< Saam 26 >
1 David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, toenghaih ka pazui pongah, ka toenghaih baktiah lok takroek ah: Angraeng to ka oep pongah, kam thaek mak ai.
[A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.
2 Aw Angraeng, ka poekhaih hoi palungthin hae khen ah loe, caek tanoek ah.
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.
3 Nam lunghaih ka hmaa ah oh poe pongah, na loktang lok ah ka caeh.
For your mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with your truth.
4 Avang ai kaminawk hoi nawnto kang hnu ai moe, angsah thaih kaminawk hoi doeh nawnto ka caeh vai ai.
I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.
5 Kasae sah kaminawk amkhuenghaih to ka panuet, kasae kaminawk hoi nawnto kang hnu mak ai.
I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].
6 Aw Angraeng, zaehaih om ai ah ban kam saeh moe, na hmaicam to ka ven han:
I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass your altar, O Lord:
7 anghoehaih lok to ka thuih moe, anghmang thok na toksakhaihnawk boih to ka thuih han.
to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.
8 Aw Angraeng, na im ohhaih ahmuen, na lensawk amtuenghaih ahmuen to ka koeh.
O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house, and the place of the tabernacle of your glory.
9 Ka pakhra hae kazae kaminawk hoi nawnto suem hmah loe, ka hinghaih doeh athii anghae kaminawk hoi nawnto suem hmah:
Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:
10 nihcae ih ban loe kasae sakhaih kop o moe, a bantang bannawk loe bokhaih hmuen hoiah koi.
in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.
11 Toe kai loe toenghaih loklam to pazui pongah, na krang ah loe, na tahmen ah.
But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.
12 Ka khok hae kadue ahmuen ah angdoe ueloe, rangpui amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah Angraeng to tahamhoihaih ka paek han.
My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless you, O Lord.
