For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2 Boethae aka saii rhoek kut lamkah kai n'huul lamtah hlang thii aka haal rhoek kut lamkah kai n'khang lah.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3 Ka hinglu te a rhongngol thil uh coeng ke. Ka boekoek khaw om pawt tih BOEIPA ka tholhnah khaw om pawt dae hlangtlung rhoek loh kai m'mae uh.
For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, LORD.
4 Thaesainah om pawt dae ha yong uh tih tawn uh. Kai aka doe ham long tah haenghang lamtah hmuh lah.
I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!
5 Te dongah namtom boeih te cawh hamla, caempuei Pathen, BOEIPA, Israel Pathen namah mah thoo lamtah boethae neh aka hnukpoh boeih te rhen boeh. (Selah)
You, LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. (Selah)
6 Hlaemhmah ah amih loh ha mael uh tih ui bangla a phit uh doel a khopuei a hil uh.
They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
7 A hmui kah cunghang ke, “Unim aka ya,” tila a ka lamkah ol te a thaa uh van ke?
Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”
8 Tedae BOEIPA nang loh amih te na nueih thil tih namtom boeih ke na tamdaeng.
But you, LORD, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
9 Anih kah sarhi vanbangla, Pathen khaw kai ham imsang la a om dongah namah ni kan rhingda.
Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
10 Kai ham sitlohnah kah sitlohnah Pathen loh kai n'doe ni. Ka lungawn rhoek soah Pathen loh kai n'sawt sak ni.
My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
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, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
12 Thaephoeinah neh laithae a doek uh dongah amamih ka kah tholhnah, amamih hmui kah olka neh amamih kah hoemdamnah dongah man uh saeh.
For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
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)
Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Hlaemhmah ah ha mael uh bal saeh lamtah ui bangla a phit uh doel a khopuei hil uh bal saeh.
At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
15 Amih loh buhtuen la poeng poeng uh tih a hah uh pawt vaengah rhaehba uh sut.
They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren’t 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. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Ka sitlohnah Pathen neh ka imsang Pathen ham tah nang taengah ka sarhi ka tingtoeng.
To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
