Psalm 56

1 [Psalm lal David, Tukun Mwet Philistia Sruokol in acn Gath] Pakomutuk, O God, Tuh mwet lokoalok luk elos ukweyu, Elos kalyeiyu in pacl e nukewa.

For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresseth me.

2 Mwet su srungayu elos lainyu len fon; Arulana pus mwet anwuk lainyu inge.

Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me.

3 Ke pacl nga pula sangeng, O LEUM GOD Kulana, Nga filiya lulalfongi luk in kom.

What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.

4 Nga lulalfongi God, ac tiana sangeng; Nga kaksakunul ke wulela lal nu sik. Mea mwet ac ku in oru nu sik?

In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me?

5 Mwet lokoalok luk aklokoalokyeyu ke len fon; Pacl nukewa elos suk na ma in akkolukyeyu!

All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 Elos tukeni ke nien wikwik Ac tawi ma nukewa nga oru, Ac kena uniyuwi.

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.

7 Kaelos, O God, ke ma koluk lalos inge; Ac kutangulosla in kasrkusrak lom!

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

8 Kom etu lupan fosrnga luk; Kom etu lupan tung luk. Ya ma inge tia simla in book nutum?

Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?

9 Ke len se nga pang nu sum uh, Mwet lokoalok luk elos ac folokelik likiyu. Ma se na nga etu uh pa God El wiyu —

Then shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: This I know, that God is for me.

10 Aok, LEUM GOD su nga kaksakin wulela la.

In God (I will praise [his] word), In Jehovah (I will praise [his] word),

11 Nga lulalfongi in El, ac nga ac fah tiana sangeng. Mea mwet ac ku in oru nu sik?

In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?

12 O God, nga ac fah asot nu sum ma su nga wulela kac; Nga ac fah oru mwe kisa in fahkak kulo luk nu sum,

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank-offerings unto thee.

13 Mweyen kom moliyula liki misa Ac sruokyuwi tuh in tia kutangyukla nga. Inge nga fahsr ye mutun God Ke kalem su sang moul nu sin mwet uh.

For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [Hast thou] not [delivered] my feet from falling, That I may walk before God In the light of the living?
