Psalms 54

1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF THE ZIPHIM, AND THEY SAY TO SAUL, “IS DAVID NOT HIDING HIMSELF WITH US?” O God, save me by Your Name, and judge me by Your might.

Katoeng kruek kaminawk hanah. David ih Maskil. Ziph kaminawk Saul khaeah caeh o moe, Kaicae salakah David anghawk na ai maw? tiah a naa o nathuem ih. Aw Sithaw, na hmin hoiah na pahlong ah, na thacakhaih rang hoiah lok na caek ah.

2 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth,

Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hoi ka thuih ih loknawk hae tahngai ah.

3 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. (Selah)

Panoek ai ih kaminawk loe kai tuk hanah angthawk o, tahmenhaih tawn ai kaminawk loe, ka hinghaih to pakrong o: nihcae loe Sithaw mikhmai khethaih tawn o ai. (Selah)

4 Behold, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those supporting my soul,

Khenah, Sithaw loe kai bomkung ah oh: Sithaw loe ka hinghaih patawn kaminawk khaeah oh.

5 Turn back the evil to my enemies, Cut them off in Your truth.

Anih loe ka misanawk to sethaih hoiah lula pathok tih: na loktang lok hoiah nihcae to amrosak ah.

6 I sacrifice to You with a free-will offering, I thank Your Name, O YHWH, for [it is] good,

Ka koeh ih baktiah nang khaeah angbawnhaih to ka sak han: Aw Angraeng, na hmin pakoehhaih loe hoih pongah, nang to kang pakoeh han.

7 For He delivered me from all adversity, And my eye has looked on my enemies!

Ka raihaihnawk boih thung hoiah Ang pahlong pongah, ka misanawk to taahaih mik hoiah ka khet.
