Saam 54

1 Katoeng kruek kaminawk hanah. David ih Maskil. Ziph kaminawk Saul khaeah caeh o moe, Kaicae salakah David anghawk na ai maw? tiah a naa o nathuem ih. Aw Sithaw, na hmin hoiah na pahlong ah, na thacakhaih rang hoiah lok na caek ah.

Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David, when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?” Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.

2 Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hoi ka thuih ih loknawk hae tahngai ah.

O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.

3 Panoek ai ih kaminawk loe kai tuk hanah angthawk o, tahmenhaih tawn ai kaminawk loe, ka hinghaih to pakrong o: nihcae loe Sithaw mikhmai khethaih tawn o ai. (Selah)

For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.

4 Khenah, Sithaw loe kai bomkung ah oh: Sithaw loe ka hinghaih patawn kaminawk khaeah oh.

For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

5 Anih loe ka misanawk to sethaih hoiah lula pathok tih: na loktang lok hoiah nihcae to amrosak ah.

Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.

6 Ka koeh ih baktiah nang khaeah angbawnhaih to ka sak han: Aw Angraeng, na hmin pakoehhaih loe hoih pongah, nang to kang pakoeh han.

I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.

7 Ka raihaihnawk boih thung hoiah Ang pahlong pongah, ka misanawk to taahaih mik hoiah ka khet.

For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
