La Bu 54

1 O Elohim Pathen thaneitah in hung'in lang neihuhdoh in! Na thahatnan nei veng'in.

For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Is not David hiding himself among us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

2 O Elohim Pathen ka taona ngaijin, ka thumna hi neihin gelkhoh peh'in,

Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Ajeh chu gamdang mite'n eihin delkhum uvin, mi engse ten tha ding'in eihol'un ahi, amahon Elohim Pathen imachan agel pouve.

For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They have not set God before them. (Selah)

4 Ahinlah kei ding'in Elohim Pathen hi eipanpi ahin, Yahweh Pakai hin eihinghoi ahi.

Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

5 Ka galmi ten thilse agon jouse'u hi amaho chunga le chuh hen! Na dei dan tah in achung uva na tong'in lang amaho khu subei in.

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

6 Keiman naheng a kiphal tah in thilpeh hinchoi ing e; Keiman namin hinthang vah ing kate Yahweh Pakai, ajeh chu hichu apha ahi.

With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.

7 Ajeh chu Yahweh Pakai nang'in ka hesohna a kon'in neihuhdoh tan, ka galmite chung'a jong galjona neimusah tan ahi.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
