1Deliver me, LORD, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men:
1Aw Angraeng, kahoih ai kami khae hoiah na pahlong ah; poeksae kami ih ban thung hoiah na pakaa ah;
2those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
2nihcae loe sethaih khue to poek o; ni thoekkruek misatuk hanah amkhueng o.
3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.
3Nihcae loe palai to pahui palai baktiah taak o; nihcae ih pahni thungah pahui sae kasoe tui to oh. Selah .
4LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
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.
5The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.
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 .
6I said to the LORD, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD.
6Angraeng khaeah, nang loe kai ih Sithaw ah na oh, tiah ka thuih; Aw Angraeng, tahmen kang hnikhaih hae tahngai ah.
7LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
7Aw Angraeng Sithaw, thacak kai akrangkung, misatukhaih niah ka lu hae nang khuk pae boeh.
8LORD, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.
8Aw Angraeng, kasae kaminawk koehhaih to paek hmah; nihcae poekhaih doeh koepsak hmah, to tih ai nahaeloe nihcae loe amoek o moeng tih. Selah .
9As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
9Kai takui kaminawk ih lu loe, angmacae pahni hoi thuih ih sethaih mah khuk nasoe.
10Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.
10Nihcae nuiah hmai kamngaeh to krah nasoe; nihcae angthawk o let han ai ah, kangqong hmai thungah, tangqom kathuk thungah va o nasoe.
11An evil speaker won’t be established on the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
11Sethaih lok thui thaih kami loe prae thungah om hmah nasoe; to baktih poeksae kami loe a hnukah sethaih mah patom nasoe.
12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.
12Patangkhang kami to Angraeng mah khetzawn, amtang kami to toenghaih hoiah lok a caek.
13Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
13Tangtang ni katoeng kaminawk mah loe na hmin to saphaw o tih; poektoeng kaminawk loe na hmaa ah om o tih.
