Psalms 56
1 To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.
Kathutkung: Devit, Devit teh Gath kho vah, Filistin kut dawk a pha nah a sak e la Oe Cathut, kai na pahren haw. Taminaw ni padoun hanelah hnintangkuem na tuk teh, na rektap awh.
2 Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.
Ka tarannaw ni hnintangkuem na kaven awh. Oe Lathueng Poung, na ka tarannaw teh apap poung.
3 In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.
Ka lung a puen toteh, nang na kâuep han.
4 In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?
Cathut dawk (a lawk ka pholen han), Cathut ka kâuep dawkvah, taki han awm hoeh. Tami ni kai dawk bangmouh a sak thai han.
5 All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
Ahnimouh teh kaie lawk hah hnintangkuem alouklah a pouk awh. Kai dawk kahawihoehe pouknae dueng doeh a pouk awh.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.
Kai thei hanelah a kâcai awh teh, cungtalah a kamkhueng awh teh, ka khokhnuk hah mitnout a ta awh.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.
Ahnimouh teh a payonnae dawk hoi a hlout awh han namaw. Oe Cathut, na lungkhuek nateh, ahnimanaw hah koung pâlei haw.
8 Thou countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
Ka kâvanae hah na touk teh, tuium dawk ka mitphi hah na ta. Na cauk dawk ao nahoehmaw.
9 Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for God is for me.
Nang koe ka hram toteh, ka tarannaw koung a yawng awh han. Hetheh ka panue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kaie doeh.
10 In God will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.
Cathut dawk (a lawk hah ka pholen han), BAWIPA dawk (a lawk hah ka pholen han).
11 In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
Cathut ka kâuep dawkvah, ka taket mahoeh. Tami ni kai dawk bangmouh a sak thai han.
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee.
Oe Cathut, nang koe ka lawkkamnae ni na katek teh, nang koevah, pholennae ka dei han.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae heh duenae thung hoi na rungngang. Kahringnaw e angnae rahim vah, Cathut hmalah ka pai thai na han, ka khok kamthui hoeh nahan, na rungngang toe nahoehmaw.
