Unto the end. For the people who have become far removed from the Sacred. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when the Philistines held him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, because man has trampled over me. All day long, he has afflicted me by fighting against me.
2 Aw Kasang koek, ka misanawk mah kai caak hanah, ni thokkruek ang tuk o; nihcae loe paroeai pop o.
My enemies have trampled over me all day long. For those who make war against me are many.
3 Zithaih hoi ka oh naah, nang khaeah ka buep han.
From the height of the day, I will be afraid. But truly, I will hope in you.
4 A lok to ka pakoeh han, Sithaw ka oep pongah ka zii mak ai, kami mah kawbangmaw na naa thai tih?
In God, I will praise my words. In God, I have put my trust. I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

All day long, they curse my words. All their intentions are for evil against me.
6 Nihcae mah ka hinghaih tamit hanah angang o naah, nawnto amkhueng o, anghawk o moe, ka caehhaih khok tangkan to khet parui o.
They will dwell and hide themselves. They will watch my heel, just as they waited for my soul;
7 Nihcae loe sakpazaehaih hoiah loih o tih maw? Aw Sithaw, palung na phuihaih hoiah to kaminawk to amtimsak ah.
because of this, nothing will save them. In your anger, you will crush the people.

O God, I have announced my life to you. You have placed my tears in your sight, and even in your promise.

Then my enemies will be turned back. On whatever day that I call upon you, behold, I know that you are my God.

In God, I will praise the word. In the Lord, I will praise his speech.
11 Sithaw ka oep pongah ka zii mak ai; kami mah kawbangmaw na naa thai tih?
In God, I have hoped. I will not fear what man can do to me.
12 Aw Sithaw, na hmaa ah lokmaihaih ka sak baktih toengah; nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
My vows to you, O God, are in me. I will repay them. Praises be to you.

For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from slipping, so that I may be pleasing in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
