Psalms 54

1 For the leader. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “David is in hiding among us”. Save me, O God, by your name, by your power secure for me justice.

Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na min lahoi na rungngang haw. Na thaonae hoi lawk na ceng pouh haw.

2 Listen, O God, to my prayer, attend 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 proud men have risen against me, and terrible men seek my life, men who do not 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 But see! God is my helper, the Lord is sustaining my life.

Khenhaw! Cathut teh na kabawmkung doeh. BAWIPA teh ka hringnae karingkungnaw koe ao.

5 Let their evil fall back on my foes: cut them off in your faithfulness, Lord.

A tawksak awh e thoenae hah ama ni a patho han. Ahnimouh teh na lawkkatang hoi raphoe haw.

6 Then will I bring you glad sacrifice, praising your gracious name;

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 from all distress you have saved me, and feasted my eyes on my foes.

Kai hah runae phunkuep thung hoi na hlout sak teh, ka tarannaw koe ka phat e hah ka mit ni khei a hmu toe.
