Saam 101

1 David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, na palungnathaih hoi na toenghaih nuiah laa ka sak moe, nang khaeah laa ka sak han.

I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To thee, O Jehovah, I will sing praises.

2 Coek koi om ai ah acoehaih hoiah kho ka sak han. Natuek naah maw kai khaeah nang zoh han? Coek koi om ai palungthin hoiah ka ohhaih imthung ah ka caeh han.

I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when will thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 Ka mik ah kahoih ai hmuen to ka omsak mak ai; lam amkhraeng kaminawk mah sak ih hmuen to ka hnukma; kai khaeah to baktih hmuennawk akap mak ai.

I will set no base thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who turn aside. It shall not cleave to me.

4 Poektoeng ai kaminawk loe kai khae hoi amkhraeng o tih; kasae hmuen roe ka panoek mak ai.

A perverse heart shall depart from me. I will know no evil thing.

5 Mi kawbaktih doeh a taeng ih kami to tamquta hoi kasae thui kami loe, kam rosak han; poeksang moe, amoek kami to kang hngai taak duem mak ai.

He who slanders his neighbor secretly, him I will destroy. He who has a high look and a proud heart I will not endure.

6 Kai hoi nawnto a oh o thai hanah, oepthok prae kaminawk to ka khet han; coek koi om ai ah lam caeh kaminawk loe, ka tok to sah o tih.

My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he shall minister to me.

7 Aling thaih kami loe ka imthung ah om mak ai; amsawnlok thui kami doeh ka hmaa ah angdoe mak ai.

He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood shall not be established before my eyes.

8 Prae thungah kaom kasae kaminawk boih kam rosak hmaloe han; hmuensae sah kaminawk doeh Angraeng ih vangpui thung hoiah ka tamit boih han.

Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
