Psalms 18
1 To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul, and he saith: — I love Thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
Kak thaawmnaak na ak awm, Aw Bawipa, nang ce ni lungna nyng.
2 Jehovah [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my salvation, My high tower.
Bawipa taw ka lungnu, ka vawngcak ingkaw ka hulkung na awm hy: Khawsa taw kang thuknaak lungnu na awm hy. Amah taw ka phuhqa ingkaw ka hulnaak kii, vawngcak boeih na awm hy.
3 The 'Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am saved.
Kyihcah tyng Bawipa ce khy nyng saw, anih ing ka qaalkhqi anglakawhkawng ni hul hy.
4 Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the worthless make me afraid.
Thihnaak quikhqi ing ni pin nawh seetnaak tuiphu ing ni zawl khup hy.
Ceikhui quikhqi ing ni pin qap nawh; thihnaak dawng ing ni mam khoep hy. (Sheol h7585)
6 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh into His ears.
Kang ngaih a kyi awh Bawipa ce khy nyng; bawmnaak thoeh doena Khawsa venawh khy nyng. Anih ingtaw a bawkim awhkawng kak awi ning zaak pe nawh; kak khy awi ing a haiawh pha saw, ang haa khuiawh kun hy.
7 And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of hills are troubled, And they shake — because He hath wrath.
Khawmdek ing tyn nawh thyn hy, ak kawsonaak awh tlangkhqi awm am cei dyna tyn boeih hy.
8 Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it.
Am haqawng khui awhkawng maikhu cawn nawh; mai kqawng ce am khak khui awhkawng cawn hy; cawhkawng mai ce alh hy.
9 And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
Myi ak than tit tit ce a khawk kai awh ta nawh; khan khawnghi ce hawi nawh kqum law hy.
10 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on wings of wind.
Chequbim ak khanawh ngawi nawh ang ding doena; zilh ang hla awhkawng hak pawm qu hy.
11 He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
A sing qunaak na than sai nawh, a ceng a cawi awh ak chung qunaak aham khan rawhnu pui tlan sak hy.
12 From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have passed on, Hail and coals of fire.
Ak vang soeih haai awhkawng myi ak sah soeih ingkaw khawkphla ce thai sak hy.
13 And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire.
Khan nakawng Bawipa hum khawmrang nawh; sawsang soeih awh ak awi hum dur dur hy.
14 And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much lightning, and crusheth them.
La ing kap nawh a qaalkhqi ce a thek a zak na kqeng sak khqi khawnghak nawh, khaw khawteh na phla sak tiksaw hquut khqi khawnghak hy.
15 And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the breath of the spirit of Thine anger.
Aw Bawipa tuicunli ang lawngnaak ce sai pe nawh, khawmdek ang dyihnaak hun ce nam haqawng awhkaw nang hqi ing zyi nawh kaa na tiksaw, pho sak hyk ti.
16 He sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth me out of many waters.
Anih ing khan ben nakawng a baan thla nawh; a nimtu coengawh tuili dung awhkawng nik dawk hy.
17 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those hating me, For they have been stronger than I.
Tha ak awm soeih qaal, am ka noeng thai khing ka thunkha khqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul hy.
18 They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is for a support to me.
Ka seetnaak khawnghyp awh ni mam khoep u seiawm, Bawipa taw tha anik pekung na awm hy.
19 And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me out, because He delighted in me.
Anih ing a hoel a poeng na awmnaak hun na ni ceh pyi hy; kak khanawh ak kaw a law a dawngawh ni hul hy.
20 Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
Bawipa ing ka dyngnaak lawt amyihna khaw nik poek pehy; ka kut qawi a ciim lawt amyihna laksawng ce ni pehy.
21 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done wickedly against my God.
Bawipa a lampyi ce ka hquut a dawngawh Khawsa cehta nawh thawlhnaak ce am sai nyng.
22 For all His judgments [are] before me, And His statutes I turn not from me.
Amah a cawngpyinaak awikhqi boeih ce ka haiawh awm nawh; ak awi tlypnaak ce am pleng taak man nyng.
23 And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine iniquity.
A haiawh coet kap kaana awm nawh, thawlhnaak ce hqe nyng.
24 And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, Over-against his eyes.
Ka dyngnaak ingkaw amik huh awh ka kut qawi a ciim amyihna Bawipa ing laksawng ni pehy.
25 With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect man showest Thyself perfect.
Ueppawm thlang venawh ypawm na dang pe tiksaw, coet amak kap thlang venawh coet a kap kaana dang pe hyk ti.
26 With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the perverse showest Thyself a wrestler,
Ak zawziih thlang venawh ak zawziih na dang pe nawh, kawpoek ak kawi thlang venawh taw cyihnaak ce dang sak hyk ti.
27 For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high causest to fall.
Dungvoeng na ak awmkhqi ce hul nawh ak thym na mik ak daikhqi ce ak nem na thla hyk ti.
28 For Thou — Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God enlighteneth my darkness.
Aw Bawipa, nang ing ka mai-im ve vang law sak loet nawh; ka Khawsa ing thannaak ce vangnaak na coeng law sak hyk ti.
29 For by Thee I run — a troop! And by my God I leap a wall.
Nang ak pyinaak ak caming ni ka qaal hquut nawh, ka Khawsa ing ni vawng ka lyn thai.
30 God! perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield [is] He to all those trusting in Him.
Khawsa lampyi taw soep nawh Bawipa awi taw caih soeih hy. Amah awh ak thukkhqi boeih aham anih taw phuhqa na awm pehy.
31 For who [is] God besides Jehovah? And who [is] a rock save our God?
Bawipa coengawh u Khawsa nu ak awm bai? Ningmih a Khawsa am kaa taw u mih lungnu nu ak awm bai?
32 God! who is girding me [with] strength, And He maketh perfect my way.
Khawsa ing a bantha awm sak nawh ka lampyi soep sak hy.
33 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand.
Ka khaw ce saksuk khaw amyihna ni sai pe nawh hun sang na ning dyih sak hy.
34 Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was brought down by my arms.
Ka kutqawi ve qaal kahnaak ham ni cawng sak nawh, ka baan qawi ing qawhum la ce oi thai hy.
35 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
Noengnaak phuhqa ce nang ing ni pe nawh, nak tang kut ing nim tu hyk ti; dungvoeng na na awmnaak ing kai ni sang sak hyk ti.
36 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
Ka khawk kai awhkaw lampyi ce kau law sak tiksaw, ka khaw am pleng thai voel hy.
37 I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back not till they are consumed.
Ka qaalkhqi ce hquut nawh khai khqi nyng, ama ming qeng hlan dy taw am hlat kawng.
38 I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall under my feet,
A mami thawh hqa kaana chawm khqi nyng, ka khawk kai na tlu boeih uhy.
39 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Causest my withstanders to bow under me.
Qaal tuk aham thamahnaak ing ni thoeihcam nawh, ka qaalkhqi ce ka khawk kai na koep sak hyk ti.
40 As to mine enemies — Thou hast given to me the neck, As to those hating me — I cut them off.
Nang ing ka qaalkhqi hu benna cen sak khqi hyk ti, cawh kai ing him khqi pheng nyng.
41 They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth not answer them.
Khy laawt hlai uhy, cehlai a mingmih ak hul hly kawi pynoet awm am awm hy - Bawipa ing cekkhqi ak khynaak awi ce am hlat pehy.
42 And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the streets I empty them out.
Zilh ing a zawn dekvai amyihna vyk khqi nyng saw, lam awhkaw nawngtui amyihna hawk khqi nyng.
43 Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of the people, Thou placest me for a head of nations, A people I have not known do serve me.
Kai anik tukkungkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul nawh; pilnam a lu na ni sai hawh hyk ti.
44 At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me,
Kai a thang aming zaak awh, kak awi ngai unawh; qapchang thlangkhqi ing ka haiawh pe qu law uhy.
45 Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their close places.
Amik kaw boet nawh; a mimah a vawng kulh khui nakawng thyn doena law uhy.
46 Jehovah liveth — and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is the God of my salvation.
Bawipa taw hqing hy; ka lungnu venawh kyihcahnaak awm seh nyng! Ka hulkung Khawsa taw zoeksang na awm seh!
47 God — who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth peoples under me,
Anih taw kai aham kut anik thung peekkung Khawsa na awm nawh, pilnam thlang anik noeng sakkung na awm hy.
48 My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me.
Ka qaalkhqi ven awhkawng anik hulkung na awm hy. Nang ing ka qaalkhqik khanawh ni zoeksang nawh, khawboek chekhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul hyk ti.
49 Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to Thy name I sing praise,
Cedawngawh aw Bawipa, nang ce pilnam thlangkhqing lak awh nim kyihcah vang; nang ming kyihcahnaak laa sa vang.
50 Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed — unto the age!
Anih ing a sangpahqang venawh noengnaak ak bau soeih pe nawh; a caksak thlang venawh amak dyt thai qeennaak ce dang sak hy. David ingkaw a cadil naakhqi venawh kumqui dyna am qeennaak dang sak hy.
