Tingtoeng 56
1 [Aka mawt ham Gath ah Philisti loh amah a khoh vaengkah David kah lakhla olmueh vahui laa] Khohnin takuem kai aka nen la aka nen, hlanghing loh kai n'hloem dongah, Pathen aw kai n'rhen dae.
“For the leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “The dumb dove among strangers.” A psalm of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.” Have pity upon me, O God! for man panteth for my life; My adversary daily oppresseth me!
2 Ka lungawn rhoek loh khohnin takuem n'hloem uh tih, kai he koevoeinah neh aka nen khaw yet.
Mine enemies daily pant for my life, And many are they who war proudly against me.
3 Kai loh ka rhih khohnin ah, namah dongla ka pangtung.
When I am in fear, I will put my trust in thee!
4 Pathen rhang neh amah kah olka te ka thangthen. Pathen dongah ka pangtung tih ka rhih mahpawh. Pumsa loh kai taengah balae a saii thai.
Through God shall I praise his word; In God do I put my trust; I will not fear; What can flesh do to me?
5 Khohnin yung ah kai ol a yakdam uh tih a kopoek boeih khaw kai taengah thae uh.
Every day they wrest my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 Amih loh ka kholaeh te, a dawn a dawn uh tih m'mae uh. Ka hinglu he a lamtawn uh dongah n'tawt uh.
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they watch my steps, Lying in wait for my life.
7 Amih kah boethae ah na thintoek loh pilnam rhoek a hlak te hlawt la om saeh saw Pathen aw.
Shall they escape by their iniquity? In thine anger cast down the people, O God!
8 Ka poengdoenah he namah loh tae lamtah, ka mikphi he na tuitang khuiah than lah. Na cabu dongah om pawt nim?
Count thou my wanderings; Put my tears into thy bottle! Are they not recorded in thy book?
9 Te dongah amah te ka khue khohnin kah, ka thunkha rhoek a bal uh nen te, kai ham Pathen om tila ka ming ni.
When I cry to thee, my enemies shall turn back; This I know, that God is for me.
10 Pathen rhang neh olka te ka thangthen. BOEIPA rhang neh olka te ka thangthen.
Through God shall I praise his word; I shall glory in the promise of Jehovah.
11 Pathen dongah ka pangtung dongah ka rhih mahpawh. Hlang loh kai taengah balae a saii thai?
In God do I put my trust; I will not fear: What can man do to me?
12 Aw Pathen, kai sokah na olcaeng ham, nang taengah uemonah neh kan thuung ni.
Thy vows are upon me, O God! I will render praises to thee!
13 Dueknah lamkah ka hinglu nan huul phoeiah, Pathen mikhmuh kah hingnah khosae ah caeh ham ka kho he thuihkoek lamkah han hlawt moenih a?
For thou hast delivered me from death, Yea, my feet from falling, That I may walk before God in the light of the living.
