Psalms 143
1 “A psalm of David.” Hear my prayer, O LORD! give ear to my supplications! In thy faithfulness, and in thy righteousness, answer me!
David kah Tingtoenglung. Aw BOEIPA, ka thangthuinah he hnatun lah. Na uepomnah dongah ka huithuinah he hnakaeng lamtah na duengnah neh kai n'doo lah.
2 Enter not into judgment with thy servant; For before thee no man living is righteous.
Tedae mulhing boeih he namah mikhmuh ah a tang oeh pawt dongah na sal he khaw laitloeknah khuila na thak moenih.
3 For the enemy pursueth my life; He hath smitten me to the ground; He hath made me dwell in darkness, As those that have been dead of old.
Thunkha loh ka hinglu a hloem tih ka hingnah diklai ah a phop. Khosuen kah aka duek bangla khohmuep ah kai kho n'sak sak.
4 My spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is desolate.
Te dongah ka mueihla loh ka khuiah rhae tih ka lungbuei khaw ka khui ah pong coeng.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the deeds of thy hands.
Hlamat kah khohnin ka poek tih na bisai boeih te ka thuep vaengah na kut dongkah bitat te ka lolmang thil. (Selah)
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee; My soul thirsteth for thee, like a parched land.
Namah taengah ni ka kut ka phuel. Ka hinglu he bumueh rhathih hmuen kah bangla namah taengah om. (Selah)
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD! My spirit faileth; Hide not thy face from me. Lest I become like those who go down to the pit!
BOEIPA aw, ka mueihla a khum he tokthuet lamtah kai n'doo lah. Kai lamloh na maelhmai thuh boel mai. Tangrhom kah ka suntla banghui la ka om van ve.
8 Cause me so see thy loving-kindness speedily; For in thee do I trust! Make known to me the way which I should take; For to thee do I lift up my soul!
Namah dongah ka pangtung vanbangla na sitlohnah neh mincang ah kai n'hnatun lah. Ka caeh ham longpuei te kai ming sak lah. Ka hinglu he namah taengah kan tloeng coeng.
9 Deliver me, O LORD! from mine enemies; For in thee do I seek refuge!
BOEIPA namah dongah ka kuep vanbangla ka thunkha kut lamloh kai n'huul lah.
10 Teach me to do thy will; For thou art my God! Let thy good spirit lead me in a plain path!
Ka Pathen la na om dongah na kolonah saii ham kai n'tukkil lah. Na Mueihla then loh tlangkol diklai ah kai m'mawt saeh.
11 Revive me, O LORD! for thy name's sake! In thy righteousness, bring me out of my distress!
BOEIPA namah ming ham ni na duengnah dongah kai nan hing sak. Ka hinglu khaw citcai lamkah ni na doek.
12 And, in thy compassion, cut off mine enemies, And destroy all that distress me! For I am thy servant.
Te dongah ka thunkha khaw na sitlohnah neh na biit tih na sal kai ham tah ka hinglu aka daengdaeh boeih te na paltham sak.
