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,

Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung Pathen aw ka kohuetnah ol he han ya lah. Thunkha kah birhihnah lamloh ka hingnah he hang kueinah lah.

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

Thaehuet rhoek kah baecenol neh, boethae aka saii rhoihui kut lamkah, kai nan thuh.

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

A lai te cunghang bangla haat tih, a ol khaa te thaltang la a nuen uh.

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

A cuemthuek te a huephael lamloh a nuen tih, anih te buengrhuet a kah uh khaw rhih uh pawh.

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

Ol thae doek ham amamih thaphoh uh thae tih, “Hlaeh tung uh sih lamtah unim aka hmuh ve?,” a ti uh.

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

Dumlai khaw a phuelhthaih uh tih, “Poeknah he khak n'uep coeng,” a tiuh. Te dongah hlang kah lungbuei khui he, a dung la om.

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

Tedae amih te Pathen loh thaltang neh a kah buengrhuet vetih, hmasoe la om uh ni.

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

Te vaengah amamih kah olka a tongtah uh te, aka hmuh boeih loh yong uh ni.

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

Tedae hlang tom loh a rhih uh vaengah, Pathen kah a bisai te a thui uh vetih, a khoboe te a lungming puei uh ni.

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

Aka dueng te BOEIPA ah a kohoe saeh lamtah amah dongah ying saeh. Lungbuei aka thuem boeih khaw thangthen uh saeh.
