Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit.
Aw Bawipa, dyngnaak ing ka thoeh law ve za nawhtaw, kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah. Kak cykcahnaak benna nang haa keeng lah-qaai kqawnnaak hui awhkawng ak law awi amni.
2 From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see uprightly.
Nang a ven awhkawng kak khanawh awi tlyhnaak law seitaw ak thym ik-oeih ce namik ing hu lah seh.
3 Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night, Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not over my mouth.
Kak kawlung ve nik ching nawh than awh ni hqip lah, ni nai ni nawng hlai hyk ti, kaw awm am hu kawp ti; kam kha ing am thlawlh tikaw ti hawh nyng.
4 As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have observed The paths of a destroyer;
Thlanghqing a ik-oeih sai amyihna - na hui awhkaw awi ing thlak chekhqi cehnaak lam awh am ka paanaak aham khoem qu hawh nyng.
5 To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not slidden.
Ka khawkham ing na lam hquut nawh; ka khaw ing am bah man hy.
6 I — I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline Thine ear to me, hear my speech.
Aw Khawsa nang ce nik khy nyng, nang ing nim hlat kawm tiksaw; nang haa keng law nawh kak cykcahnaak awi ve za lah.
7 Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders.
Qaal anglakawhkawng nang awh thuknaak sui nawh tang kut ing ak hulkung, na lungnaak ak bau soeih ce dang sak lah.
8 Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of Thy wings thou dost hide me.
Na mik thlang amyihna ni qym nawh, nang hla khuiawh ning thuk sak lah.
9 From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in soul go round against me.
Kai cem a qaal na anik thawh sihkhqi ingkaw kai anik chung khoep ka pumsa qaal anglakawhkawng.
10 Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken with pride:
Am thin ak sah thlang na awm unawh, am kha ing cawngcah qunaak awi kqawn uhy.
11 'Our steps now have compassed [him];' Their eyes they set to turn aside in the land.
Ka hu thuih law unawh nik chung khoep hawh uhy, Deklai khawngnaak aham ni mik lyl na hawh uhy.
12 His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion dwelling in secret places.
Mehsa buh na cawi khit nawh, ak plup nakawng qamsa cuuk sih aham ak cai samthyyn amyihna awm uhy.
13 Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend. Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword,
Aw Bawipa, tho lah, a mingmih ce mam khqi nawh, tluk sak khqi lah; nak zawzi ing thlak che kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah.
14 From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world, their portion [is] in life, And [with] Thy hidden things Thou fillest their belly, They are satisfied [with] sons; And have left their abundance to their sucklings.
Aw Bawipa, na kut ing ce mih thlangkhqi, ve khawmdek hqing khui doeng awhkaw laksawng ak takhqi a kut khui awhkawng ni hlam lah. Thlangkhqi amik phoen ce kawn ing be sak khqi nawh, a canaakhqi awm kqeng nawh ami cakhqi aham khawhthem ce cun pek khqi uhy.
15 I — in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in awaking, [with] Thy form!
Kai ingtaw dyngnaak ing na myi ce hu kawng; ka hang hqyng law awh, na myi ak lo na ka awm ce hu nyng saw kang ngaih tlyp tikaw.
