Psalms 56
1 God, be merciful to me because men have harassed me; all day my enemies pursue 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 harass me all day long; there are many of them who proudly attack me.
Aw Kasang koek, ka misanawk mah kai caak hanah, ni thokkruek ang tuk o; nihcae loe paroeai pop o.
3 But whenever I am afraid, I trust in you.
Zithaih hoi ka oh naah, nang khaeah ka buep han.
4 God, I praise/thank you because you do what you have promised; I trust in you, and then I am not afraid. Ordinary humans certainly cannot [RHQ] harm me!
A lok to ka pakoeh han, Sithaw ka oep pongah ka zii mak ai, kami mah kawbangmaw na naa thai tih?
5 All day long my enemies claim that I said things that I did not say (OR, try to destroy what I am doing); they are always thinking of ways to harm me.
Nihcae loe ni thokkruek ka loknawk to tamet o, ka nuiah kahoih ai poekhaih a tawnh o.
6 In order to cause trouble for me, they hide and watch everything that I do, waiting for [an opportunity] to kill me [MTY].
Nihcae mah ka hinghaih tamit hanah angang o naah, nawnto amkhueng o, anghawk o moe, ka caehhaih khok tangkan to khet parui o.
7 So, God, punish them for the wicked things that they are doing; show that you are angry by defeating those people!
Nihcae loe sakpazaehaih hoiah loih o tih maw? Aw Sithaw, palung na phuihaih hoiah to kaminawk to amtimsak ah.
8 You have counted [all] the times that I have been wandering alone/distressed; [it is as though] you have put [all] my tears in a bottle [in order that you can see how much I have cried]. [You have counted my tears and written] the number in your book.
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 When I call out to you, [my] God, my enemies will be defeated; I know that will happen, because you are fighting for me.
Sithaw kai khaeah oh pongah, kang kawk naah, ka misanawk loe hnukbangah angnawn o tih, tiah ka panoek.
10 I praise/thank you that you do what you have promised; Yahweh, I [will always] praise you for that [DOU].
Sithaw oephaih hoiah a lok to ka pakoeh han; Sithaw oephaih hoiah a lok to ka pakoeh han.
11 I trust in you, and as a result, I will not be afraid. I know that humans cannot really [RHQ] harm me!
Sithaw ka oep pongah ka zii mak ai; kami mah kawbangmaw na naa thai tih?
12 I will bring to you the offering that I promised; I will bring an offering to you to thank you,
Aw Sithaw, na hmaa ah lokmaihaih ka sak baktih toengah; nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
13 because you have rescued me from being killed; you have kept me from stumbling. As a result, I will continue to live in your presence in the light that [shines on those who are still] alive (OR, in the light that [enables people to] live).
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.
