< Psalms 142 >

1 A maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a prayer. With my voice I cry out for help to Yahweh; with my voice I plead for Yahweh's favor.
Kathutkung: Devit, Lungngoum thung aonae koehoi a sak e Kai teh, BAWIPA koevah ka hram. BAWIPA koe hram laihoi ka kâhei.
2 I pour out my lament before him; I tell him my troubles.
Na hma lah ka phuenangnae ka pâpho teh, ka reithainae hai a hmalah ka dei pouh.
3 When my spirit is weak within me, you know my path. In the way that I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
Ka muitha ni ka thungvah a puen toteh, Bawipa nang dueng ni doeh kaie lamthung teh na panue. Taminaw ni ka dawn e lamthung dawkvah, tangkam hah arulahoi a patûng awh.
4 I look to my right and and see that there is no one who cares about me. There is no escape for me; no one cares about my life.
Aranglah na khet teh na panue. Kai na kapanuekkhaikung apihai awm hoeh. Ka yawng nahane lam hai awm hoeh. Ka hringnae kapasaikung hai awm hoeh.
5 I called out to you, Yahweh; I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.
Oe BAWIPA kai teh nang koe vah ka hramki toe. Nang teh kai ni kângue e lah na o teh, kahringnaw onae ram dawk kaie kaham lah ao telah kai ni ka dei.
6 Listen to my call, for I have been brought very low; rescue me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.
Kai ni ka hram e lawk hah na thai pouh haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai teh puenghoi runae ka kâhmo toe. Kai na karektapnaw kut dawk hoi na hlout sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimouh teh kai hlak a tha ao awh.
7 Bring my soul out of prison so that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will gather around me because you have been good to me.”
Bawipa nange min ka pholen thai nahanelah kai hah thongim thung hoi na rasat haw. Hottelah hawinae na sak toteh, tami kalannaw ni kai hah na kalup awh han.
