntla uh saeh. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will call on God. The LORD will save me.
Pathen te kai loh ka khue tih BOEIPA loh kai n'khang.
17 Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
Hlaem, mincang neh khothun ah ka lolmang tih ka ko vaengah ka ol han yaak.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
Kai taengkah aka om rhoek he a yet dongah ka hinglu he caemrhal lamkah sading la n'lat.
19 God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and humble them. (Selah) They never change, who do not fear God.
Hlamat lamkah kho aka sa Pathen loh a yaak vetih amih te a phaep ni. (Selah) Amih taengah thovaelnah a om pawt bangla Pathen khaw rhih uh pawh.
20 He has stretched out his hand against those who were at peace with him. He has violated his covenant.
A ngaimongnah taengah a kut a hlah tih, a paipi a poeih.
21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
A ka te maehtha bangla hnal dae a lungbuei tah caemrhal la om. A olka te situi lakah yaai dae tumca a mukuh.
22 Throw your burden upon the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will never allow the righteous to be upended.
Na thinrhih te BOEIPA taengah hal lamtah amah loh nang n'cangbam bitni. Aka dueng te kumhal ah bung sak mahpawh.
23 But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
Tedae Pathen nang loh pocinah rhom khuila amih te na hlak ni. Hlang thii aka ngaih neh hlangthai palat kah khohnin te paekboe pah pawtnim? Kai long tah nang dongah ka pangtung ni.
