Psalms 86

1 A Prayer. David’s. Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear—answer me, For, oppressed and needy, am I;

David Lawkthuihaih. Aw Angraeng, na naa to patueng ah loe, na pathim ah; kai loe kamtang hoi kavawt kami ah ni ka oh.

2 O guard my life, For, a man of lovingkindness, am I, —Save thy servant, O thou my God, [Thy servant] who trusteth in thee;

Ka ciim pongah, ka hinghaih hae pathlung ah; Nang loe ka Sithaw ah ni na oh; nang oephaih tawn na tamna hae pahlong ah!

3 Show me favour, O My Lord, For, unto thee, do I cry, all the day;

Aw Angraeng, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh; ni thokkruek nang khaeah ka hangh.

4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant, For, unto thee, O My Lord, my soul, do I lift.

Na tamna ih pakhra to anghoesak ah; Aw Angraeng, nang khaeah, ka hinghaih kang vah tahang.

5 For, thou, O My Lord, art good and forgiving, And abundant in lovingkindness, to all who call upon thee.

Angraeng, nang loe na hoih, zae tahmen hanah na koeh; nang kawk kaminawk boih khaeah, pop parai palungnathaih to nam tuengsak.

6 Give ear, O Yahweh, unto my prayer, And attend unto the voice of my supplications.

Aw Angraeng, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; tahmen kang hnikhaih lok hae tahngai raeh.

7 In the day of my distress, will I call upon thee, For thou wilt answer me.

Raihaih ka tongh niah nang to kang kawk han; to naah nang mah nang pathim tih.

8 There is none like unto thee, among the gods, O My Lord, And nothing like thy works.

Aw Angraeng, sithawnawk thungah nang baktih mi doeh om ai; na sak ih toknawk baktih tok doeh om ai.

9 All nations whom thou hast made, Shall come in and bow down before thee, O My Lord, That they may glorify thy Name.

Aw Angraeng, na sak ih prae congca kaminawk angzo o tih; nihcae loe na hmaa ah tabok o ueloe, na hmin to pakoeh o tih.

10 For great thou art, and doest wondrous things, Thou, O God, of thyself alone.

Nang loe lensawk moe, dawnrai hmuennawk to na sak; Sithaw ah kaom loe nang khue ni.

11 Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, I will walk steadfastly in thy truth, My heart will rejoice to revere thy Name.

Aw Angraeng, loklam na patuek ah; kai loe na loktang lok pongah ni ka caeh han; na hmin ka zit thaih hanah, ka palungthin hae amhongsak ah.

12 I will give thee thanks, Adonay, my God, with all my heart, And will glorify thy Name unto times age-abiding.

Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, ka palungthin boih hoiah kang pakoeh han; dungzan khoek to na hmin kang pakoeh han.

13 For, thy lovingkindness, is great towards me, And thou hast rescued my soul from Hades beneath. (Sheol h7585)

Na palungnathaih loe kating ai len; kathuk taprong thung hoiah ka hinghaih to nang pahlong boeh. (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, the insolent, have arisen against me, And, the assembly of tyrants, have sought my life, And have not set thee before them.

Aw Sithaw, amoek kaminawk loe naeh hanah angthawk o tahang; tahmenhaih tawn ai amkhueng kaminawk loe nang to hmaloe koek ah suem o ai, nihcae loe ka hinghaih to pakrong o.

15 But, thou, O My Lord, art, A God of compassion and favour, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness a faithfulness.

Toe Aw Angraeng, nang loe tahmenhaih, amlunghaih, pauep thaihaih, pop parai palungnathaih, loktang lok hoiah koi Sithaw ah na oh.

16 Turn thou unto me, and show me favour, —Give thy strength to thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.

Kai khaeah angqoi ah loe, ka nuiah palungnathaih to tawn ah; na tamna khaeah na thacakhaih to paek ah loe, na tamna nongpata ih capa hae pahlong ah.

17 Perform with me a token for good, —That they who hate me may see and be ashamed, In that, thou, Yahweh, hast helped me and comforted me.

Kai hnuma kaminawk mah a hnuk o thaih moe, azat o thaih hanah, kai han angmathaih kahoih to na patuek ah; tih pongah tih nahaeloe Angraeng nang mah nang bomh moe, nang pathloep boeh.
