Saam 138

1 David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, palungthin boih hoiah nang to kang pakoeh han; sithawnawk hmaa ah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.

By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.

2 Kaciim na tempul bang khet hoiah nang to kang bok moe, nam lunghaih hoi na oepthohhaih pongah na hmin to ka pakoeh han; nangmah ih ahmin rang hoiah na lok to hmuennawk boih pong kasang kue ah nam tuengsak boeh.

I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.

3 Kang kawkhaih niah kai han nang pathim moe, palung thungah tha nang ohsak.

In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

4 Aw Angraeng, long nui ih siangpahrangnawk boih mah na thuih ih lok to thaih o naah, nang to saphaw o tih.

O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

5 Ue, Angraeng lensawkhaih loe len parai pongah, Angraeng ih loklamnawk to pazui o ueloe, laa to sah o tih.

And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah.

6 Angraeng loe hmuensang ah oh; toe poeknaemhaih tawn kaminawk to anih mah khet; amoek kaminawk loe ahmuen kangthla hoiah anih mah panoek boeh.

For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

7 Raihaih thungah caeh cadoeh, nang hingsak tih; ka misanawk palungphuihaih to pakaa hanah na ban to payangh ueloe, na bantang ban hoiah na pahlong tih.

If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

8 Angraeng mah sak atimhaih to kai hanah akoepsak tih; Aw Angraeng; na tahmenhaih loe dungzan khoek to cak; na ban hoi sak ih hmuennawk to pahnawt sut hmah.

Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!
