Psalms 54

1 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.

[Rhotoeng neh aka mawt ham, “Ziphim loh Saul taengla cet tih kaimih taengah David a thuh moenih, a ti nah vaengkah, David hlohlai] Aw Pathen na ming neh kai n'khang lamtah, na thayung thamal neh kai n'tang sak.

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

Aw Pathen, ka thangthuinah he ya lamtah, ka ka lamkah ol he hnatun lah.

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

Hlanglak rhoek kai taengah tlai uh tih, hlanghaeng neh a hmai kah Pathen te, a nawtna uh kolla ka hinglu a mae uh. (Selah)

4 Behold, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

Kai he Pathen loh m'bom tih, ka hinglu aka talong rhoek taengah ka Boeipa om ke.

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

Ka lungawn rhoek soah a thae neh thuung rhoe thuung lamtah, na oltak neh amih te biit lah.

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

Na taengah kothoh te, kan nawn saeh lamtah na then dongah BOEIPA nang ming te ka uem eh.

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

Citcai cungkuem lamkah kai n'huul tih, ka thunkha rhoek te ka mik loh a sawt.
