For the music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David, concerning the time Saul sent out soldiers to watch David's house in order to kill him. Rescue me from my enemies, God! Protect me from those who are attacking me!
2 Boethae aka saii rhoek kut lamkah kai n'huul lamtah hlang thii aka haal rhoek kut lamkah kai n'khang lah.
Rescue me from these evil people! Save me from these murderers!

See how they're lying in wait to kill me! Powerful men are gathered against me, Lord, even though I have not sinned or done anything wrong.
4 Thaesainah om pawt dae ha yong uh tih tawn uh. Kai aka doe ham long tah haenghang lamtah hmuh lah.
Even though I'm not guilty they hurry to prepare an attack on me. Please stand up, come and help me, and see what's going on.

You are God, the Lord Almighty, God of Israel. Stand up, and punish all the nations. Don't have any mercy on these evil traitors. (Selah)
6 Hlaemhmah ah amih loh ha mael uh tih ui bangla a phit uh doel a khopuei a hil uh.
In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
7 A hmui kah cunghang ke, “Unim aka ya,” tila a ka lamkah ol te a thaa uh van ke?
See what evil talk comes pouring out of their mouths! Words sharp as swords, for they say to themselves, “Who can hear us?”
8 Tedae BOEIPA nang loh amih te na nueih thil tih namtom boeih ke na tamdaeng.
But you, Lord, you laugh at them; you pour scorn on all the nations.
9 Anih kah sarhi vanbangla, Pathen khaw kai ham imsang la a om dongah namah ni kan rhingda.
You are my strength! I will look to you, God, for you are the one who protects me.
10 Kai ham sitlohnah kah sitlohnah Pathen loh kai n'doe ni. Ka lungawn rhoek soah Pathen loh kai n'sawt sak ni.
In his trustworthy love, God will come and save me. He will show me how my enemies are defeated.
11 Amih te ngawn boel mai, ka pilnam te hnilh ve. Ka Boeipa, kaimih kah photling aw, na thadueng neh amih te poengdoe sak lamtah suntlak sak.
Don't kill them right away, otherwise my people will quickly forget what you have done. By your power make them stagger around and then fall down, Lord our protection.
12 Thaephoeinah neh laithae a doek uh dongah amamih ka kah tholhnah, amamih hmui kah olka neh amamih kah hoemdamnah dongah man uh saeh.
Let them be caught out by the evil things they say, the words they proudly speak—brought down by their curses and the lies they tell!
13 Amih te kosi dongah muei muei tih a milh daengah ni Jakob neh diklai a bawt duela aka taemrhai he Pathen ni tila aming uh eh. (Selah)
Destroy them in your anger! Destroy them completely! Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel!

In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
15 Amih loh buhtuen la poeng poeng uh tih a hah uh pawt vaengah rhaehba uh sut.
They wander around, looking for things to eat, and howl when they're not satisfied.
16 Tedae kai tah, na sarhi te ka hlai vetih, namah te kai ham imsang neh kai taengkah puencak tue vaengah thuhaelnah la na om dongah, na sitlohnah khaw mincang ah ka tamhoe puei ni.
But I will sing of your strength; in the morning I will sing for joy about your trustworthy love. For you have been my protection; my place of safety in my time of trouble.
17 Ka sitlohnah Pathen neh ka imsang Pathen ham tah nang taengah ka sarhi ka tingtoeng.
You are my strength, I sing praises to you, for you are the one who protects me—the God who shows me his trustworthy love!
