Tingtoeng 140
1 Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung BOEIPA aw boethae Adam kut lamloh kai n'pumcum sak lamtah, kuthlahnah hlang kut lamloh kai n'kueinah lah.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Deliver me, O LORD! from the evil man, Save me from the man of violence,
2 A lungbuei khuiah boethae a huet uh tih khohnin takuem caem a hueh uh. (Selah)
Who meditate mischief in their heart, And daily stir up war!
3 A lai te rhul bangla a suih tih a hmuilai dongah minta sue kap. (Selah)
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; The poison of the adder is under their lips. (Pause)
4 BOEIPA aw halang kut lamkah neh hlang kah kuthlahnah lamloh kai dawndah lah. Ka kho ah kalh sak ham moeh uh cakhaw kai nan kueinah coeng.
Defend me, O LORD! from the hands of the wicked, Preserve me from the man of violence, Who have purposed to cause my fall! (Pause)
5 Thinthah rhoek loh kai ham pael neh rhuihet uh a tung uh. Namtlak hmoi ah lawk a tung uh tih kai hamla hlaeh a tung uh. (Selah)
The proud have hidden snares and cords for me; They have spread a net by the way-side; They have set traps for me.
6 BOEIPA taengah, “Namah tah kai kah Pathen. BOEIPA aw ka huithuinah ol he hnakaeng lah,” ka ti.
I say to Jehovah, Thou art my God; Hear, O Jehovah! the voice of my supplication!
7 Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah kai kah khangnah sarhi ni. Lungpokhaica khohnin ah pataeng ka lu soah nan khuk coeng.
The Lord Jehovah is my saving strength: Thou shelterest my head in the day of battle!
8 BOEIPA aw halang kah huengaihnah te na rhoi moenih. A kopoek thae na dang sak pawt te ni a pomsang uh eh. (Selah)
Grant not, O LORD! the desires of the wicked; Let not their devices prosper; Let them not exalt themselves!
9 Kai aka ven rhoek kah a lu te amamih hmuilai kah thakthaenah loh amamih te thing rhoe thing saeh.
As for the heads of those who encompass me, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them!
10 Amih soah hmai-alh tla rhoe tla saeh. Amih te hmai khui neh rhomdung khuila cungku saeh lamtah thoo uh boel saeh.
Let burning coals fall upon them; May they be cast into the fire, And into deep waters from which they shall not arise!
11 Olsai hlang he hlang kah khohmuen ah naepnoi boel saeh. Boethae kuthlahnah te khaw pathaeng payang la yoep saeh.
The slanderer shall not be established upon the earth; Evil shall pursue the violent man to destruction.
12 Mangdaeng kah dumlai neh khodaeng kah laitloeknah BOEIPA loh a rhoi te ka ming rhoela ka ming.
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And the right of the poor.
13 Aka dueng rhoek loh na ming te rhep a uem uh vetih aka Olsai rhoek ni na mikhmuh ah kho a sak uh eh.
Yea, the righteous shall praise thy name; The upright shall dwell in thy presence!
