Tingtoeng 64

1 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.

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

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

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

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

Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

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

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privately; they say, Who shall see them?

6 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.

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

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

But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

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

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

9 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.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

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

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
