[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.] Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2 Ka payonnaw koehoi na rungngang haw. Tami kathetnaw kut dawk hoi na rungngang haw.
Deliver me from evildoers. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3 Ahnimouh ni thei hanelah na pawp awh. Athakaawmnaw teh, kai taranlahoi a kamkhueng awh. Oe BAWIPA, ka yonnae hoi kâtapoenae dawk nahoeh.
For, look, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, LORD.
4 Ka payon hoeh e dawk hoi a yawng awh teh, a kâcai awh. Thaw nateh, khenhaw! na kabawm haw.
I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, look, and help me.
5 Hatdawkvah, oe ransahu BAWIPA Cathut, Isarel Cathut, miphun pueng rek hanlah thaw haw, kâtapoe e tamikathoutnaw hah pahren hanh. (Selah)
You, LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. (Selah)
6 Tangmin vah a ban awh teh, khopui a lawngven awh teh, ui patetlah a rauk awh.
They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
7 Ahnimouh teh, dudamnae lawk a dei awh teh, ahnimae pahni dawk tahloi ao teh, apinimouh a thai han aw ati awh.
Look, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?"
8 Hatei, oe BAWIPA, ahnimouh teh na panuikhai han. Miphun pueng teh nang hanlah panui ka tho e lah ao awh.
But you, LORD, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
9 Oe nang, a tha kaawm e, pou na ring han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kânguenae doeh.
Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
10 Lungmakung Cathut ni, na dawn han. Cathut ni ka tarannaw lathueng, ka ngainae a pha sak e hah na hmu sak han.
My God of mercy will come to meet me. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
11 Ahnimouh teh thet hanh. Hoehpawiteh, ka taminaw ni a pahnim payon awh han doeh. Oe BAWIPA, kaie bahling, na thaonae hoi kapek nateh, koung rahnoum sak haw.
Do not kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, LORD our shield.
12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, a pahni dawk hoi a tâco sak e dei payonnae lawk kecu dawkvah, a kâoupnae dawk kâman awh naseh. Thoebonae hoi laithoe a dei awh.
For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
13 Lungkhuek laihoi kahmat sak haw. Hahoi Cathut ni Jakop lathueng vah, lawk a ceng tie hah talai poutnae koe totouh panuek awh naseh.
Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the farthest parts of the earth. (Selah)
14 Tangmin lah ban awh naseh. Ui patetlah rauk laihoi khopui hah lawngven awh naseh.
At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
15 Ca hane rawca a tawng awh teh, a von a paha hoehroukrak a rauk awh.
They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren't satisfied.
16 Hatei, na thaonae hah la hoi ka sak han. Amom vah na lungmanae hah, kacaipounglah la hoi ka sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh ka kânguenae hoi lungpout navah, ka yawngnae lah na o.
But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Oe ka thaonae, nang koe pholennae la ka sak han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh ka kânguenae lah ao teh, lungmakung Cathut lah ao.
To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
