< Psalms 54 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na min lahoi na rungngang haw. Na thaonae hoi lawk na ceng pouh haw.
2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen 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. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)
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 Look, God is my helper. YHWH is the one who sustains my soul.
Khenhaw! Cathut teh na kabawmkung doeh. BAWIPA teh ka hringnae karingkungnaw koe ao.
5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.
A tawksak awh e thoenae hah ama ni a patho han. Ahnimouh teh na lawkkatang hoi raphoe haw.
6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, YHWH, for 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 he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over 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.
