Psalms 64

1 For the leader. A psalm of David. Hear, O my God, the voice of my lament: guard my life from the dread of the foe.

Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, ka phuenangnae dawk, ka lawk na thai pouh haw. Ka tarannaw ka takinae koehoi ka hringnae na khetyawt lawih.

2 Hide me from villains who secretly plot, from the blustering throng of the workers of evil,

Tamikathoutnaw e kâdeikâpannae koehoi thoseh, Payonnae kasaknaw kamkhuengnae koehoi thoseh, na ngue haw.

3 who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, and aimed bitter words like arrows,

Ahnimouh ni amamae lai hah, tahloi patetlah a hran sak awh.

4 which from ambush they launch at the blameless, shooting swiftly and unafraid.

Yonnae ka tawn hoeh e tami hah arulahoi ka hanelah, lawkthoeumkha pala hoi a nue awh teh, takinae tawn laipalah vaitalahoi ouk a ka awh.

5 They strengthen their wicked purpose, they tell of the snares they have hidden, they say to themselves, ‘Who can see?’

Hawihoehnae dawk buet touh hoi buet touh a kâhroecoe awh. Tangkhek patung hanelah a kâpan awh teh, apinimouh na hmu han vah ouk ati awh.

6 They think out their crimes full cunningly hidden deep in their crafty hearts.

Hawihoehnae hah ma hanelah a pâphue awh. Ngit a pâphue awh. Lungthin thung lengkaleng a pouknae teh a dungpoung.

7 But God with his arrow will shoot them, swiftly shall they be smitten.

Ahnimouh teh Cathut ni pala hoi a ka vaiteh, pouk laipalah hmâ a ca awh han.

8 For their tongue he will bring them to ruin, all will shudder with horror at the sight of them.

A dei awh e lawk dawk letlang a rawp sak vaiteh, ka hmawt e pueng ni a yawng takhai awh han.

9 Then every person, touched to awe, as they ponder what God has wrought, will tell the tale of his deeds.

Tami pueng ni taket vaiteh, Cathut ni a sak e doeh tie a pâpho awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmantang a sak awh e hah a pouk awh han.

10 In the Lord shall the righteous rejoice, in him shall they take refuge; and all the true-hearted shall glory.

Tamikalan teh BAWIPA dawk konawm vaiteh, ama hah a kâuep han. A lungthin kalan e pueng ni a pholen awh han.
