Psalms 57
1 To the Overseer. — 'Destroy not.' — A secret treasure of David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass over.
Aw Khawsa, nim qeen lah, nim qeen lah, kawtih nang awh ni ka hqingnaak ang thuk. Plawcinaak ang khum hlan dy nang hlak khuiawh thuk vang nyng.
2 I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me.
Kai aham ang cainaak ak soep sak Khawsa, sawsang soeih Khawsa venawh khy nyng.
3 He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me, He reproached — who is panting after me. (Selah) God sendeth forth His kindness and His truth.
Anih ing khan nakawng tyi nawh kai ce ni hul hy, kai anik hquut khqek khqekkhqi ce toel hy.
4 My soul [is] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among] flames — sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.
Kai taw samthyyn anglak li awh awm nyng saw; qamsak tlung anglakawh zaih nyng – ce thlangkhqi a ha taw ak hqat soeih zawzi na awm hy.
5 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, Above all the earth Thine honour.
Aw Khawsa, khan poeng voelh dyna hak zoeksang qu lah; na boeimangnaak ve khawmdek boeih ak khan awh awm lah seh.
6 A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into its midst. (Selah)
Ka khaw ang awhnaak aham lawk zan law unawh kawboet doena ngam hqoeng nyng. Ka cehnaak lam awh lawk-kqawng co law hlai hy – a mimah ce lawk-kqawng awh tla lat uhy.
7 Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing and praise.
Kam thin taw cak hy, Aw Bawipa kam thin ce cak hy; tingtoeng tum nawh laa sa vang.
8 Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the morning dawn.
Ka hqingnaak, hqyng lah! Tingtoeng ingkaw qaw tingtoeng nang, hqyng lah! Kai taw mymcang hqit awh hqyng hawh kawng nyng.
9 I thank Thee among the peoples, O Lord, I praise Thee among the nations.
Pilnam thlang anglak li awh, Aw Bawipa, nang ce nim kyihcah vang. Thlanghqing lak awh nang ce laa na ni sa vang.
10 For great unto the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the clouds Thy truth.
Ikawtih, na lungnaak taw bau nawh, khan hak pha hy; na ypawmnaak ing khan hak pha hy.
11 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God. Above all the earth Thine honour!
Aw Khawsa, khan poe voelh dyna hak zoeksang qu lah; na boeimangnaak ve khawmdek boeih ak khan awh awm lah seh.
