Tingtoeng 57
1 Aka mawt ham Saul taeng lamloh lungko khuila a yong vaengkah David kah, “Phae Boeh “Laa Pathen aw kai n'rhen dae, kai n'rhen dae. Ka hinglu loh nang dongah ying tih talnah he a poeng hil, na phae hlip ah ka ying ni.
For the Chief Musician; [set to] Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when he fled from Saul, in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; for my soul taketh refuge in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I take refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast.
2 Kai ham hma aka khap Pathen te Sangkoek Khohni, Pathen la ka khue.
I will cry unto God Most High; unto God that performeth [all things] for me.
3 Vaan lamkah han tueih tih kai n'khang, kai aka hloem khaw a veet. (Selah) Pathen loh a sitlohnah neh a oltak te a tueih.
He shall send from heaven, and save me, [when] he that would swallow me up reproacheth; (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
4 Ka hinglu he hlang capa boeih aka hlawp, sathuengnu rhoek lakli ah ka yalh. A no khaw caai neh thaltang la om tih a lai te cunghang bangla haat.
My soul is among lions; I lie among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
5 Pathen he vaan rhoek soah pomsang pai saeh. Namah kah thangpomnah loh diklai pum khuk thil saeh.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
6 Ka khokan ah lawk a tung uh tih ka hinglu loh duengyai sut. Kai hmai kah a vueh uh rhom khui ah cungku uh. (Selah)
They have prepared a net for my steps; thy soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me; they are fallen into the midst thereof themselves. (Selah)
7 Ka lungbuei cikngae ngawn Pathen aw. Ka lungbuei cikngae neh ka hlai vetih ka tingtoeng ni.
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing, yea, I will sing praises.
8 Ka thangpomnah aw haenghang laeh. Thangpa neh rhotoeng haenghang laeh. Mincang ah haenghang pawn ni.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake right early.
9 Ka Boeipa nang te pilnam rhoek taengah kan uem vetih, namtu rhoek taengah kan tingtoeng ni.
I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the peoples: I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
10 Na sitlohnah loh vaan duela, na uepomnah loh khomong khaw a puet.
For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the skies.
11 Pathen he vaan rhoek boeih soah pomsang pai saeh. Namah kah thangpomnah loh diklai pum khuk thil saeh.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
