Saam 108

1 David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, ka palungthin loe cak; ka hinghaih boih hoiah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.

A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.

2 Katoeng hoi tamoinawk, angthawk oh! Kai loe khawnthaw ah kang thawk han.

Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.

3 Aw Angraeng, kaminawk salakah, nang kang pakoeh han; acaeng kaminawk salakah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.

I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.

4 Na palungnathaih loe len moe, van pongah doeh sang kue; na loktang lok loe van khoek to phak.

For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.

5 Aw Sithaw, nang loe vannawk pongah sang nasoe; na lensawkhaih long nui boih ah om nasoe.

Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.

6 Na palung ih kaminawk pahlong thai hanah, na bantang ban hoiah pahlong ah loe, ka lok hae na tahngai pae ah.

That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.

7 Sithaw loe angmah ih hmuenciim hoiah lokthuih boeh; kai loe kang hoe han; Shekem to pakhoih moe, Sukkoth azawn to ka tah han.

God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,

8 Gilead loe kai ih ni; Manasseh doeh kai ih ni; Ephraim loe ka lu thacakhaih lumuek ah oh; Judah loe kai ih kaalok patukkung ah oh.

Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,

9 Moab loe khok kam saehhaih sabae kathuk ah oh; Edom nuiah kaimah ih khokpanai to ka vah han; Philistia nuiah pazawkhaih hoiah ka hangh han.

Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.

10 Sipae kacak vangpui thungah mi mah maw na zae tih? Mi mah maw Edom prae ah na caeh haih tih?

Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

11 Aw Sithaw, nangmah na ai maw kaicae hae pahnawt sut? Kaicae ih misatuh kaminawk hoi nawnto caeh ai ah kaom kami doeh, nang na ai maw?

Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!

12 Raihaih thung hoiah ka loih o thai hanah, na bom ah; kami mah abomhaih loe azom pui ni.

Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.

13 Kaicae loe Sithaw rang hoiah misa ka hoih o tih; kaicae ih misanawk to anih na tii pae tih.

We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
