Many people are saying about me, “God will [certainly] not help him!”
3 Tusruktu, O LEUM GOD, kom mwe loang luk liki ongoiya in pacl e nukewa. Kom ase nu sik kutangla, Ac akpulaikyeyu.
But Yahweh, you are like a shield [that protects me] [MET]. You greatly honor me, and you encourage me (OR, enable me to triumph over my enemies) [IDM].
4 Nga pang nu sin LEUM GOD tuh elan kasreyu, Ac El topukyu liki eol mutal sel.
I cry out to you, Yahweh, and you answer me from [Zion], your sacred hill.

[At night] I lie down and sleep, and I awake [in the morning feeling good/refreshed] because you, Yahweh, (take care of/protect) me [all during the night].

There may be thousands of [enemy] soldiers who surround me, but I am not afraid.

Yahweh, arise! My God, [come and] rescue me [again]! You [insult] my enemies by slapping them on their cheeks; [when you strike them], you break their teeth, [with the result that they cannot hurt anyone] [MET].
8 Kutangla tuku sin LEUM GOD— Lela tuh Elan akinsewowoye mwet lal.
Yahweh, you are the one who saves your people [from their enemies]. Yahweh, bless your people!
