Sam 54

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na min lahoi na rungngang haw. Na thaonae hoi lawk na ceng pouh haw.

Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David, when the Ziphites had arrived and they said to Saul, “Has not David been hidden with us?” Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your virtue.

2 Oe Cathut, ka ratoum e heh thai haw. Ka dei e lawk heh na thai pouh haw.

O God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.

3 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ramlouknaw ni kai taranlahoi a thaw awh teh, rep kacuengroenaw ni thei hanlah a kâcai awh. Cathut minhmai khoeroe khen awh hoeh. (Selah)

For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul. And they have not set God before their eyes.

4 Khenhaw! Cathut teh na kabawmkung doeh. BAWIPA teh ka hringnae karingkungnaw koe ao.

For behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

5 A tawksak awh e thoenae hah ama ni a patho han. Ahnimouh teh na lawkkatang hoi raphoe haw.

Turn back the evils upon my adversaries, and ruin them by your truth.

6 Kai hai lungthocalah hoi nang koe thuengnae ka sak han. Oe BAWIPA, na min teh ka pholen han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh na hawi.

I will freely sacrifice to you, and I will confess your name, O God, because it is good.

7 Kai hah runae phunkuep thung hoi na hlout sak teh, ka tarannaw koe ka phat e hah ka mit ni khei a hmu toe.

For you have quickly rescued me from all tribulation, and my eye has looked down upon my enemies.
