Psalms 71
1 In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
Aw Bawipa, nang awh ni kang thuk; ityk awh awm chah qai koeh ni huh sak.
2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
Na dyngnaak ing ni boem nawhtaw ni hul lah; kai benna nang haa hawi law nawhtaw ni hul lah.
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.
Ka cehnaak loet aham kang thuknaak lungnu na awm nawh; kai hul aham awi pe lah, kawtih nang taw ka lungnu ingkaw kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
AW ka Khawsa, thlak thawlhkhqi kut khui awhkawng ni hul lah, thlak chekhqi ingkaw thlak tlung am tunaak awhkawng ni hul lah.
5 For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
Aw Boeimang Bawipa, nang taw kang ngaih-unaak kung na awm hyk ti, ka tawng plang awhkawng ka ypnaak na awm hawh hyk ti.
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.
Ka thang plek ca awhkawng ni nang awh kang hang qu hawh hy; nang ing ka nu puk khui awhkawng nik dawk hyk ti. Nang ve ang loet na nim kyihcah vang.
7 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
Thlang khawzah ang ngaihkyi naak na awm nyng. Cehlai, nang taw kang thuknaak na awm hyk ti.
8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honour all day long.
Kam kha ve nang kyihcahnaak ing be nawh, khawnghi zung na boeimangnaak ce kqawn hy.
9 Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.
Ka pacawng awh ce nang ing koeh ni qoek sut; kak tha a boeih awh ce koeh ni qoeng sut.
10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
Ikawtih, ka qaalkhqi ing kai ama ni ngaihnaak awi kqawn unawh; kai him aham anik qehkhqi mi kut oet na hqui qu uhy.
11 saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
Cekkhqi ing, Khawsa ing qoek hawh hy; hquut u nawhtaw tu uh, u ingawm am hul tang ti kaw,” ti uhy.
12 God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
Aw Khawsa, ak hla na koeh ni awmtaak: Aw ka Khawsa, kai hul aham ang tawnna law lah.
13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
Kai thawlh anik pukkhqi ce chahqai phyi u seitaw, kai a thawlh peek aham ak ngaihkhqi ce kqawn setnaak ingkaw kaw boetnaak ing sing khqi khoep seh nyng.
14 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
Cehlai, kai ingtaw ngaih-unaak ta loet nyng; nang ce nim kyihcah khqoet khqoet kawng nyng.
15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.
Kam kha ing nang a dyngnaak ce kqawn kawmsaw, a nyhtahnaak am sim hqawh bai nyng seiawm, na hulnaak ce myngawi na kqawn kawng.
16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
Aw Boeimang Khawsa, law nyng saw nang ak thaawm ik-oeih saikhqi ce khypyi kawng nyng; nang a koe, nang doeng a dyngnaak ce kqawn kawng nyng.
17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
Aw Khawsa, ka tawng plang awhkawng nang ing ni cawngpyi tiksaw, tuhngawi dy awh nang a kawpoek kyi ik-oeih saikhqi ce kqawn nyng,
18 Yes, even when I am old and grey-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
Hang pacawng nawh ka lusam kqawk hawh seiawm, Aw Khawsa, nak thaawmnaak ce ak law hly cadilkhqi ingkaw ak law hly thlangkhqi venawh kak kqawn hlan dy, nang ing koeh ni qoek sut.
19 God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
Aw Khawsa, ik-oeih bau soeih ak saikung, na dyngnaak ing khawnghi hak pha hy, nang amyihna u nu ak awm bai?
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.
Kyinaak khawzah papa ingkaw ak kha soeih khawzah na ni huh sak hawh hlai hyk ti, ka hqingnaak ve ni pe tlaih kawp ti, dek a dungnaak a hun awhkawng ni hak dawk tlaih kawp ti.
21 Increase my honour and comfort me again.
Ka thangleeknaak pung law sak kawm tiksaw ni ngaih ding law sak tlaih bai kawp ti.
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.
Aw ka Khawsa, na ypawmnaak awh nang ce tingtoeng ing nim kyihcah kawng nyng saw; Aw Israel a thlak ciim, qaw tingtoeng tum doena nang kyihcahnaak laa ce sa vang.
23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
Nang kyihcahnaak laa ka sak awh ce ka hui ve zeel doena khy kaw. Kai ve nang ing ni, nani hul hy.
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.
Kam lai ing nang a ik-oeih sai ak dyng ce khawnghi zung kqawn kaw, kawtih kai tlawh peek aham ak ngaihkhqi ce chahqai phyi unawh ngaihang tumna awm hawh uhy.
