Psalms 17
1 [A Prayer by David.] Hear, YHWH, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn't go out of deceitful lips.
Aw Bawipa, dyngnaak ing ka thoeh law ve za nawhtaw, kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah. Kak cykcahnaak benna nang haa keeng lah-qaai kqawnnaak hui awhkawng ak law awi amni.
2 Let my sentence come forth from your presence. Let your eyes look on equity.
Nang a ven awhkawng kak khanawh awi tlyhnaak law seitaw ak thym ik-oeih ce namik ing hu lah seh.
3 You have proved my heart. You have visited me in the night. You have tried me, and found nothing. I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.
Kak kawlung ve nik ching nawh than awh ni hqip lah, ni nai ni nawng hlai hyk ti, kaw awm am hu kawp ti; kam kha ing am thlawlh tikaw ti hawh nyng.
4 As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.
Thlanghqing a ik-oeih sai amyihna - na hui awhkaw awi ing thlak chekhqi cehnaak lam awh am ka paanaak aham khoem qu hawh nyng.
5 My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.
Ka khawkham ing na lam hquut nawh; ka khaw ing am bah man hy.
6 I have called on you, for you will answer me, God. Turn your ear to me. Hear my speech.
Aw Khawsa nang ce nik khy nyng, nang ing nim hlat kawm tiksaw; nang haa keng law nawh kak cykcahnaak awi ve za lah.
7 Show your marvelous loving kindness, you who save those who take refuge by your right hand from their enemies.
Qaal anglakawhkawng nang awh thuknaak sui nawh tang kut ing ak hulkung, na lungnaak ak bau soeih ce dang sak lah.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye. Hide me under the shadow of your wings,
Na mik thlang amyihna ni qym nawh, nang hla khuiawh ning thuk sak lah.
9 from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who surround me.
Kai cem a qaal na anik thawh sihkhqi ingkaw kai anik chung khoep ka pumsa qaal anglakawhkawng.
10 They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.
Am thin ak sah thlang na awm unawh, am kha ing cawngcah qunaak awi kqawn uhy.
11 They have tracked me down; suddenly they surround me. They watch closely, crouching down to the ground.
Ka hu thuih law unawh nik chung khoep hawh uhy, Deklai khawngnaak aham ni mik lyl na hawh uhy.
12 He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
Mehsa buh na cawi khit nawh, ak plup nakawng qamsa cuuk sih aham ak cai samthyyn amyihna awm uhy.
13 Arise, YHWH, confront him. Cast him down. Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword;
Aw Bawipa, tho lah, a mingmih ce mam khqi nawh, tluk sak khqi lah; nak zawzi ing thlak che kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
14 from men with your hand, YHWH, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life. You fill their womb with treasure. They are satisfied with children, and they leave their wealth to their little ones.
Aw Bawipa, na kut ing ce mih thlangkhqi, ve khawmdek hqing khui doeng awhkaw laksawng ak takhqi a kut khui awhkawng ni hlam lah. Thlangkhqi amik phoen ce kawn ing be sak khqi nawh, a canaakhqi awm kqeng nawh ami cakhqi aham khawhthem ce cun pek khqi uhy.
15 As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.
Kai ingtaw dyngnaak ing na myi ce hu kawng; ka hang hqyng law awh, na myi ak lo na ka awm ce hu nyng saw kang ngaih tlyp tikaw.
