Psalms 71
1 In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
Kathutkung: Panuekhoeh Oe BAWIPA, nang doeh na kâuep. Kaya hoi na awm sak hanh.
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, 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 a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
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 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Oe ka Cathut, tamikathout kut dawk hoi thoseh, tamikalanhoehe hoi tamitongthoe kut dawk hoi thoseh, na rungngang haw.
5 For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, oe Bawipa Jehovah, nang teh ka camo nahoi na kâuep e lah na o.
6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
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 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
Tami moikapap kângai karusakkung lah ka o. Hatei, nang teh kacake kânguenae doeh.
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.
Ka pahni teh nang pholennae hoi akawi teh, hnintangkuem nange pholennae hoi kawi naseh.
9 Do not reject me in my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
Ka matawng toteh na hnoun hanh lah a. Ka tha a youn toteh na cettakhai hanh lah a.
10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire 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 has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
Cathut ni a ceitakhai toe. Pâlei awh nateh man awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka rungngang hane awm hoeh telah ati awh.
12 God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
Oe Cathut, na hlat takhai hanh. Oe ka Cathut, karanglah na kabawm haw.
13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
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 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
Hatei, pou ka ngaihawi vaiteh, hoehoe ka pholen han.
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I do not know its full measure.
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 will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
Bawipa Jehovah, thaonae dawk ka cei han. Na lannae nange lannae dueng doeh ka dei han.
17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
Oe Cathut, ka camo nah hoi na cangkhai toe, Atu totouh kângairu hno na sak e hah ka pâpho.
18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
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 God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
Oe Cathut, na lannae hai a rasang poung. Oe Cathut, hnokalen kasakkung, nang patetlah apimouh ouk kaawm va.
20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
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 Increase my honor and comfort me again.
Ka tawntanae na pung sak vaiteh, lung bout na pahawi han.
22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, 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 shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
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 will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
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.
