Psalms 71
1 In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age.
Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, nang doeh na kâuep. Kaya hoi na awm sak hanh.
2 In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me.
Na lannae hoi na rungngang nateh, na hlout sak haw. Kai koe lah na hnâpakeng nateh na rungngang haw.
3 Be to me for a rock — a habitation, To go in continually, Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou.
Kai ni pou ka pâtam teh ka onae lungsong lah awm haw. Kai rungngang hanelah kâ na poe teh, kaie lungsong, kaie rapan lah na o.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
Oe ka Cathut, tamikathout kut dawk hoi thoseh, tamikalanhoehe hoi tamitongthoe kut dawk hoi thoseh, na rungngang haw.
5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, oe Bawipa Jehovah, nang teh ka camo nahoi na kâuep e lah na o.
6 By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise continually.
Pek ka khe hoi na kuet teh, nang teh anu von thung hoi na ka lat e lah na o. Nang teh pou na pholen han.
7 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong refuge.
Tami moikapap kângai karusakkung lah ka o. Hatei, nang teh kacake kânguenae doeh.
8 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with] Thy beauty.
Ka pahni teh nang pholennae hoi akawi teh, hnintangkuem nange pholennae hoi kawi naseh.
9 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the consumption of my power forsake me not.
Ka matawng toteh na hnoun hanh lah a. Ka tha a youn toteh na cettakhai hanh lah a.
10 For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka tarannaw ni na pathoe awh. Kai thei han a ngai awh dawkvah, pouknae a kâpoe awh teh, na pawp awh.
11 Saying, 'God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'
Cathut ni a ceitakhai toe. Pâlei awh nateh man awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka rungngang hane awm hoeh telah ati awh.
12 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make haste.
Oe Cathut, na hlat takhai hanh. Oe ka Cathut, karanglah na kabawm haw.
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
Ka hringnae ka tarannaw hah kayayeirai hoi rawknae koe phat awh naseh. Runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah pahuipalamnae hoi yeiraiponae ni ramuk awh naseh.
14 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto all Thy praise.
Hatei, pou ka ngaihawi vaiteh, hoehoe ka pholen han.
15 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
Ka pahni ni na lannae a dei vaiteh, na rungngangnae heh hnintangkuem a hramkhai han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungmanae parei teh baw thai hoeh.
16 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy righteousness — Thine only.
Bawipa Jehovah, thaonae dawk ka cei han. Na lannae nange lannae dueng doeh ka dei han.
17 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I declare Thy wonders.
Oe Cathut, ka camo nah hoi na cangkhai toe, Atu totouh kângairu hno na sak e hah ka pâpho.
18 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.
Sekatha taminaw hoi ka tâcawt hane naw koe na thaonae hoi na hnotithainae ka pâpho hoeh roukrak, ka matawng teh ka sam a po toteh, Oe Cathut na cettakhai hanh.
19 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights, Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee?
Oe Cathut, na lannae hai a rasang poung. Oe Cathut, hnokalen kasakkung, nang patetlah apimouh ouk kaawm va.
20 Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou turnest back — Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the earth, Thou turnest back — Thou bringest me up.
Kalen ni teh ka patawpoung e runae na kâhmosakkung nang ni na roung sak nateh, kadung poung e talai thung hoi bout na rasat haw.
21 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest — Thou comfortest me,
Ka tawntanae na pung sak vaiteh, lung bout na pahawi han.
22 I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
Tamawi hoi na pholen han. Oe Cathut, yuemkamcu lah na onae hah ka pholen han. Oe Isarel e Kathoung Cathut, ratoung hoi la sak laihoi na pholen han.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul that Thou hast redeemed,
Nang pholen laihoi la ka sak toteh, ka pahni teh a lunghawi katang han. Na ratang e ka hringnae hai a lunghawi han.
24 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness, Because ashamed — because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
Ka lai ni hai kanîruirui pout laipalah na lannae a dei han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae poe hanlah kakâcainaw hah lungpout laihoi yeiraipo sak lah ao toe.
