Psalms 57
1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.
Aw Khawsa, nim qeen lah, nim qeen lah, kawtih nang awh ni ka hqingnaak ang thuk. Plawcinaak ang khum hlan dy nang hlak khuiawh thuk vang nyng.
2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
Kai aham ang cainaak ak soep sak Khawsa, sawsang soeih Khawsa venawh khy nyng.
3 He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. (Selah) God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.
Anih ing khan nakawng tyi nawh kai ce ni hul hy, kai anik hquut khqek khqekkhqi ce toel hy.
4 My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
Kai taw samthyyn anglak li awh awm nyng saw; qamsak tlung anglakawh zaih nyng – ce thlangkhqi a ha taw ak hqat soeih zawzi na awm hy.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
Aw Khawsa, khan poeng voelh dyna hak zoeksang qu lah; na boeimangnaak ve khawmdek boeih ak khan awh awm lah seh.
6 They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it!
Ka khaw ang awhnaak aham lawk zan law unawh kawboet doena ngam hqoeng nyng. Ka cehnaak lam awh lawk-kqawng co law hlai hy – a mimah ce lawk-kqawng awh tla lat uhy.
7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
Kam thin taw cak hy, Aw Bawipa kam thin ce cak hy; tingtoeng tum nawh laa sa vang.
8 Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
Ka hqingnaak, hqyng lah! Tingtoeng ingkaw qaw tingtoeng nang, hqyng lah! Kai taw mymcang hqit awh hqyng hawh kawng nyng.
9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
Pilnam thlang anglak li awh, Aw Bawipa, nang ce nim kyihcah vang. Thlanghqing lak awh nang ce laa na ni sa vang.
10 For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
Ikawtih, na lungnaak taw bau nawh, khan hak pha hy; na ypawmnaak ing khan hak pha hy.
11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
Aw Khawsa, khan poe voelh dyna hak zoeksang qu lah; na boeimangnaak ve khawmdek boeih ak khan awh awm lah seh.
