Psalms 57
1 God, be merciful to me! Act mercifully toward me because I come to you to protect me. I ask you to protect me [like little birds are protected under their mother’s] wings [MET] until the storm/danger is ended.
[Psalm lal David, Tukun el Kaing lukel Saul in Luf se] Pakomutuk, O God, pakomutuk, Tuh nga tuku nu yurum in moulla. Ye lulin poum nga konauk misla Nwe ke pacl se paka lun ma koluk uh wanginla.
2 God, you who are greater than all other gods, I cry out to you, the one who enables me to do all that you desire.
Nga pang nu sin God, El Su Fulatlana, Su ase mwe enenu luk nukewa.
3 You will answer me from heaven and rescue me, but you will cause those who oppress me to be [defeated and] disgraced! (Think about that!) God will [always] faithfully love me and (will be faithful/will do what he promises).
El ac fah topukyu inkusrao me ac moliyula; El ac fah kutangulosla su akkeokyeyu. God El ac fah akkalemye nu sik lungse kawil ac oaru lal.
4 [Sometimes] I am surrounded by [my enemies who are like] lions that [kill] humans; [they are like] lions that chew with their teeth [animals that they kill]; but my enemies have spears and arrows, not teeth; and [the false things that] they say [MTY] [hurt people as much as] sharp swords [hurt people] [MET].
Mwet lokoalok elos rauniyula. Elos oana lion su mongo mwet. Wihselos oana osra in fakfuk ac sukan pisr; Lohulos kosroh oana cutlass.
5 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory to people all over the earth!
O God, akkalemye fulat lom yen engyeng uh, Ac wolana lom fin faclu nufon.
6 [It is as if] [MET, HYP] my enemies spread a net to seize me, and I became very distressed [IDM]. [It is as if] [MET, HYP] they dug a deep pit along the path where I walk, but they themselves fell into it!
Mwet lokoalok luk elos oakiya sie mwe kwasrip in sruokyu; Fosrnga apinyula. Elos pukanak sie luf inkanek luk, Tusruktu elos sifacna putatyang nu loac.
7 God, I have complete confidence [DOU] in you. I will sing to you, and I will praise you while I sing.
Arulana pulaik insiuk, O God; Nga fah on ac kaksakin kom!
8 I will awaken myself; I will arise before the sun rises and [praise you while I play] my harp or my (lyre/small harp).
Ngutalik, O ngunik! Ngutalik, harp ac lyre nutik! Nga ac fah okasak faht uh.
9 Lord, I will thank you among [all] the people; and I will sing to praise you among [many] ethnic groups,
Nga fah sot kulo nu sum, O Leum, inmasrlon mutunfacl uh. Nga fah kaksakin kom inmasrlon mwet uh.
10 because your faithful love for us is [as great as the distance from the earth] to the sky, and because your (faithfulness/faithfully doing what you promise) is [as great as the distance] up to the clouds [MET].
Lungse kawil lom sun inkusrao, Ac oaru lom sun pukunyeng uh.
11 God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory [to people] all over the earth!
O God, akkalemye fulat lom yen engyeng uh, Ac wolana lom fin faclu nufon.
