Psalms 143
1 A Psalm by David. Hear my prayer, LORD. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
Aw Bawipa, kak cykcahnaak awi ve ngai law nawhtaw, nam qeennaak thoeh doena kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah; na ypawmnaak ingkaw na dyngnaak ce kai aham hoeihkhangnaak na awm lah seh.
2 Don’t enter into judgement with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
Na tyihzawih ve awi koeh deng cang, kawtih na haiawh ak dyng thlang pynoet awm am awm hy.
3 For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
Ka qaal ing ni hquut nawh dek nik khawng na hy; ak thi ce thlangkhqi amyihna thannaak khuiawh ni ta hyt hy.
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
Cedawngawh ka kawk khuiawh kang myihla zai hqoeng nawh; kak kawlung kqihnaak ing be hy.
5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
Ak kqym a tym khqi poek nyng; na ik-oeih saikhqi boeih ce poek typ typ nyng saw na kut saikhqi ce poek nyng.
6 I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land. (Selah)
Nang benna kut phyl law nyng; qamkoh ing tui a ngaih amyihna ka hqingnaak ing nang ce tui amyihna ni ngaih hy.
7 Hurry to answer me, LORD. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.
Aw Bawipa, ang tawnna nim hlat lah; kang myihla zai hqoeng hawh hy. Ka venawh na haai koeh thuh law, cemyih am mantaw lawk-kqawng khuina khaw ak sakhqi amyihna awm hau lawt kawng unyng.
8 Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
Amak dyt thai nang a lungnaak ce mymcang ing haw law seh, kawtih nang ni ka ni ypnaak. Ka ceh hly kawi lam nim huh lah, nang benna ka hqingnaak ve hak zoek law nyng.
9 Deliver me, LORD, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
Aw Bawipa, ka qaal khqing lak awhkawng ni hul lah, nang ak khuiawh ni kang thuh qu hy.
10 Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
Ka Khawsa na na awm a dawngawh, nak kawngaih sai thainaak aham ni cawng sak lah; nang a koe ak leek Myihla ing lamtlang awh ni sawi lah seh.
11 Revive me, LORD, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
Aw Bawipa, nang ming ak caming ka hqingnaak ve khoem law lah; na dyngnaak ak caming kyinaak anglak li awhkawng ni loet sak lah.
12 In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am your servant.
Amak dyt thai na lungnaak ing, ka qaalkhqi sit sak lah; na tyihzawih na ka awm a dawngawh, ka qaalkhqi boeih ve hqe law lah.
