La Bu 56
1 O Pathen, na mi khotonan neipui jing’in, ajeh chu mipite’n eidel jing’uvin eidouhon nilhumkei kei’in eidelkhum jing’un ahi.
For the music director. According to “Dove on Distant Oaks.” A psalm (miktam) of David concerning the time the Philistines captured him in Gath. God, please be gracious to me, for people are persecuting me; my attackers fight against me all day long.
2 Eihousehon jong phattin in eidel jing’un chuleh mitamtah’in eidelkhum jing’un ahi.
My enemies chase me down all the time—there are many of them, attacking me in their arrogance.
3 Ahinlah ka kichat teng nangma tahsanna a chun ka lut ji tan ahi.
But when I'm afraid, I trust in you.
4 Aman kahenga kitepna aneij jeh’in Pakai chu ka thangvah e. Pathen tahsana a ka dindet jingle kei ipi ding’a ka kichat ding ham? Mihem mai mai in i eilo thei ding ham?
I thank God for his promises. I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
5 Amahon ka thusei jouse ahilou lam in alao vin; kei suhsetna ding’in anikho ho’u jong amang jing ui.
They constantly twist my words against me; they spend all their time thinking of evil things to do to me.
6 Amaho ahung’un eihung velhi’uvin, keima eithatheina diuvin ka chaloh ka sinsah avelhi jing’un ahi.
They gather together in their hiding places to keep watch on me, hoping to kill me.
7 Achonset pum’un jammang sah hihbeh in; na lungsah na achun O Pakai amaho chu sumang jeng’in.
Will they escape when they do so much evil? God, in anger bring these people down!
8 Nang’in ka thoh gimna neihetpeh jingnan ahi, nang’in ka lengvaina mitlhi hi khon a nakhol khom in, chuleh khatcheh hi na lekhabu’a najihlut e.
You've kept track of all my wanderings. You've collected all my tears in your bottle. You've kept a record of each one.
9 Keiman nangma eikithopi ding’a ka kou tengleh ka galmite jamming taovin te. Hijeh’a chu keiman Pathen hi keima lang’a pang ahi ti ka het jingna ahi!
Then those who hate me will run away when I call for your help. For I know this: God is for me!
10 Pathen’in kakoma kitep na anei jeh in keiman Pathen ka thangvah e; henge, Pathen in kahinga kitepna anei jeh in Pakai ka thangvah ahi.
I thank God for his promises. I thank the Lord for his promises.
11 Keiman Pathen ka tahsanna a hi ka din jingle ipi ding’a ka kichat ding ham? Mihem mai mai hon i eilo di’u ham?
I trust in God, so why should I be fearful? What can mere human beings do to me?
12 O Pathen nang kom’a ka kitepna keiman subulhit ingting chutengleh kilhaina in thangvahna peng ka te.
God, I will keep my promises to you. I will give thank offerings to you,
13 Ajeh chu nang’in ka thina ding’a kon’in neihuhdoh tan kakiselhuh louna din nang ka keng neituh peh tai. Hijeh chun O Pathen tunna angsung hinna vah napeh na mun a chun hung lut thei tange.
for you have saved me from death and kept me from falling. Now I walk in the presence of God, in the light that gives life.
