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.

Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka phuenangnae dawk, ka lawk na thai pouh haw. Ka tarannaw ka takinae koehoi ka hringnae na khetyawt lawih.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

Tamikathoutnaw e kâdeikâpannae koehoi thoseh, Payonnae kasaknaw kamkhuengnae koehoi thoseh, na ngue haw.

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

Ahnimouh ni amamae lai hah, tahloi patetlah a hran sak awh.

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

Yonnae ka tawn hoeh e tami hah arulahoi ka hanelah, lawkthoeumkha pala hoi a nue awh teh, takinae tawn laipalah vaitalahoi ouk a ka awh.

5 They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who will see them?

Hawihoehnae dawk buet touh hoi buet touh a kâhroecoe awh. Tangkhek patung hanelah a kâpan awh teh, apinimouh na hmu han vah ouk ati awh.

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart, [is] deep.

Hawihoehnae hah ma hanelah a pâphue awh. Ngit a pâphue awh. Lungthin thung lengkaleng a pouknae teh a dungpoung.

7 But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

Ahnimouh teh Cathut ni pala hoi a ka vaiteh, pouk laipalah hmâ a ca awh han.

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

A dei awh e lawk dawk letlang a rawp sak vaiteh, ka hmawt e pueng ni a yawng takhai awh han.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Tami pueng ni taket vaiteh, Cathut ni a sak e doeh tie a pâpho awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmantang a sak awh e hah a pouk awh han.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Tamikalan teh BAWIPA dawk konawm vaiteh, ama hah a kâuep han. A lungthin kalan e pueng ni a pholen awh han.
