Tingtoeng 56

1 Aka mawt ham Gath ah Philisti loh amah a khoh vaengkah David kah lakhla olmueh vahui laa Kho hnin takuem kai aka nen la aka nen, hlanghing loh kai n'hloem dongah, Pathen aw kai n'rhen dae.

For the Leader; upon Jonath-elem-rehokim. A Psalm of David; Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God, for man would swallow me up; all the day he fighting oppresseth me.

2 Ka lungawn rhoek loh khohnin takuem n'hloem uh tih, kai he koevoeinah neh aka nen khaw yet.

They that lie in wait for me would swallow me up all the day; for they are many that fight against me, O Most High,

3 Kai loh ka rhih khohnin ah, namah dongla ka pangtung.

In the day that I am afraid, 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.

In God — I will praise His word — in God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto me?

5 Khohnin yung ah kai ol a yakdam uh tih a kopoek boeih khaw kai taengah thae uh.

All the day they trouble mine affairs; 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 mark my steps; according as they have waited for my soul.

7 Amih kah boethae ah na thintoek loh pilnam rhoek a hlak te hlawt la om saeh saw Pathen aw.

Because of iniquity cast them out; in anger bring down the peoples, O God.

8 Ka poengdoenah he namah loh tae lamtah, ka mikphi he na tuitang khuiah than lah. Na cabu dongah om pawt nim?

Thou has counted my wanderings; put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not 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.

Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call; this I know, that God is for me.

10 Pathen rhang neh olka te ka thangthen. BOEIPA rhang neh olka te ka thangthen.

In God — I will praise His word — in the LORD — I will praise His word —

11 Pathen dongah ka pangtung dongah ka rhih mahpawh. Hlang loh kai taengah balae a saii thai?

In God do I trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto 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 thank-offerings unto 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 my soul from death; hast Thou not delivered my feet from stumbling? that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
