Psalms 64

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God! when I pray! Preserve my life from the terrors of the enemy!

Aw Khawsa, kang ngaih kyinaak awi ka sa awh ve, ngai law lah; kqih awm qaal anglakawhkawng ka hqingnaak ve hlip chung lah.

2 Hide me from the assembly of the wicked, From the brawling crowd of evil-doers!

Thlakchekhqi a tengnaak awhkawng ni thuh nawhtaw, khawboek chekhqi awipungkhqi ven awhkawng ni thuh lah.

3 For like a sword they sharpen their tongues, Like arrows they aim their poisoned words,

Amim laikhqi ce zawzi amyihna taak pat la unawh, ak chy ak ngan la amyihna amik awi ing thlang hyt uhy.

4 To shoot in secret at the upright; Suddenly do they shoot at him without fear.

Ak awm dym thlang ce mah unawh kaap uhy, kqihnaak taak kaana, anih ce kaap zap uhy.

5 They prepare themselves for an evil deed; They commune of laying secret snares: “Who,” say they, “will see them?”

Ak che ik-oeih poeknaak awh tha pe qu unawh, ang hypna ami dun thang akawng ce kqawn uhy; “U ing a huh tang kaw?” ti uhy.

6 They meditate crimes: “We have finished,” say they, “our plans!” The heart and bosom of every one of them are deep.

Amak thym ik-oeih awh za qu unawh, “sai ham hly nik poek hloem lauh hy aa!” ti uhy. Thlanghqing ak kawlung ve qaai kqawn thai pai hy.

7 But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly shall they be wounded.

Cehlai, cekkhqi ce Khawsa ing la ing kaap kaw; kawlkalh awh cekkhqi ce kaap hawh kaw.

8 Thus their own tongues shall bring them down; All who see them will flee away.

A mimah am lai ha ce hawi pek khqi khup phlet kawmsaw plawci sak khqi kaw; ak hukhqi boeih ing thekhanaak ing a lu thlek sih kawm uh.

9 Then will all men stand in awe, And declare what God hath done, And attentively consider his work.

Thlanghqing boeih ing kqih hawh kawm uh; Khawsa bibi ce kqawn kawm usaw a ik-oeih sai ce poek kawm uh.

10 The righteous shall rejoice, and trust in the LORD; All the upright in heart shall glory.

Thlakdyng ingtaw Khawsa awh zeel seitaw amah awh ce thuk seh; kawlung ak dyngkhqi boeih ing amah kyihcah seh!
