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 amongst us?” Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

Katoeng kruek kaminawk hanah. David ih Maskil. Ziph kaminawk Saul khaeah caeh o moe, Kaicae salakah David anghawk na ai maw? tiah a naa o nathuem ih. Aw Sithaw, na hmin hoiah na pahlong ah, na thacakhaih rang hoiah lok na caek ah.

2 Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hoi ka thuih ih loknawk hae tahngai ah.

3 For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them. (Selah)

Panoek ai ih kaminawk loe kai tuk hanah angthawk o, tahmenhaih tawn ai kaminawk loe, ka hinghaih to pakrong o: nihcae loe Sithaw mikhmai khethaih tawn o ai. (Selah)

4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

Khenah, Sithaw loe kai bomkung ah oh: Sithaw loe ka hinghaih patawn kaminawk khaeah oh.

5 He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

Anih loe ka misanawk to sethaih hoiah lula pathok tih: na loktang lok hoiah nihcae to amrosak ah.

6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, LORD, for it is good.

Ka koeh ih baktiah nang khaeah angbawnhaih to ka sak han: Aw Angraeng, na hmin pakoehhaih loe hoih pongah, nang to kang pakoeh han.

7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

Ka raihaihnawk boih thung hoiah Ang pahlong pongah, ka misanawk to taahaih mik hoiah ka khet.
