Psalms 71
1 In thee, O Yahweh, have I sought refuge, May I not be ashamed unto times age-abiding:
BOEIPA nang dongah ka ying tih, kumhal ah yah m'poh sak boeh.
2 In thy righteousness, wilt thou rescue me, and deliver me, Incline unto me thine ear, and save me:
Na duengnah neh, kai na huul tih nan hlawt. Te dongah na hna te kai taengla han hooi lamtah, kai n'khang lah.
3 Be thou unto me, a Rock to dwell in, a Place of Security, To save me, For, my mountain crag and my stronghold, thou art.
Caeh taitu vaengkah ham, kai taengah lungpang khuirhung la ha om lah. Namah te ka thaelpang neh ka rhalvong la na om dongah, kai khang ham khaw na uen.
4 Oh my God, deliver me, From the hand of the lawless one, From the clutch of the perverse and ruthless one;
Ka Pathen aw, halang kut lamloh, aka phayoe tih aka muen kah kutpha lamloh, kai n'hlawt lah.
5 For, thou, art my hope, My Lord, Yahweh, My confidence from my youthful days:
Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah tah, ka ngaiuepnah neh, ka camoe lamkah ka pangtungnah ni.
6 Upon thee, have I stayed myself from birth, Thou art he that severed me, from the body of my mother, Of thee, shall be my praise—continually.
Bungko khui lamkah nang dongah ka hangdang coeng. Namah loh a nu ko khui lamkah kai nan poh. Namah te kai kah koehnah la na om yoeyah.
7 A very wonder, have I been unto many, Seeing that, thou, hast been my strong refuge,
Hlang tom taengah mikdairhueng bangla ka om cakhaw namah te ka hlipyingnah sarhi la na om.
8 My mouth shall be filled with, thy praise, All the day, with thy splendour.
Namah kah boeimangnah rhangneh namah koehnah te hnin takuem ka ka ah baetawt.
9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age, When my vigour faileth, do not forsake me;
Ka patong tue vaengah kai m'voei boeh. Ka thadueng a bawt vaengah kai nan hnoo mahpawh.
10 For mine enemies have spoken of me, And, they who watch for my life, have taken counsel together;
Ka thunkha rhoek loh kai taengah cal uh tih ka hinglu dawn ham tun caai uh.
11 Saying, God, hath forsaken him, Pursue and take him, For there is none to rescue.
“Anih he Pathen loh a hnoo coeng dongah hloem uh sih lamtah tu uh sih. Anih aka huul ham khaw hlang a om moenih,” a ti uh.
12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, to help me, make haste!
Pathen aw kai taeng lamkah lakhla tak boeh. Kai bomkung ham ka Pathen nang ha tawn rhoe ha tawn uh laeh.
13 Let them be ashamed—be consumed, Who are assailing my life, —Let them be covered with reproach and confusion, Who are seeking my hurt.
Ka hinglu aka khingkhoek rhoek te yahpok uh saeh lamtah hmata uh saeh. Kai kah yoethae aka hue rhoe te kokhahnah neh mingthae loh thing uh saeh.
14 But, I, continually will hope, And will add to all thy praise;
Tedae kai loh ka ngaiuep yoeyah vetih namah koehnah te boeih ka khoep ni.
15 My mouth, shall relate thy righteousness, All the day, thy deliverance, For I know not the numbers.
Nan khangnah te taenah ham ka ming pawt cakhaw na duengnah te ka ka loh hnin takuem a tae bitni.
16 I will enter into the mighty doings of My Lord—Yahweh, I will make mention of thy righteousness—thine alone.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah kah thayung thamal khuila ka lo vetih, namah bueng dongah ni na duengnah ka thoelh eh.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youthful days, And, hitherto, have I been wont to tell of thy wonders;
Pathen aw, ka camoe lamkah kai nan cang puei dongah tahae duela namah kah khobaerhambae te ka doek.
18 Even now, therefore, that I am old and grayheaded, O God, do not forsake me, —Until I tell of thine arm unto a [new] generation, Unto every one that is to come, thy might;
Pathen aw, thawnpuei taengah na bantha, hmailong kah aka lo ham boeih taengah na thayung thamal ka doek hlanhil tah patong sampok la ka om cakhaw kai nan hnoo mahpawh.
19 And, as for thy righteousness, O God, up on high, Wherein thou hast wrought great things, O God! who is like unto thee?
Tedae Pathen na duengnah loh a sang duela a puet. Pathen loh duelhduelh na saii te, namah bangla ulae aka om?
20 Thou who hast let us see many distresses and misfortunes, Wilt again bring us to life, And, out of the resounding depths of the earth, wilt again raise us up;
Kai he citcai neh yoethaenah muep nan hmuh khaw nan hmuh sak dae koep nan hing khaw nan hing sak vetih diklai laedil lamkah koep nan lat bal ni.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, And, on every side, wilt comfort me.
Ka lennah nan pueh vetih kai nan hloep bal ni.
22 I also, will praise thee by the aid of a harp, Thy faithfulness, O my God, —I will make music unto thee with a lyre, Thou holy one of Israel;
Kai khaw ka Pathen namah kah uepomnah te thangpa toembael neh kan uem vetih Israel kah a cim namah te rhotoeng neh ka tingtoeng ni.
23 My lips shall make a joyful noise, When I make music unto thee, And my soul which thou hast ransomed;
Ka hinglu he na lat coeng dongah nang te kan tingtoeng vaengah ka hmui ka lai neh ka tamhoe ni.
24 Even my tongue, all the day, shall softly utter thy righteousness, For they have turned pale—for they have blushed, Who were seeking my hurt.
Kai kah yoethae aka hue rhoek loh yah a poh uh tih a hmai a tal uh coeng dongah ka lai long khaw hnin takuem nang kah duengnah te a thuep ni.
