< Saam 3 >
1 A capa Absalom khae hoi cawnh naah tarik ih David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, kai raihaih paek misanawk loe paroeai pop o! Nihcae loe pop o parai pongah, kai hae misa ah ang suek o.
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Jehovah, how many are they that trouble me, many they that rise up against me!
2 Kaminawk mah, Sithaw mah anih to angsak haih mak ai, tiah ang naa o. (Selah)
Many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in God. (Selah)
3 Toe aw Angraeng, nang loe ka buephaih, ka lensawkhaih ah na oh moe, kai ih lu atoengh tahang kami ah na oh.
But thou, Jehovah, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 Angraeng khaeah tha hoi ka hang naah, anih mah angmah ih kaciim mae nui hoiah ka lok ang pathim. (Selah)
With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from the hill of his holiness. (Selah)
5 Kang song moe, ka iih; Angraeng mah ang patawnh pongah, kang thawk let.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked, for Jehovah sustaineth me.
6 Kai takui khoep, ka misa sang hatonawk to ka zii mak ai.
I will not fear for myriads of the people that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Aw Angraeng, angthawk ah; Aw ka Sithaw, na pahlong ah: ka misanawk ih akam huh to nang boh pae moe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ih haa to nam rosak.
Arise, Jehovah; save me, my God! For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheekbone, thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Pahlonghaih loe Sithaw ih ni; na tahamhoihaih loe nangmah ih kaminawk nuiah om nasoe. (Selah)
Salvation is of Jehovah; thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
