Psalms 57
1 For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saul to the cave. Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in thee: and in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
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 will cry to God most high; the God who has benefited me. (Pause)
Kai aham ang cainaak ak soep sak Khawsa, sawsang soeih Khawsa venawh khy nyng.
3 He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;
Anih ing khan nakawng tyi nawh kai ce ni hul hy, kai anik hquut khqek khqekkhqi ce toel hy.
4 and he has delivered my soul from the midst of [lions']whelps: I lay down to sleep, [though] troubled. [As for] the sons of men, their teeth are arms and [missile] weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.
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 thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above 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 have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it [themselves]. (Pause)
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, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yea will sing psalms.
Kam thin taw cak hy, Aw Bawipa kam thin ce cak hy; tingtoeng tum nawh laa sa vang.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early.
Ka hqingnaak, hqyng lah! Tingtoeng ingkaw qaw tingtoeng nang, hqyng lah! Kai taw mymcang hqit awh hqyng hawh kawng nyng.
9 O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the Gentiles.
Pilnam thlang anglak li awh, Aw Bawipa, nang ce nim kyihcah vang. Thlanghqing lak awh nang ce laa na ni sa vang.
10 For thy mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds.
Ikawtih, na lungnaak taw bau nawh, khan hak pha hy; na ypawmnaak ing khan hak pha hy.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
Aw Khawsa, khan poe voelh dyna hak zoeksang qu lah; na boeimangnaak ve khawmdek boeih ak khan awh awm lah seh.
