Psalms 140
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me.
Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung BOEIPA aw boethae Adam kut lamloh kai n'pumcum sak lamtah, kuthlahnah hlang kut lamloh kai n'kueinah lah.
2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
A lungbuei khuiah boethae a huet uh tih khohnin takuem caem a hueh uh. (Selah)
3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder [is] under their lips. (Selah)
A lai te rhul bangla a suih tih a hmuilai dongah minta sue kap. (Selah)
4 Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
BOEIPA aw halang kut lamkah neh hlang kah kuthlahnah lamloh kai dawndah lah. Ka kho ah kalh sak ham moeh uh cakhaw kai nan kueinah coeng.
5 The proud hid a snare for me — and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. (Selah)
Thinthah rhoek loh kai ham pael neh rhuihet uh a tung uh. Namtlak hmoi ah lawk a tung uh tih kai hamla hlaeh a tung uh. (Selah)
6 I have said to Jehovah, 'My God [art] Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.'
BOEIPA taengah, “Namah tah kai kah Pathen. BOEIPA aw ka huithuinah ol he hnakaeng lah,” ka ti.
7 O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armour.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah kai kah khangnah sarhi ni. Lungpokhaica khohnin ah pataeng ka lu soah nan khuk coeng.
8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. (Selah)
BOEIPA aw halang kah huengaihnah te na rhoi moenih. A kopoek thae na dang sak pawt te ni a pomsang uh eh. (Selah)
9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them.
Kai aka ven rhoek kah a lu te amamih hmuilai kah thakthaenah loh amamih te thing rhoe thing saeh.
10 They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits — they arise not.
Amih soah hmai-alh tla rhoe tla saeh. Amih te hmai khui neh rhomdung khuila cungku saeh lamtah thoo uh boel saeh.
11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence — evil hunteth to overflowing.
Olsai hlang he hlang kah khohmuen ah naepnoi boel saeh. Boethae kuthlahnah te khaw pathaeng payang la yoep saeh.
12 I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
Mangdaeng kah dumlai neh khodaeng kah laitloeknah BOEIPA loh a rhoi te ka ming rhoela ka ming.
13 Only — the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!
Aka dueng rhoek loh na ming te rhep a uem uh vetih aka Olsai rhoek ni na mikhmuh ah kho a sak uh eh.
