< Psalm 59 >

1 [Psalm lal David, Tukun Saul el Supwala Mwet in Tawi Lohm sel David tuh elos in Unilya] God luk, moliyula liki mwet lokoalok luk; Langoeyula lukelos su tuyak lainyu!
[For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Do Not Destroy." A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.] Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
2 Moliyula liki mwet koluk inge; Ac langoeyula liki mwet akmas!
Deliver me from evildoers. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3 Liye, elos soano in uniyuwi; Mwet ingunyar elos fahsreni in lainyu. Tia ke sripen oasr ma koluk ku ma sufal luk,
For, look, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, LORD.
4 Oayapa tia ke kutena tafongla luk, LEUM GOD, Pa pwanang elos kasrusr nu yen elos akola in lainyu we.
I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, look, and help me.
5 Tukakek, LEUM GOD Kulana, ac fahsru kasreyu; God lun Israel, sifacna liye! Tukakek ac kai mwet pegan inge; Nik kom pakomuta mwet kutasrik inge!
You, LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. (Selah)
6 Ke ekela elos ac foloko nu in siti uh Ac forfor kou, oana kosro ngalngul uh.
They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
7 Lohng pusren kas in akkoluk ac aksangeng lalos. Lohulos oana cutlass inwalulos, A elos nunku mu wangin mwet lohng pusraclos.
Look, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, "For," they say, "who hears us?"
8 A kom, LEUM GOD, kom isrunulos; Kom aksruksruke mwet pegan nukewa.
But you, LORD, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
9 Nga lulalfongi ke ku lom; Tuh kom nien wikla luk, O God.
Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
10 God luk El lungse nga, ac El ac fah tuku nu yuruk; El ac fah lela tuh nga in liye ke mwet lokoalok luk elos ac kutangyukla.
My God of mercy will come to meet me. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
11 Nikmet onelosi, O God, tuh mwet srahk elos in tia mulkunulosla. A kutangulosla ke ku lom, ac oru elos in fahsrelik. Kom Leum lasr ac mwe loeyuk lasr.
Do not kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, LORD our shield.
12 Ma koluk oan fin ngoasrolos; kas lalos nukewa koluk; Lela tuh elos in sruhu ke filang lalos! Ke sripen elos selnga ac kikiap,
For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
13 Kunauselosla in kasrkusrak lom; Kunauselosla nufon! Na mwet nukewa fah etu lah God El kol Israel, Ac kolyuk lal uh ma pac nu fin faclu nufon.
Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the farthest parts of the earth. (Selah)
14 Mwet lokoalok luk elos foloko ke ekela, Elos wowo oana kosro ngalngul ke elos forfor in siti uh,
At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
15 Oana kosro ngalngul ke elos forfor in suk mongo nalos Ac kou elos fin tia konauk fal nu ke lungse lalos.
They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren't satisfied.
16 Tuh nga ac fah onkakin ku lom; Lotutang nukewa nga ac fah srukak pusrek in on kaksakin lungse kawil lom, Kom nien wikla luk, Sie nien lango luk in pacl in ongoiya.
But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 Nga fah kaksakin kom, mwet kasru luk. God, su lungse nga, El nien wikla luk.
To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
