Saam 54

1 Katoeng kruek kaminawk hanah. David ih Maskil. Ziph kaminawk Saul khaeah caeh o moe, Kaicae salakah David anghawk na ai maw? tiah a naa o nathuem ih. Aw Sithaw, na hmin hoiah na pahlong ah, na thacakhaih rang hoiah lok na caek ah.

[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, "Isn't David hiding himself among us?"] Save me, God, by your name. Vindicate me in your might.

2 Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hoi ka thuih ih loknawk hae tahngai ah.

Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

3 Panoek ai ih kaminawk loe kai tuk hanah angthawk o, tahmenhaih tawn ai kaminawk loe, ka hinghaih to pakrong o: nihcae loe Sithaw mikhmai khethaih tawn o ai. (Selah)

For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. (Selah)

4 Khenah, Sithaw loe kai bomkung ah oh: Sithaw loe ka hinghaih patawn kaminawk khaeah oh.

Look, God is my helper. YHWH is the one who sustains my soul.

5 Anih loe ka misanawk to sethaih hoiah lula pathok tih: na loktang lok hoiah nihcae to amrosak ah.

He will repay the evil to my enemies. Destroy them in your truth.

6 Ka koeh ih baktiah nang khaeah angbawnhaih to ka sak han: Aw Angraeng, na hmin pakoehhaih loe hoih pongah, nang to kang pakoeh han.

With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you. I will give thanks to your name, YHWH, for it is good.

7 Ka raihaihnawk boih thung hoiah Ang pahlong pongah, ka misanawk to taahaih mik hoiah ka khet.

For he has delivered me out of all trouble. My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.
