< Sam 54 >

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na min lahoi na rungngang haw. Na thaonae hoi lawk na ceng pouh haw.
To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
2 Oe Cathut, ka ratoum e heh thai haw. Ka dei e lawk heh na thai pouh haw.
Hear my prayer, O God; give ear 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 oppressors seek after 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] my helper: the LORD [is] with them that uphold my soul.
5 A tawksak awh e thoenae hah ama ni a patho han. Ahnimouh teh na lawkkatang hoi raphoe haw.
He will reward evil to my enemies; cut them off in thy 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 thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; 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 hath delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath seen [its desire] upon my enemies.
