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 chief musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A psalm of David. A michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for men are attacking me! All the day long those who fight me press their assault.
2 Ka lungawn rhoek loh khohnin takuem n'hloem uh tih, kai he koevoeinah neh aka nen khaw yet.
My enemies trample me all day long; for there are many who arrogantly fight against me.
3 Kai loh ka rhih khohnin ah, namah dongla ka pangtung.
When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
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, whose word I praise— in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid; what can mere man do to me?
5 Khohnin yung ah kai ol a yakdam uh tih a kopoek boeih khaw kai taengah thae uh.
All the day long they twist 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, and they mark my steps, just as they have waited for my life.
7 Amih kah boethae ah na thintoek loh pilnam rhoek a hlak te hlawt la om saeh saw Pathen aw.
Do not let them escape doing iniquity. Bring down the peoples in your anger, God.
8 Ka poengdoenah he namah loh tae lamtah, ka mikphi he na tuitang khuiah than lah. Na cabu dongah om pawt nim?
You number my wanderings and put my tears into your bottle; are they not in your 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 my enemies will turn back on the day that I call to you; 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—whose word I praise, in Yahweh—whose word I praise,
11 Pathen dongah ka pangtung dongah ka rhih mahpawh. Hlang loh kai taengah balae a saii thai?
in God I trust, I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?
12 Aw Pathen, kai sokah na olcaeng ham, nang taengah uemonah neh kan thuung ni.
The duty to fulfill my vows to you is on me, God; I will give thank offerings to you.
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 you have rescued my life from death; you have kept my feet from falling, so that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
