Psalms 56
1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresses me,
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Anih mah oih ih bungmu loe, angthla parai oak thing pong ih pahuu baktiah oh. Gath ah Philistin kaminawk mah David naeh o naah David ih miktam. Aw Sithaw, na tahmen ah, kaminawk loe kai caak hanah, ni thokkruek ang pacaekthlaek o.
2 My enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O Most High,
Aw Kasang koek, ka misanawk mah kai caak hanah, ni thokkruek ang tuk o; nihcae loe paroeai pop o.
3 [In] the day I am afraid I am confident toward You.
Zithaih hoi ka oh naah, nang khaeah ka buep han.
4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I do not fear what flesh does to me.
A lok to ka pakoeh han, Sithaw ka oep pongah ka zii mak ai, kami mah kawbangmaw na naa thai tih?
5 All the day they wrest my words, All their thoughts [are] for evil concerning me,
Nihcae loe ni thokkruek ka loknawk to tamet o, ka nuiah kahoih ai poekhaih a tawnh o.
6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.
Nihcae mah ka hinghaih tamit hanah angang o naah, nawnto amkhueng o, anghawk o moe, ka caehhaih khok tangkan to khet parui o.
7 They escape by iniquity, In anger put down the peoples, O God.
Nihcae loe sakpazaehaih hoiah loih o tih maw? Aw Sithaw, palung na phuihaih hoiah to kaminawk to amtimsak ah.
8 You have counted my wandering, You place my tear in Your bottle, Are they not in Your scroll?
Ahmuen kruekah kam hethaih to na poek paeh loe, ka mikkhraetuinawk hae nangmah ih pailang thungah na khrum paeh: to mikkhraetuinawk loe na cabu thungah oh na ai maw?
9 Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.
Sithaw kai khaeah oh pongah, kang kawk naah, ka misanawk loe hnukbangah angnawn o tih, tiah ka panoek.
10 In God I praise the word, In YHWH I praise the word.
Sithaw oephaih hoiah a lok to ka pakoeh han; Sithaw oephaih hoiah a lok to ka pakoeh han.
11 In God I trusted, I do not fear what man does to me,
Sithaw ka oep pongah ka zii mak ai; kami mah kawbangmaw na naa thai tih?
12 On me, O God, [are] Your vows, I repay thank-offerings to You.
Aw Sithaw, na hmaa ah lokmaihaih ka sak baktih toengah; nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Do You not [keep] my feet from falling? To habitually walk before God in the light of the living!
Tipongah tih nahaeloe duekhaih thung hoiah nang loisak boeh; Sithaw hmaa ah ka hing kaminawk ih aanghaih hoiah ka caeh thai hanah, ka khok hae nam thaeksak ai.
