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 end, among Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.

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

O God, hear my prayer; hearken 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, and mighty men have sought my life: they have not set God before them. (Pause)

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

For lo! God assists me; and the Lord is the helper of my soul.

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

He shall return evil to mine enemies; utterly destroy them in thy truth.

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

I will willingly sacrifice to thee: I will give thanks to thy 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 thou hast delivered me out of all affliction, and mine eye has seen [my desire] upon mine enemies.
