Psalms 140
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Deliver me, LORD, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;
Aw Bawipa, thlakchekhqi kut khuiawh kawng ni hul lah; boeksekhqi a kut khui awhkawng nang ing nik chung lah,
2 those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
ak kawlung khuiawh ak che poeknaak doeng ta unawh myngawi qaal na tho loet uhy.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison 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 LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
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 have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps 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 said to the LORD, "You are my God." Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.
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 LORD, the strength of my salvation, you shield my head on the day of battle.
Aw Boeimang Khawsa, kai anik hulkung thakawm, qal tuknaak kung awh ka lu ak dah lawkung –
8 LORD, do not grant the desires of the wicked. Do not let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. (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 As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Kai anik chungkhqi a lukhqi taw a mimah a hui ing ang coeng sak kyinaak ing sing pe seh.
10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
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 An evil speaker won't be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Qam khuiawh thlang kqawnseet na ak nget khqi ce koeh awm seh; boeksekhqi taw seetnaak ing a hu awh hquut seh.
12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for 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 will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
Thlakdyngkhqi ing nang ang ming ce kyihcah kawm usaw thlak leek khqi ce na haiawh awm kawm uh.
