1 O Elohim Pathen thaneitah in hung'in lang neihuhdoh in! Na thahatnan nei veng'in.
For the leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, ‘David is in hiding among us’. Save me, O God, by your name, by your power secure for me justice.
2 O Elohim Pathen ka taona ngaijin, ka thumna hi neihin gelkhoh peh'in,
Listen, O God, to my prayer, attend 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 proud men have risen against me, and terrible men seek my life, men who do not set God before them. (Selah)
4 Ahinlah kei ding'in Elohim Pathen hi eipanpi ahin, Yahweh Pakai hin eihinghoi ahi.
But see! God is my helper, the Lord is sustaining my life.
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.
Let their evil fall back on my foes: cut them off in your faithfulness, Lord.
6 Keiman naheng a kiphal tah in thilpeh hinchoi ing e; Keiman namin hinthang vah ing kate Yahweh Pakai, ajeh chu hichu apha ahi.
Then will I bring you glad sacrifice, praising your gracious name;
7 Ajeh chu Yahweh Pakai nang'in ka hesohna a kon'in neihuhdoh tan, ka galmite chung'a jong galjona neimusah tan ahi.
for from all distress you have saved me, and feasted my eyes on my foes.
