Psalms 18
1 [For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, ] I love you, LORD, my strength.
Kak thaawmnaak na ak awm, Aw Bawipa, nang ce ni lungna nyng.
2 The LORD is my Rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my Rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Bawipa taw ka lungnu, ka vawngcak ingkaw ka hulkung na awm hy: Khawsa taw kang thuknaak lungnu na awm hy. Amah taw ka phuhqa ingkaw ka hulnaak kii, vawngcak boeih na awm hy.
3 I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.
Kyihcah tyng Bawipa ce khy nyng saw, anih ing ka qaalkhqi anglakawhkawng ni hul hy.
4 The waves of death surrounded me, and the currents of ungodliness overwhelmed me.
Thihnaak quikhqi ing ni pin nawh seetnaak tuiphu ing ni zawl khup hy.
Ceikhui quikhqi ing ni pin qap nawh; thihnaak dawng ing ni mam khoep hy. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried out to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
Kang ngaih a kyi awh Bawipa ce khy nyng; bawmnaak thoeh doena Khawsa venawh khy nyng. Anih ingtaw a bawkim awhkawng kak awi ning zaak pe nawh; kak khy awi ing a haiawh pha saw, ang haa khuiawh kun hy.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Khawmdek ing tyn nawh thyn hy, ak kawsonaak awh tlangkhqi awm am cei dyna tyn boeih hy.
8 Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
Am haqawng khui awhkawng maikhu cawn nawh; mai kqawng ce am khak khui awhkawng cawn hy; cawhkawng mai ce alh hy.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
Myi ak than tit tit ce a khawk kai awh ta nawh; khan khawnghi ce hawi nawh kqum law hy.
10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
Chequbim ak khanawh ngawi nawh ang ding doena; zilh ang hla awhkawng hak pawm qu hy.
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his canopy around him thick clouds dark with water.
A sing qunaak na than sai nawh, a ceng a cawi awh ak chung qunaak aham khan rawhnu pui tlan sak hy.
12 From the brightness before him his thick clouds passed on, with hailstones and coals of fire.
Ak vang soeih haai awhkawng myi ak sah soeih ingkaw khawkphla ce thai sak hy.
13 The LORD also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice.
Khan nakawng Bawipa hum khawmrang nawh; sawsang soeih awh ak awi hum dur dur hy.
14 And he sent out arrows and scattered them, and he shot lightning bolts and routed them.
La ing kap nawh a qaalkhqi ce a thek a zak na kqeng sak khqi khawnghak nawh, khaw khawteh na phla sak tiksaw hquut khqi khawnghak hy.
15 And the depths of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
Aw Bawipa tuicunli ang lawngnaak ce sai pe nawh, khawmdek ang dyihnaak hun ce nam haqawng awhkaw nang hqi ing zyi nawh kaa na tiksaw, pho sak hyk ti.
16 He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
Anih ing khan ben nakawng a baan thla nawh; a nimtu coengawh tuili dung awhkawng nik dawk hy.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
Tha ak awm soeih qaal, am ka noeng thai khing ka thunkha khqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul hy.
18 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
Ka seetnaak khawnghyp awh ni mam khoep u seiawm, Bawipa taw tha anik pekung na awm hy.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Anih ing a hoel a poeng na awmnaak hun na ni ceh pyi hy; kak khanawh ak kaw a law a dawngawh ni hul hy.
20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
Bawipa ing ka dyngnaak lawt amyihna khaw nik poek pehy; ka kut qawi a ciim lawt amyihna laksawng ce ni pehy.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Bawipa a lampyi ce ka hquut a dawngawh Khawsa cehta nawh thawlhnaak ce am sai nyng.
22 For all his ordinances were before me. I did not put away his statutes from me.
Amah a cawngpyinaak awikhqi boeih ce ka haiawh awm nawh; ak awi tlypnaak ce am pleng taak man nyng.
23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
A haiawh coet kap kaana awm nawh, thawlhnaak ce hqe nyng.
24 Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Ka dyngnaak ingkaw amik huh awh ka kut qawi a ciim amyihna Bawipa ing laksawng ni pehy.
25 With the faithful you show yourself faithful. With the innocent you show yourself innocent.
Ueppawm thlang venawh ypawm na dang pe tiksaw, coet amak kap thlang venawh coet a kap kaana dang pe hyk ti.
26 With the pure you show yourself pure. And with the crooked you show yourself tortuous.
Ak zawziih thlang venawh ak zawziih na dang pe nawh, kawpoek ak kawi thlang venawh taw cyihnaak ce dang sak hyk ti.
27 For you will save a humble people, but the eyes of the proud you will bring low.
Dungvoeng na ak awmkhqi ce hul nawh ak thym na mik ak daikhqi ce ak nem na thla hyk ti.
28 For you light my lamp. The LORD my God lights up my darkness.
Aw Bawipa, nang ing ka mai-im ve vang law sak loet nawh; ka Khawsa ing thannaak ce vangnaak na coeng law sak hyk ti.
29 For by you, I advance through a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
Nang ak pyinaak ak caming ni ka qaal hquut nawh, ka Khawsa ing ni vawng ka lyn thai.
30 As for God, his way is perfect. The word of the LORD is pure. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
Khawsa lampyi taw soep nawh Bawipa awi taw caih soeih hy. Amah awh ak thukkhqi boeih aham anih taw phuhqa na awm pehy.
31 For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
Bawipa coengawh u Khawsa nu ak awm bai? Ningmih a Khawsa am kaa taw u mih lungnu nu ak awm bai?
32 the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way blameless?
Khawsa ing a bantha awm sak nawh ka lampyi soep sak hy.
33 He makes my feet like deer's feet, and sets me on my high places.
Ka khaw ce saksuk khaw amyihna ni sai pe nawh hun sang na ning dyih sak hy.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
Ka kutqawi ve qaal kahnaak ham ni cawng sak nawh, ka baan qawi ing qawhum la ce oi thai hy.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation, and your right hand holds me up, and your help has made me great.
Noengnaak phuhqa ce nang ing ni pe nawh, nak tang kut ing nim tu hyk ti; dungvoeng na na awmnaak ing kai ni sang sak hyk ti.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
Ka khawk kai awhkaw lampyi ce kau law sak tiksaw, ka khaw am pleng thai voel hy.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and I did not turn back until they were destroyed.
Ka qaalkhqi ce hquut nawh khai khqi nyng, ama ming qeng hlan dy taw am hlat kawng.
38 I struck them through, so that they did not rise. They fell beneath my feet.
A mami thawh hqa kaana chawm khqi nyng, ka khawk kai na tlu boeih uhy.
39 For you have equipped me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Qaal tuk aham thamahnaak ing ni thoeihcam nawh, ka qaalkhqi ce ka khawk kai na koep sak hyk ti.
40 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
Nang ing ka qaalkhqi hu benna cen sak khqi hyk ti, cawh kai ing him khqi pheng nyng.
41 They cried, but there was none to save; even to the LORD, but he did not answer them.
Khy laawt hlai uhy, cehlai a mingmih ak hul hly kawi pynoet awm am awm hy - Bawipa ing cekkhqi ak khynaak awi ce am hlat pehy.
42 Then I ground them as fine as the dust on the surface of a path. Like the mud in the streets, I trampled them.
Zilh ing a zawn dekvai amyihna vyk khqi nyng saw, lam awhkaw nawngtui amyihna hawk khqi nyng.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me;
Kai anik tukkungkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul nawh; pilnam a lu na ni sai hawh hyk ti.
44 as soon as they hear of me they obey me. Foreigners come cringing to me;
Kai a thang aming zaak awh, kak awi ngai unawh; qapchang thlangkhqi ing ka haiawh pe qu law uhy.
45 they are not bound in chains.
Amik kaw boet nawh; a mimah a vawng kulh khui nakawng thyn doena law uhy.
46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
Bawipa taw hqing hy; ka lungnu venawh kyihcahnaak awm seh nyng! Ka hulkung Khawsa taw zoeksang na awm seh!
47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
Anih taw kai aham kut anik thung peekkung Khawsa na awm nawh, pilnam thlang anik noeng sakkung na awm hy.
48 He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
Ka qaalkhqi ven awhkawng anik hulkung na awm hy. Nang ing ka qaalkhqik khanawh ni zoeksang nawh, khawboek chekhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul hyk ti.
49 Therefore I will praise you, LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
Cedawngawh aw Bawipa, nang ce pilnam thlangkhqing lak awh nim kyihcah vang; nang ming kyihcahnaak laa sa vang.
50 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his descendants, until forever.
Anih ing a sangpahqang venawh noengnaak ak bau soeih pe nawh; a caksak thlang venawh amak dyt thai qeennaak ce dang sak hy. David ingkaw a cadil naakhqi venawh kumqui dyna am qeennaak dang sak hy.
