Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1I love You, O LORD, my strength.
1Te dongah, “Kai kah ka thadueng, BOEIPA nang te kan haidam,” a ti.
2The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
2BOEIPA tah ka thaelpang, ka rhalvong neh kai aka hlawt, ka Pathen, ka lungpang la om. Amah dongah ka ying tih ka photling, daemnah molsom, neh ka imsang la om.
3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
3Thang then ham aka koih BOEIPA te ka khue vaengah ka thunkha rhoek kut lamkah ka daem.
4The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
4Dueknah rhuihet loh kai n'yen tih aka muen soklong loh kai n'let sak.
5The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me.
5Saelkhui kah rhuihet loh kai m'ven tih dueknah hlaeh loh kai m'mah.
6In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.
6Ka kho a bing vaengah BOEIPA te ka khue tih ka Pathen taengah ka pang. A bawkim lamloh ka ol a yaak tih ka pang ol loh amah hmai neh a hna khuila a pha.
7Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
7Te vaengah diklai tuen tih hinghuen. Amah taengah a sai dongah tlang yung rhoek khaw tlai uh tih tuen uh.
8Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
8A hnarhong lamkah hmaikhu thoeng tih a ka lamkah hmai loh a laeh vaengah hmai-alh khaw tak.
9He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
9Te phoeiah vaan te a koiloep tih a suntlak vaengah yinnah tah a kho hmui la pawk.
10He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
10Cherub dongah ngol bal tih a ding vaengah khohli phae soah ding hang.
11He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.
11Khohmuep te a kaepvai kah a hlipyingnah la, khomong khomai kah tamyin tui te a dungtlungim la a khueh.
12From the brightness of His presence His clouds advanced— hailstones and coals of fire.
12Amah hmai kah a aa te a khomai khui lamkah rhael neh hmai alh la coe.
13The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded— hailstones and coals of fire.
13Te phoeiah BOEIPA tah vaan lamkah loh ha kawk tih Khohni loh a ol a huel vaengah rhael neh hmai alh la thoeng.
14He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
14A thaltang a kah tih amih te a taek a yaak. Rhaek neh a daeh tih amih te a khawkkhek.
15The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
15Na thintoek kah na hiil yilh neh BOEIPA nang kah tluungnah dongah sokca kah tui phoe tih lunglai khaw a yung hoep.
16He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
16A sang lamloh yueng uh tih tui dueng khui kah kai he n'tuuk tih n'doek.
17He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
17Kai ham tah tlung uh coeng dae ka thunkha hlangtlung taeng lamkah neh ka lunguet taeng lamloh kai n'huul.
18They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
18Ka rhainah khohnin ah amih loh kai m'mah uh cakhaw kai ham tukcawt longkhawn la BOEIPA om.
19He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
19Tedae ka khuiah a naep dongah kai he a hoengpoeknah la n'thak tih kai n'pumcum sak.
20The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
20Ka duengnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai n'thuung tih ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah ha mael.
21For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
21BOEIPA kah longpuei ka ngaithuen tih ka Pathen taeng lamkah ka poehlip van pawh.
22For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
22Te dongah a laitloeknah boeih te kamah hmai ah ka khueh tih a khosing te kamah taeng lamkah ka phaelh pawh.
23And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
23Amah hmaiah cuemthuek la ka om tih kamah kathaesainah lamloh khaw ka cue uh.
24So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
24Te dongah ka duengnah neh amah mikhmuh ah ka kut kah cimcaihnah vanbangla kai taengah BOEIPA loh n'thuung coeng.
25To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
25Hingcim taengah uepom la na om tih, cuemthuek hlang taengah na cungkuem coeng.
26to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
26Aka meet uh taengah na meet uh tih voeldak te tah na hnueih.
27For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.
27Namah loh pilnam mangdaeng te na khang tih mikhmuh kah aka pomsang rhoek khaw na kunyun sak.
28For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.
28Ka BOEIPA Pathen namah loh ka hmaithoi nan tok tih ka hmaisuep khaw a tue.
29For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.
29Namah neh caem ka poeng tih ka Pathen nen tah pangbueng khaw ka poe thai.
30As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
30Pathen tah a longpuei khangmai tih BOEIPA tah olthui a cimcaih dongah anih khuiah aka ying boeih ham tah photling la a om pah.
31For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
31BOEIPA phoeiah Pathen te unim? Mamih kah Pathen phoeiah tah unim lungpang bal?
32It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.
32Pathen loh kai he khuehtawn m'vah sak tih, ka longpuei khangmai la a khueh.
33He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
33Ka kho he sayuk bangla han saii tih, ka hmuensang ah kai m'pai sak.
34He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
34Ka kut he caemtloek ham a cang tih, ka ban loh rhohum lii khaw a phuk thai.
35You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.
35Namah kah khangnah photling te kai taengah nan paek tih, na bantang kut loh kai n'duel. Te dongah na kodonah neh kai nan rhoeng sak.
36You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
36Ka kungdak kah ka kholaeh khaw na aeh dongah ka kho paloe pawh.
37I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
37Ka thunkha rhoek te ka hloem tih amih te ka kae phoeiah amih ka khah hlanah ka balkhong moenih.
38I crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
38Amih te ka phop daengah ni thoo uh thai pawt tih ka kho tangah a bakop uh.
39You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
39Caemtloek ham khaw kai he thadueng nan vah sak tih kai aka tlai thil rhoek te kamah hmuila na koisu.
40You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
40Te dongah ka thunkha rhoek kah a rhawn te kai taengah na duen sak tih ka lunguet te ka biit.
41They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
41BOEIPA taengah pang uh coeng dae khang voel pawt tih amih te doo voel pawh.
42I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them like mud in the streets.
42Te dongah amih te khohli hman kah laipi bangla ka neet tih long kah tangnong bangla ka hawk.
43You have delivered me from the strife of the people; You have made me the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
43Pilnam kah tuituknah khui lamkah kai nan hlawt. Namtom kah a lu la kai nan khueh ming pawt pilnam loh kai taengah tho a thueng.
44When they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cower before me.
44Ka ol te a hna dongah olthang la a yaak uh vaengah kholong ca rhoek loh kai taengah mai a tum uh.
45Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
45Kholong ca rhoek loh tahah uh tih amamih vongtung khui lamkah samoe uh.
46The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—
46BOEIPA he hingnah la a om dongah ka lungpang tah a yoethen pai tih ka daemnah Pathen tah pomsang pai saeh.
47the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,
47Pathen loh kai hamla tawnlohnah a paek dongah kai dangah ni pilnam a voek.
48who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
48Ka thunkha rhoek taeng lamkah kai nan hlawt, kai aka tlai thil soah kai nan pomsang bal. Hlang kah kuthlahnah lamkah kai nan huul.
49Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
49Te dongah BOEIPA nang te namtom taengah kan uem vetih na ming te ka tingtoeng ni.
50Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
50A manghai kah khangnah tah len khaw len pai. Te dongah ni sitlohnah he a koelh taengah khaw, David neh a tiingan taengah khaw kumhal duela a saii pah.
