A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son. Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.
2 Kaminawk mah, Sithaw mah anih to angsak haih mak ai, tiah ang naa o. (Selah)
Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 Toe aw Angraeng, nang loe ka buephaih, ka lensawkhaih ah na oh moe, kai ih lu atoengh tahang kami ah na oh.
But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.
4 Angraeng khaeah tha hoi ka hang naah, anih mah angmah ih kaciim mae nui hoiah ka lok ang pathim. (Selah)
I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Kang song moe, ka iih; Angraeng mah ang patawnh pongah, kang thawk let.
I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.
6 Kai takui khoep, ka misa sang hatonawk to ka zii mak ai.
I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.
7 Aw Angraeng, angthawk ah; Aw ka Sithaw, na pahlong ah: ka misanawk ih akam huh to nang boh pae moe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ih haa to nam rosak.
Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.
8 Pahlonghaih loe Sithaw ih ni; na tahamhoihaih loe nangmah ih kaminawk nuiah om nasoe. (Selah)
Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah)
