Sam 54

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

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.

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

O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings 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 terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

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

Behold, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

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

Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in 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 sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [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 He delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!
