< 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. LORD, how are they multiplied that trouble me? many [are] they that rise up against me.
2 Kaminawk mah, Sithaw mah anih to angsak haih mak ai, tiah ang naa o. (Selah)
Many [there are] who say of my soul, [There is] no help 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, O LORD, [art] a shield for 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)
I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me from his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Kang song moe, ka iih; Angraeng mah ang patawnh pongah, kang thawk let.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 Kai takui khoep, ka misa sang hatonawk to ka zii mak ai.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set [themselves] against me on all sides.
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, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all my enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Pahlonghaih loe Sithaw ih ni; na tahamhoihaih loe nangmah ih kaminawk nuiah om nasoe. (Selah)
Salvation [belongeth] to the LORD: thy blessing [is] upon thy people. (Selah)
