< Psalms 56 >

1 [For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands." A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.] Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.
Aka mawt ham Gath ah Philisti loh amah a khoh vaengkah David kah lakhla olmueh vahui laa Kho hnin takuem kai aka nen la aka nen, hlanghing loh kai n'hloem dongah, Pathen aw kai n'rhen dae.
2 My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.
Ka lungawn rhoek loh khohnin takuem n'hloem uh tih, kai he koevoeinah neh aka nen khaw yet.
3 When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.
Kai loh ka rhih khohnin ah, namah dongla ka pangtung.
4 In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Pathen rhang neh amah kah olka te ka thangthen. Pathen dongah ka pangtung tih ka rhih mahpawh. Pumsa loh kai taengah balae a saii thai.
5 All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.
Khohnin yung ah kai ol a yakdam uh tih a kopoek boeih khaw kai taengah thae uh.
6 They conspire and lurk, watching my steps, they are eager to take my life.
Amih loh ka kholaeh te, a dawn a dawn uh tih m'mae uh. Ka hinglu he a lamtawn uh dongah n'tawt uh.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.
Amih kah boethae ah na thintoek loh pilnam rhoek a hlak te hlawt la om saeh saw Pathen aw.
8 You number my wanderings. You put my tears into your bottle. Aren't they in your book?
Ka poengdoenah he namah loh tae lamtah, ka mikphi he na tuitang khuiah than lah. Na cabu dongah om pawt nim?
9 Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this, that God is for me.
Te dongah amah te ka khue khohnin kah, ka thunkha rhoek a bal uh nen te, kai ham Pathen om tila ka ming ni.
10 In God, I will praise his word. In the LORD, I will praise his word.
Pathen rhang neh olka te ka thangthen. BOEIPA rhang neh olka te ka thangthen.
11 I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
Pathen dongah ka pangtung dongah ka rhih mahpawh. Hlang loh kai taengah balae a saii thai?
12 Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.
Aw Pathen, kai sokah na olcaeng ham, nang taengah uemonah neh kan thuung ni.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
Dueknah lamkah ka hinglu nan huul phoeiah, Pathen mikhmuh kah hingnah khosae ah caeh ham ka kho he thuihkoek lamkah han hlawt moenih a?
