A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they multiplied that trouble me? many [are] they that rise up against me.
2 “Pathen lamkah khangnah tah anih ham moenih,” tila ka hinglu he muep a thui uh. (Selah)
Many [there are] who say of my soul, [There is] no help for him in God. (Selah)
3 Tedae, BOEIPA nang tah kai taengah photling, ka thangpomnah neh ka lu aka pomsang la na om.
But thou, O LORD, [art] a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me from his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Kai he BOEIPA loh n'duel dongah, ka yalh tih ka ip dae koep ka haenghang,
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 Ka pilnam a thawng a sang aka pai khoep te ka rhih mahpawh.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set [themselves] against me on all sides.
7 Aw ka BOEIPA Pathen thoo laeh! namah loh ka thunkha te boeih na ngawn tih, halang rhoek kah kamken no khaw na thuk dongah kai he n'khang laeh.
Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all my enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Khangnah he BOEIPA taengkah ni. Nang kah yoethennah loh na pilnam soah om saeh. (Selah)
Salvation [belongeth] to the LORD: thy blessing [is] upon thy people. (Selah)
