To the chief Musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 Aw Kasang koek, ka misanawk mah kai caak hanah, ni thokkruek ang tuk o; nihcae loe paroeai pop o.
Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be] many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 Zithaih hoi ka oh naah, nang khaeah ka buep han.
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
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 his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 Nihcae loe ni thokkruek ka loknawk to tamet o, ka nuiah kahoih ai poekhaih a tawnh o.
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are] against me for evil.
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 gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 Nihcae loe sakpazaehaih hoiah loih o tih maw? Aw Sithaw, palung na phuihaih hoiah to kaminawk to amtimsak ah.
Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Ahmuen kruekah kam hethaih to na poek paeh loe, ka mikkhraetuinawk hae nangmah ih pailang thungah na khrum paeh: to mikkhraetuinawk loe na cabu thungah oh na ai maw?
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: [are they] not in thy book?
9 Sithaw kai khaeah oh pongah, kang kawk naah, ka misanawk loe hnukbangah angnawn o tih, tiah ka panoek.
When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God [is] for me.
10 Sithaw oephaih hoiah a lok to ka pakoeh han; Sithaw oephaih hoiah a lok to ka pakoeh han.
In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.
11 Sithaw ka oep pongah ka zii mak ai; kami mah kawbangmaw na naa thai tih?
In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 Aw Sithaw, na hmaa ah lokmaihaih ka sak baktih toengah; nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13 Tipongah tih nahaeloe duekhaih thung hoiah nang loisak boeh; Sithaw hmaa ah ka hing kaminawk ih aanghaih hoiah ka caeh thai hanah, ka khok hae nam thaeksak ai.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not [thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
