Psalms 64

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,

Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; misa zithaih thung hoiah ka hinghaih hae pakaa ah.

2 Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

Kasae kaminawk mah tamquta hoi thuih o ih lokramhaih thung hoiah na pakaa ah loe, sethaih sah kaminawk salak hoiah na hawk ah;

3 Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow — a bitter word.

nihcae loe palai to sumsen baktiah taak o; palaa to kah hanah kalii anueng baktiah, loksae hoiah kami to patoep o,

4 To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

coek koi om ai kami to tamquta hoi kah hanah patoep o moe, zithaih tawn ai ah anih to kah o roep.

5 They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, 'Who doth look at it?'

Nihcae loe kasae hmuen sakhaih bangah maeto hoi maeto tha ang paek o; mi mah maw nihcae to hnu tih, tiah poek o moe, tamquta hoi thaang patung hanah a thuih o.

6 They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.

Nihcae loe kahoih ai hmuen sak hanah pakrong o; kahoih ai hmuen to ka sak o tangtang han, palung thungah a poek o ih hmuen loe thuk parai.

7 And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,

Toe Sithaw mah nihcae to palaa hoiah kat tih; nihcae loe poek ai pui hoiah ahma caa o tih.

8 And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

Angmacae ih palai to angmacae nuiah krah o sak let tih; nihcae hnu kaminawk boih cawn o tih.

9 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.

Kaminawk boih mah nihcae to zii o ueloe, Sithaw toksakhaih to taphong o tih, to naah anih mah sak ih hmuen to nihcae mah poek o tih.

10 The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!

Katoeng kami loe Angraeng ah anghoe ueloe, anih khaeah abuep tih; poek toeng kaminawk boih lensawkhaih hoiah om o tih.
