Psalms 28
1 By David. To you, LORD, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.
Aw Bawipa ka lungnu, namah ni ka nik khy; am hlat kaana koeh ni awm taak. Nang ing am na ning ngainaak awhtaw lawk-kqawng khuiawh ak tlakhqi amyihna ni ka awm hly.
2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands towards your Most Holy Place.
Nam qeennaak huh aham ni doet nyng, na hun caih soeih benna ka kut qawi ka soeng law awh qeennaak thoeh doena kak khynaak awi ve ngai law lah.
3 Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
Thlak chekhqi, ik-oeih amak leek ak sai thlangkhqi mi koeh nik dawh sih qen, cekkhqi ing a pilnamkhqi venawh zeelnaak awi taw kqawn kaa lawt hlai uhy, ak kawlung khui awhtaw ak che khqoet ni a awm.
4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.
Ak che ik-oeih ami sainaak amyihna thung pek khqi tloep lawt lah; a mimah ing ak tyng na amah a kut sainaak ce thung pe lah.
5 Because they don’t respect the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he will break them down and not build them up.
Bawipa a bibinaakkhqi ingkaw a kut saikhqi ce kaw na awm a maming ngaih dawngawh, cekkhqi ce khqai poet poet kawmsaw ityk awh awm am thawh khqi voel tikaw.
6 Blessed be the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my petitions.
Qeennaak ka thoehnaak khqi ve a ning zaak peek a dawngawh, Bawipa venawh zoeksangnaak awm seh nyng.
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.
Bawipa taw kak thaawmnaak ingkaw ka phuhqa na awm hy; kak kawlung ing amah ce ka ypnaak a dawngawh ni bawm hy. Kak kaw zeel soeih nawh amah venawh zeelnaak awi kqawn doena laa sa vang.
8 The LORD is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.
Bawipa taw ak thlangkhqi ham thaawmnaak na awm nawh, amah ing a caksak thlangkhqi ham hulnaak vawngcak na awm hy.
9 Save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, and bear them up forever.
Nak thlangkhqi ce hul nawhtaw na qo ak pangkhqi ce zosennaak pe lah; a mingmih a tuudoenkung na awm nawh kumqui dyna khai khqi loet lah.
