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 by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who 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 you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Angraeng khaeah tha hoi ka hang naah, anih mah angmah ih kaciim mae nui hoiah ka lok ang pathim. (Selah)
I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Kang song moe, ka iih; Angraeng mah ang patawnh pongah, kang thawk let.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me.
6 Kai takui khoep, ka misa sang hatonawk to ka zii mak ai.
I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
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, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Pahlonghaih loe Sithaw ih ni; na tahamhoihaih loe nangmah ih kaminawk nuiah om nasoe. (Selah)
Salvation belongs to Yahweh. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
