Psalms 71
1 In you, YHWH, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
Aw Angraeng, nang thungah ni kang hawk; natuek naah doeh azathaih na tongsak hmah.
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
Na toenghaih hoi pahlong ah loe, na loisak ah; kai khaeah na naa to patueng ah loe, na pahlong ah.
3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
Ka phak thaihaih ahmuen kruekah, ka buephaih ah om ah; nang loe ka lungsong hoi kang vaenghaih ah na oh pongah, kai pahlong hanah lok na paek boeh.
4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Aw ka Sithaw, kami zaenawk ih ban thung hoiah pahlong ah, katoeng ai kami hoi hmawsaeng kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah na pahlong ah.
5 For you are my hope, YHWH; my confidence from my youth.
Aw Angraeng Sithaw, nang loe ka oephaih akung pui ah na oh; ka thendoeng nathuem hoi boeh ni nang loe kang oephaih ah na oh.
6 I have relied on you from the womb. From my mother's womb you are my strength. I will always praise you.
Ka tapen tangsuek nathuem hoi nang khaeah kam ha boeh; nang mah ni kam no zok thung hoiah nang lak. Nang loe dungzan ah kang pakoeh han.
7 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
Kai loe kanoih kaminawk dawnrai han koi ah ni ka oh; toe nang loe kacak ka buephaih ah na oh.
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day.
Ka pakha loe athun qui nang pakoehhaih, na lensawkhaih hoiah koi nasoe.
9 Do not reject me in my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
Kai mitong naah na pahnawt sut hmah; ka thaboeng naah na caeh taak hmah.
10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
Ka misanawk loe kai aekhaih lok to thuih o; ka hinghaih patoem kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o,
11 saying, "God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him."
anih loe Sithaw mah pahnawt sut boeh; patom oh loe naeh oh; anih bomkung mi doeh om ai boeh, tiah a thuih o.
12 God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
Aw Sithaw, kangthla ah na om taak ving hmah; aw ka Sithaw, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo ah!
13 Let my accusers be put to shame and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
Ka hinghaih misa ah poek kaminawk loe azathaih hoiah anghma angtaa o nasoe; kai nganbawh kana paek han pakrong kaminawk loe pronghaih hoi ahminsethaih mah kraeng khoep nasoe.
14 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
Toe kai loe oephaih ka tawnh poe pongah, nang to kang pakoeh aep aep han.
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I do not know its full measure.
Nazetto maw tiah ka panoek ai cadoeh, ka pakha mah na toenghaih hoi na pahlonghaih to ni thokkruek thui tih.
16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord YHWH. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw thacakhaih hoiah ka caeh, na toenghaih khue ni ka thuih han.
17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
Aw Sithaw, ka thendoeng nathuem hoiah nang patuk boeh; na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to vaihni khoek to ka thuih.
18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
Aw Sithaw, kai loe vaihi mitong boeh, na thacakhaih to sampok khoek to, vaihi dung ih kaminawk khaeah ka thuih moe, na sakthaihaih to angzo han koi kaminawk khaeah ka thui ai karoek to, na pahnawt sut hmah.
19 Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?
Aw Sithaw, kalen parai hmuennawk sahkung, na toenghaih loe van khoek to phak; Aw Sithaw, nang baktih mi maw kaom?
20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
Kalen parai raihaih to nang patuek boeh; nang mah nang hingsak let ueloe, kathuk long thung hoiah kai nang thawksak let tih.
21 Increase my honor, and comfort me again.
Kai khosak hoihhaih to pungsak ueloe, na pathloep let tih.
22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
Aw ka Sithaw, nang hoi na loktang lok to katoeng hoiah kang pakoeh han; aw Israelnawk ih Ciimcai Sithaw, katoeng kruekhaih hoiah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
23 My lips shall shout for joy. My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you.
Nang khaeah laa ka sak naah, ka palainawk anghoe o ueloe, na krang ih ka hinghaih doeh anghoe tih.
24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
Ni thokkruek ka palai mah na toenghaih to thui tih; kai nganbawh kana paek hanah pakrong kaminawk loe, azathaih to tongh o moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o sut boeh.
