To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us? O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

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

O God, hear my prayer; give ear 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 are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

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

He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

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 unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

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

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
