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.” Be thou my judge, O LORD! for I have walked in uprightness. I have put my trust in the LORD, therefore shall I not fall.
2 Aw Angraeng, ka poekhaih hoi palungthin hae khen ah loe, caek tanoek ah.
Examine me, O LORD! and prove me; Try my reins and my heart!
3 Nam lunghaih ka hmaa ah oh poe pongah, na loktang lok ah ka caeh.
For thy kindness is ever before my eyes, And I walk in thy truth.
4 Avang ai kaminawk hoi nawnto kang hnu ai moe, angsah thaih kaminawk hoi doeh nawnto ka caeh vai ai.
I sit not with men of falsehood. And go not in company with dissemblers.
5 Kasae sah kaminawk amkhuenghaih to ka panuet, kasae kaminawk hoi nawnto kang hnu mak ai.
I hate the assembly of evil-doers, And do not sit with the wicked.
6 Aw Angraeng, zaehaih om ai ah ban kam saeh moe, na hmaicam to ka ven han:
I wash my hands in innocence. And go around thine altar. O LORD!
7 anghoehaih lok to ka thuih moe, anghmang thok na toksakhaihnawk boih to ka thuih han.
To utter the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all thy wondrous works.
8 Aw Angraeng, na im ohhaih ahmuen, na lensawk amtuenghaih ahmuen to ka koeh.
O LORD! I love the habitation of thy house, The place where thine honor dwelleth!
9 Ka pakhra hae kazae kaminawk hoi nawnto suem hmah loe, ka hinghaih doeh athii anghae kaminawk hoi nawnto suem hmah:
Gather not my breath with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood,
10 nihcae ih ban loe kasae sakhaih kop o moe, a bantang bannawk loe bokhaih hmuen hoiah koi.
In whose hands is mischief, And whose right hands are full of bribes!
11 Toe kai loe toenghaih loklam to pazui pongah, na krang ah loe, na tahmen ah.
But as for me, I walk in my integrity; Oh, redeem me, and be merciful to me!
12 Ka khok hae kadue ahmuen ah angdoe ueloe, rangpui amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah Angraeng to tahamhoihaih ka paek han.
My feet tread in a straight path; In the congregation will I bless the LORD.
