Psalms 28

1 [A Psalm] of David. To thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, [if] thou shouldst be silent to me, I should become like them that go down into the pit.

David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, ka lungsong, nang ni kang kawk; pathim ai ah om hmah; nang pathim ai nahaeloe, tangqom thungah krah nihcae baktiah ni ka om tih.

2 Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry to thee, when I lift my hands towards thy holy oracle.

Na hmuenciim bangah ban ka payangh moe, nang kang kawk naah, tahmen kang hnikhaih lok to na tahngai paeh.

3 Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors, but mischief [is] in their hearts.

Angmacae imtaeng kaminawk khaeah angdaehhaih lok thui kami, palung thungah loe sethaih poek kami, kasae kaminawk, sethaih sah kaminawk hoi nawnto na caeh haih hmah.

4 Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavors: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

Nihcae khaeah a sak o ih tuinuen baktih, a sak o ih sethaih baktih toengah, pathok let ah: ban hoi a sak o ih tok baktih toengah, paek ah loe lokcaek ah.

5 Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will destroy them, and not build them up.

Angraeng ih toknawk hoi a sak ih hmuennawk to tidoeh dawncang ai ah a oh o pongah, to kaminawk to anih mah amrosak tih, nihcae loe angthawk o let mak ai boeh.

6 Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

Tahmen ka hnikhaih loknawk anih mah ang thaih pae pongah, Angraeng khaeah tahamhoihaih om nasoe.

7 The LORD [is] my strength, and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

Angraeng loe ka thacakhaih hoi ka buephaih ah oh; ka palungthin mah anih to oep pongah, anih mah ang bomh: to pongah ka plungthin anghoehaih hoiah koi; anih to laa hoiah ka pakoeh han.

8 The LORD [is] their strength, and he [is] the saving strength of his anointed.

Angraeng loe angmah ih kaminawk hanah thacakhaih ah oh; situi a bawh ih kami hanah thacak pahlonghaih ah oh.

9 Save thy people, and bless thy inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Nangmah ih kaminawk to pahlong ah loe, na qawktoep kaminawk to tahamhoihaih paek ah: nihcae to khenzawn ah loe dungzan khoek to toep ah.
