Psalms 56

1 To the Overseer. — 'On the Dumb Dove far off.' — A secret treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresseth me,

Aw Khawsa, nim qeen cang lah, thlak chekhqi ing nik thla khqek khqek unawh; ang qui na ni tuk khqoet khqoet uhy.

2 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,

Kai anik kqawn seetkhqi ing ang loet na ni hquut unawh: thlang khawzah ing oek qu doena kai ni tuk uhy.

3 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.

Kai ing kak kqih awh, namah ce ni ypna vang.

4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.

Ak awi kam kyih peek ce, Khawsa ni, Khawsa ni ka ypnaak; ap kqih tikawng. Ak thi thai thlanghqing ing ikaw ani tinaak tang kaw?

5 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,

Myngawi kak awi ni hawi pe unawh; kai tlawh peek aham doeng na ni teng uhy.

6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

Ka hqingnaak him aham za qu unawh, ni mah unawh ka khaw kan qym halal uhy.

7 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.

Cekkhqi ce ikawmyih na awm koeh loet sak khqi; Aw Khawsa, nak kawsonaak ing pilnam thlang zawk sak lah.

8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou — place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?

Ka lungnat ve khoem lah; na cak-chawi awh ka mikphli tui ve qee lah - na khoemnaak cauk awh cekkhqi ce ak awm nu?

9 Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

Qeennaak thoeh doena nang ka nik khy awh ka qaalkhqi ce hlat kawm uh. Cawhtaw Khawsa taw kai a koe ni tice sim hawh kawng nyng.

10 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.

Ak awi kam kyih peek ce Khawsa, ak awi kam kyihcah peek ce Bawipa ni.

11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,

Khawsa ce ka ypnaak dawngawh; ap kqih kawng. Thlanghqing ing kai ikaw ani tinaak tang kaw?

12 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.

Aw Khawsa, na venawh awi kam law nyng; ymnaak ik-oeih ce na venawh nawn law kawng.

13 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the light of the living!

Ikawtih, thihnaak awhkawng ni loet sak hyk ti, hqing vangnaak Khawsa haaiawh ka cehnaak thai aham ka khaw ve am bah sak hyk ti.
