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 Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself among us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

2 Aw Pathen, ka thangthuinah he ya lamtah, ka ka lamkah ol he hnatun lah.

Hear my prayer, 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 have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. (Selah)

4 Kai he Pathen loh m'bom tih, ka hinglu aka talong rhoek taengah ka Boeipa om ke.

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

5 Ka lungawn rhoek soah a thae neh thuung rhoe thuung lamtah, na oltak neh amih te biit lah.

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

6 Na taengah kothoh te, kan nawn saeh lamtah na then dongah BOEIPA nang ming te ka uem eh.

With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, 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 out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
