Saam 36
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, Angraeng ih tamna David ih Saam laa. Kasae kami zaehaih mah ka palung thungah lok ang thuih: Anih loe mik ah Sithaw zithaih roe tawn ai.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Panuet thok angmah ih zaehaih to hnu ai, angmah hoi angmah to kahoih baktiah a hnuk.
For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin.
3 Anih pakha thung ih loknawk loe sethaih hoi alinghaih khue ni oh: hoihaih paek thaih palunghahaih to a caehtaak boeh.
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.
4 Anih loe iihhaih ahmuen ah oh naah mataeng doeh kasae khue ni poek; kahoih ai loklam to a pazui, sethaih tuinuen to panuet ai.
Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil.
5 Aw Angraeng, na palungnathaih mah vannawk to phak moe, na oep thohhaih loe tamai khoek to phak boeh.
Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Na toenghaih loe mae pui baktiah oh; na lokcaekhaih loe thuk parai: Aw Angraeng, nang mah ni kami hoi taw ih moinawk to na khetzawn.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
7 Aw Sithaw, nam lunghaih loe kawkruk maw hoih! To pongah ni kaminawk loe na pakhraeh tahlip ah abuep o.
How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!
8 Na im thung ih angraenghaih mah nihcae to palung khuek tihsak ueloe, nang hoehaih vapui tui to nihcae han na naesak tih.
They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights.
9 Hinghaih tuibap loe nang khaeah ni oh: na aanghaih mah kaicae han aanghaih to paek.
For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.
10 Nang panoek kaminawk khaeah nam lunghaih to omsak poeh loe, poek toeng kaminawk khaeah na toenghaih to omsak poe ah.
Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Amoek kami ih khok to kai khaeah angzosak hmah, kasae kami ih ban mah doeh kai hae na tahruet hmah nasoe.
Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Kahoih ai hmuen sah kaminawk loe amtimh o: nihcae loe amtimh o moe, angthawk o thai ai boeh.
There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise.
