1Aw Angraeng, kahoih ai kami khae hoiah na pahlong ah; poeksae kami ih ban thung hoiah na pakaa ah;
1(140-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of David. (140-2) Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man;
2nihcae loe sethaih khue to poek o; ni thoekkruek misatuk hanah amkhueng o.
2(140-3) Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars.
3Nihcae loe palai to pahui palai baktiah taak o; nihcae ih pahni thungah pahui sae kasoe tui to oh. Selah .
3(140-4) They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom is under their lips. Selah
4Aw Angraeng, kasae kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah na pakaa ah; poeksae kami ih ban thung hoiah na pakaa ah; nihcae loe ka khok tangkan amthaeksak hanah poek o.
4(140-5) Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps slip.
5Amoek kaminawk mah kai hanah tamquta hoi thaang ang patung pae o moe, qui to payang o; ka caehhaih loklam ah palok payang o moe, dongh patung o. Selah .
5(140-6) The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah
6Angraeng khaeah, nang loe kai ih Sithaw ah na oh, tiah ka thuih; Aw Angraeng, tahmen kang hnikhaih hae tahngai ah.
6(140-7) I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications.
7Aw Angraeng Sithaw, thacak kai akrangkung, misatukhaih niah ka lu hae nang khuk pae boeh.
7(140-8) O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle,
8Aw Angraeng, kasae kaminawk koehhaih to paek hmah; nihcae poekhaih doeh koepsak hmah, to tih ai nahaeloe nihcae loe amoek o moeng tih. Selah .
8(140-9) Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. Selah
9Kai takui kaminawk ih lu loe, angmacae pahni hoi thuih ih sethaih mah khuk nasoe.
9(140-10) As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10Nihcae nuiah hmai kamngaeh to krah nasoe; nihcae angthawk o let han ai ah, kangqong hmai thungah, tangqom kathuk thungah va o nasoe.
10(140-11) Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11Sethaih lok thui thaih kami loe prae thungah om hmah nasoe; to baktih poeksae kami loe a hnukah sethaih mah patom nasoe.
11(140-12) A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; the violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust.
12Patangkhang kami to Angraeng mah khetzawn, amtang kami to toenghaih hoiah lok a caek.
12(140-13) I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy.
13Tangtang ni katoeng kaminawk mah loe na hmin to saphaw o tih; poektoeng kaminawk loe na hmaa ah om o tih.
13(140-14) Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.
