1{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?} O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.
1Pathian aw, na minin honhondam inla, na hatna in vai honhawm sakin.
2O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.
2Pathian aw, ka thumna ngaikhia inla; ka kama thu suakhete bil doh in.
3For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah.
3Mikhualten honsualta ngal ua, mi ngongtatten ka hinna hihmang tumin a zong ua: Pathian tuh a ma uah a koih kei uhi. Selah.
4Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.
4Ngaiin, Pathian hon panpihpa ahia: Toupa tuh ka hinna lente laka ahi.
5He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.
5Aman gitlouhna tuhka melmate tungah a thuk ding: nang amau tuh na thutakna jiakin hihmangthangin.
6I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.
6Keimah deih thu-a thil lanin na kiangah ka kithoih dinga; Toupa aw, na min tuh ka phat ding, a hoih jiakin.Ka mangbatna tengteng ah non tankheta ngala; hondoute tunga ka deihtel tuh ka mitin a muta hi.
7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.
7Ka mangbatna tengteng ah non tankheta ngala; hondoute tunga ka deihtel tuh ka mitin a muta hi.
