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 you: and in the shadow of your wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
Kathutkung: Devit, Sawl koehoi lungngoum dawk a yawng navah, a sak e la Na pahren haw, Oe Cathut, na pahren haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae ni na kâuep. Hete yawthoenae heh a baw hoehroukrak na rathei tâhlip dawk ka kâhro han.
2 I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefitted me. (Pause)
Lathueng Poung Cathut, bangpuengpa na kasakpouhkung, ka Cathut teh na kaw han.
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;
Kalvan hoi a patoun vaiteh, na rungngang han, payawp hanlah kakâcainaw hah a yue han. (Selah)
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.
Cathut ni lungmanae hoi lawkkatang hah a patoun han. Ka hringnae heh sendek um doeh ao. Lungkhueknae hmai ka kang lahun e taminaw um vah ka i. Ahnimae hânaw teh tahroe hoi palanaw patetlah ao awh. Ahnimae lai hai kahran e tahloinaw patetlah ao awh.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
Oe Cathut, kalvannaw lathueng vah, pholen lah awm haw. Na bawilennae teh talai van pueng awm lawiseh.
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 khok hanlah, tamlawk a yangda awh teh, ka hringnae teh a tabut. Ka hmalah tangkom a tai awh. Hatei, a lungui vah amamouh letlang a bo awh. (Selah)
7 My heart, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yes will sing psalms.
Ka lungthin teh a cak doeh, Oe Cathut, ka lungthin teh a cak doeh, pholennae hoi la ka sak han.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will awake early.
Ka bawilennae kâhlaw haw, ratoung hoi tamawinaw kâhlaw awh haw. Kai ni teh kho ka dai khai han.
9 O Lord, I will give thanks to you amongst the nations: I will sing to you amongst the Gentiles.
Oe BAWIPA, tamimaya koe na pholen han. Miphun pueng koe nang pholen hoi la ka sak han.
10 For your mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, na lungmanae ni kalvan a pha teh, na lawkkatang ni tâmai a pha.
11 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
Oe Cathut, kalvan vah pholen lah awm naseh, na bawilennae teh talai van pueng awm lawiseh.
