Psalms 140
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Deliuer me, O Lord, from the euill man: preserue me from the cruel man:
[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.
2 Which imagine euill things in their heart, and make warre continually.
A lungbuei khuiah boethae a huet uh tih khohnin takuem caem a hueh uh.
3 They haue sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders poyson is vnder their lips. (Selah)
A lai te rhul bangla a suih tih a hmuilai dongah minta sue kap. (Selah)
4 Keepe mee, O Lord, from the handes of the wicked: preserue mee from the cruell man, which purposeth to cause my steppes to slide.
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.
5 The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spred a nette with cordes in my pathway, and set grennes for me. (Selah)
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)
6 Therefore I saide vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare, O Lord, the voyce of my prayers.
BOEIPA taengah, “Namah tah kai kah Pathen. BOEIPA aw ka huithuinah ol he hnakaeng lah,” ka ti.
7 O Lord God the strength of my saluation, thou hast couered mine head in the day of battel.
Ka Boeipa Yahovah tah kai kah khangnah sarhi ni. Lungpok haica khohnin ah pataeng ka lu soah nan khuk coeng.
8 Let not the wicked haue his desire, O Lord: performe not his wicked thought, least they be proude. (Selah)
BOEIPA aw halang kah huengaihnah te na rhoi moenih. A kopoek thae na dang sak pawt te ni a pomsang uh eh. (Selah)
9 As for the chiefe of them, that compasse me about, let the mischiefe of their owne lippes come vpon them.
Kai aka ven rhoek kah a lu te amamih hmuilai kah thakthaenah loh amamih te thing rhoe thing saeh.
10 Let coles fal vpon them: let him cast them into the fire, and into the deepe pits, that they rise not.
Amih soah hmai-alh tla rhoe tla saeh. Amih te hmai khui neh rhomdung khuila cungku saeh lamtah thoo uh boel saeh.
11 For the backbiter shall not be established vpon the earth: euill shall hunt the cruell man to destruction.
Olsai hlang he hlang kah khohmuen ah naepnoi boel saeh. Boethae kuthlahnah te khaw pathaeng payang la yoep saeh.
12 I know that the Lord will auenge the afflicted, and iudge the poore.
Mangdaeng kah dumlai neh khodaeng kah laitloeknah BOEIPA loh a rhoi te ka ming rhoela ka ming.
13 Surely the righteous shall prayse thy Name, and the iust shall dwell in thy presence.
Aka dueng rhoek loh na ming te rhep a uem uh vetih aka thuem rhoek ni na mikhmuh ah kho a sak uh eh.
