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,
Kathutkung: Devit, Devit teh Gath kho vah, Filistin kut dawk a pha nah a sak e la Oe Cathut, kai na pahren haw. Taminaw ni padoun hanelah hnintangkuem na tuk teh, na rektap awh.
2 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O most High,
Ka tarannaw ni hnintangkuem na kaven awh. Oe Lathueng Poung, na ka tarannaw teh apap poung.
3 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee.
Ka lung a puen toteh, nang na kâuep han.
4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not what flesh doth to me.
Cathut dawk (a lawk ka pholen han), Cathut ka kâuep dawkvah, taki han awm hoeh. Tami ni kai dawk bangmouh a sak thai han.
5 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their thoughts [are] for evil,
Ahnimouh teh kaie lawk hah hnintangkuem alouklah a pouk awh. Kai dawk kahawihoehe pouknae dueng doeh a pouk awh.
6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.
Kai thei hanelah a kâcai awh teh, cungtalah a kamkhueng awh teh, ka khokhnuk hah mitnout a ta awh.
7 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O God.
Ahnimouh teh a payonnae dawk hoi a hlout awh han namaw. Oe Cathut, na lungkhuek nateh, ahnimanaw hah koung pâlei haw.
8 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou — place Thou my tear in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book?
Ka kâvanae hah na touk teh, tuium dawk ka mitphi hah na ta. Na cauk dawk ao nahoehmaw.
9 Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.
Nang koe ka hram toteh, ka tarannaw koung a yawng awh han. Hetheh ka panue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut teh kaie doeh.
10 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word.
Cathut dawk (a lawk hah ka pholen han), BAWIPA dawk (a lawk hah ka pholen han).
11 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me,
Cathut ka kâuep dawkvah, ka taket mahoeh. Tami ni kai dawk bangmouh a sak thai han.
12 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to Thee.
Oe Cathut, nang koe ka lawkkamnae ni na katek teh, nang koevah, pholennae ka dei han.
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!
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka hringnae heh duenae thung hoi na rungngang. Kahringnaw e angnae rahim vah, Cathut hmalah ka pai thai na han, ka khok kamthui hoeh nahan, na rungngang toe nahoehmaw.
