< Psalms 21 >
1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” The king rejoiceth in thy strength, O LORD! Yea, he doth greatly exult in thy protection.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, siangpahrang loe na thacakhaih ah anghoe; na pahlonghaih pongah cae loe kawkruk maw anih anghoe tih!
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not denied him the request of his lips. (Pause)
A pahni hoiah hnikhaih to na tamuep pae khoep ai moe, a koehhaih palung baktih toengah na paek boeh.
3 Yea, thou hast met him with rich blessings, Thou hast placed a crown of pure gold upon his head.
Anih hanah kahoih tahamhoihaih to na paek: a lu nuiah kaciim suitui hoi sak ih lumuek to nang mueksak boeh.
4 He asked life of thee; thou gavest it him; Even long life, enduring for ever.
Anih mah hinghaih ang hnik naah, na paek, dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to kasawk hinghaih to na paek boeh.
5 Great is his glory through thine aid; Honor and majesty hast thou laid upon him.
Na pahlonghaih rang hoiah anih loe paroeai len: pakoehhaih hoi huham ohhaih to a nuiah na suek pae.
6 Thou hast made him blessed for evermore; Thou hast made him glad with the joy of thy countenance.
Anih han dungzan tahamhoihaih na paek: na hmaa ah paroeai anghoehaih hoi na koisak.
7 For the king trusteth in the LORD; And through the goodness of the Most High he shall never fall.
Siangpahrang loe Angraeng to oep moe, Ranui koek tahmenhaih rang hoiah anih loe angthui mak ai.
8 Thy hand shall overtake all thine enemies; Thy right hand shall overtake them that hate thee.
Na ban mah na misanawk boih to hnu tih, na bantang ban mah nang hnuma kaminawk to hnu tih.
9 Thou wilt make them like a burning oven in the time of thine anger; Jehovah shall swallow them up in his wrath, And the fire shall devour them.
Palung na phui naah nihcae to hmai kamngaeh omthuh baktiah na ohsak: Angraeng mah nihcae to palungphuihaih hoiah paaeh tih, nihcae to hmai mah kang tih.
10 Their offspring shalt thou destroy from the earth, And their posterity from the sons of men.
Nihcae ih athaih to long hoiah nang hmaasak ueloe, kaminawk salak hoiah nihcae ih caanawk to nam rosak tih.
11 For they spread a net of mischief against thee; They devised plots against thee, but they did not prevail.
Nihcae loe na nuiah kasae sak han ih pacaeng o moe, kahoih ai hmuen to a poek o, toe nihcae mah sah o thai ai.
12 Therefore thou wilt cause them to turn their backs; Thou wilt make ready thine arrows upon the strings against them.
To pongah kalii to na nueng thuih moe, nihcae mikhmai ah na patoep naah, nihcae to hnukbang ah nam laemsak tih.
13 Exalt thyself, O LORD! by thy strength! So will we sing, and praise thy mighty deeds.
Aw Angraeng, na thacakhaih hoiah nang pakoehhaih to om nasoe; na thacakhaih to laasakhaih hoiah kang saphaw o han.
