< Tingtoeng 54 >
1 Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham, “Ziphim loh Saul taengla cet tih kaimih taengah David a thuh moenih, a ti nah vaengkah, David hlohlai Aw Pathen na ming neh kai n'khang lamtah, na thayung thamal neh kai n'tang sak.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!
2 Aw Pathen, ka thangthuinah he ya lamtah, ka ka lamkah ol he hnatun lah.
Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.
3 Hlanglak rhoek kai taengah tlai uh tih, hlanghaeng neh a hmai kah Pathen te, a nawt na uh kolla ka hinglu a mae uh. (Selah)
For strangers rise up against me, and ruthless men seek my life— men with no regard for God.
4 Kai he Pathen loh m'bom tih, ka hinglu aka talong rhoek taengah ka Boeipa om ke.
Surely God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
5 Ka lungawn rhoek soah a thae neh thuung rhoe thuung lamtah, na oltak neh amih te biit lah.
He will reward my enemies with evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them.
6 Na taengah kothoh te, kan nawn saeh lamtah na then dongah BOEIPA nang ming te ka uem eh.
Freely I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7 Citcai cungkuem lamkah kai n'huul tih, ka thunkha rhoek te ka mik loh a sawt.
For He has delivered me from every trouble, and my eyes have stared down my foes.
