< Psalms 54 >
1 Unto the end, In verses, understanding for David. When the men of Ziph had come and said to Saul: Is not David hidden with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me in thy strength.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na min lahoi na rungngang haw. Na thaonae hoi lawk na ceng pouh haw.
2 O God, hear my prayer: give ear to the words of my mouth.
Oe Cathut, ka ratoum e heh thai haw. Ka dei e lawk heh na thai pouh haw.
3 For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: and they have not set God before their eyes.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ramlouknaw ni kai taranlahoi a thaw awh teh, rep kacuengroenaw ni thei hanlah a kâcai awh. Cathut minhmai khoeroe khen awh hoeh. (Selah)
4 For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
Khenhaw! Cathut teh na kabawmkung doeh. BAWIPA teh ka hringnae karingkungnaw koe ao.
5 Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in thy truth.
A tawksak awh e thoenae hah ama ni a patho han. Ahnimouh teh na lawkkatang hoi raphoe haw.
6 I will freely sacrifice to thee, and will give praise, O God, to thy name: because it is good:
Kai hai lungthocalah hoi nang koe thuengnae ka sak han. Oe BAWIPA, na min teh ka pholen han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh na hawi.
7 For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.
Kai hah runae phunkuep thung hoi na hlout sak teh, ka tarannaw koe ka phat e hah ka mit ni khei a hmu toe.
