Tingtoeng 11

1 Aka mawt ham David kah BOEIPA dongah ka ying coeng. Metlamlae ka hinglu te vaa bangla na tlang dongah rhaehba khaw rhaehba mai na ti?

For the music director: A psalm of David. Lord, you are my protection. So how can you tell me, “Fly away to the mountains like a bird”?

2 Halang rhoek loh lungbuei aka thuem rhoek te a hmuep lamloh kah ham, lirhui dongah thaltang a mop uh tih lii a phuk uh thil ke.

Look, the wicked are drawing their bows, loading them with arrows ready to shoot from the shadows at good people.

3 A yung a paa te a koengloeng uh vaengah aka dueng loh balae a saii thai?

When the foundations of society are destroyed, what can those who live right do?

4 BOEIPA tah amah kah bawkim cim ah om. BOEIPA kah a ngolkhoel tah vaan ah om. Hlang capa rhoek te a mik neh a dawn tih a mikkhu neh a noem.

The Lord is in his Temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven. He keeps a close eye on everyone, watching them carefully.

5 BOEIPA loh aka dueng neh aka halang te a noem vaengah kuthlahnah aka lungnah te BOEIPA kah a hinglu loh a hmuhuet.

The Lord examines both those who do right and those who do evil, but he hates those who love violence.

6 Halang tah hmai pael neh kat a tlan thil vetih yilh ling boengloeng te a buham nah ni.

He will make blazing coals and sulfur rain down on the wicked; a scorching wind is what's coming on them.

7 Duengnah BOEIPA tah a dueng dongah a thuem aka lungnah rhoek long ni a maelhmai a hmuh uh eh.

The Lord does what is right, and he loves those who live right. Those who do good will see him face to face.
