Psalms 64

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; misa zithaih thung hoiah ka hinghaih hae pakaa ah.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

Kasae kaminawk mah tamquta hoi thuih o ih lokramhaih thung hoiah na pakaa ah loe, sethaih sah kaminawk salak hoiah na hawk ah;

3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

nihcae loe palai to sumsen baktiah taak o; palaa to kah hanah kalii anueng baktiah, loksae hoiah kami to patoep o,

4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

coek koi om ai kami to tamquta hoi kah hanah patoep o moe, zithaih tawn ai ah anih to kah o roep.

5 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"

Nihcae loe kasae hmuen sakhaih bangah maeto hoi maeto tha ang paek o; mi mah maw nihcae to hnu tih, tiah poek o moe, tamquta hoi thaang patung hanah a thuih o.

6 They plot injustice; they hide a well-conceived plan. Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.

Nihcae loe kahoih ai hmuen sak hanah pakrong o; kahoih ai hmuen to ka sak o tangtang han, palung thungah a poek o ih hmuen loe thuk parai.

7 But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

Toe Sithaw mah nihcae to palaa hoiah kat tih; nihcae loe poek ai pui hoiah ahma caa o tih.

8 Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

Angmacae ih palai to angmacae nuiah krah o sak let tih; nihcae hnu kaminawk boih cawn o tih.

9 All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

Kaminawk boih mah nihcae to zii o ueloe, Sithaw toksakhaih to taphong o tih, to naah anih mah sak ih hmuen to nihcae mah poek o tih.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him.

Katoeng kami loe Angraeng ah anghoe ueloe, anih khaeah abuep tih; poek toeng kaminawk boih lensawkhaih hoiah om o tih.
