Psalms 64

1 To the chief Musician, a Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear 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 secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

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

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:

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

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who 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 search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart, [is] 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 shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

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

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall 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 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

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 be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and 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!
