Psalms 56
1 For the music director. According to “Dove on Distant Oaks.” A psalm (miktam) of David concerning the time the Philistines captured him in Gath. God, please be gracious to me, for people are persecuting me; my attackers fight against me all day long.
Aw Khawsa, nim qeen cang lah, thlak chekhqi ing nik thla khqek khqek unawh; ang qui na ni tuk khqoet khqoet uhy.
2 My enemies chase me down all the time—there are many of them, attacking me in their arrogance.
Kai anik kqawn seetkhqi ing ang loet na ni hquut unawh: thlang khawzah ing oek qu doena kai ni tuk uhy.
3 But when I'm afraid, I trust in you.
Kai ing kak kqih awh, namah ce ni ypna vang.
4 I thank God for his promises. I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
Ak awi kam kyih peek ce, Khawsa ni, Khawsa ni ka ypnaak; ap kqih tikawng. Ak thi thai thlanghqing ing ikaw ani tinaak tang kaw?
5 They constantly twist my words against me; they spend all their time thinking of evil things to do to me.
Myngawi kak awi ni hawi pe unawh; kai tlawh peek aham doeng na ni teng uhy.
6 They gather together in their hiding places to keep watch on me, hoping to kill me.
Ka hqingnaak him aham za qu unawh, ni mah unawh ka khaw kan qym halal uhy.
7 Will they escape when they do so much evil? God, in anger bring these people down!
Cekkhqi ce ikawmyih na awm koeh loet sak khqi; Aw Khawsa, nak kawsonaak ing pilnam thlang zawk sak lah.
8 You've kept track of all my wanderings. You've collected all my tears in your bottle. You've kept a record of each one.
Ka lungnat ve khoem lah; na cak-chawi awh ka mikphli tui ve qee lah - na khoemnaak cauk awh cekkhqi ce ak awm nu?
9 Then those who hate me will run away when I call for your help. For I know this: God is for me!
Qeennaak thoeh doena nang ka nik khy awh ka qaalkhqi ce hlat kawm uh. Cawhtaw Khawsa taw kai a koe ni tice sim hawh kawng nyng.
10 I thank God for his promises. I thank the Lord for his promises.
Ak awi kam kyih peek ce Khawsa, ak awi kam kyihcah peek ce Bawipa ni.
11 I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
Khawsa ce ka ypnaak dawngawh; ap kqih kawng. Thlanghqing ing kai ikaw ani tinaak tang kaw?
12 God, I will keep my promises to you. I will give thank offerings to you,
Aw Khawsa, na venawh awi kam law nyng; ymnaak ik-oeih ce na venawh nawn law kawng.
13 for you have saved me from death and kept me from falling. Now I walk in the presence of God, in the light that gives life.
Ikawtih, thihnaak awhkawng ni loet sak hyk ti, hqing vangnaak Khawsa haaiawh ka cehnaak thai aham ka khaw ve am bah sak hyk ti.
