Saam 4
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, katoeng Neginoth hoi sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw ka toenghaih Sithaw, kang kawk naah na oi pae ah: dawnraihaih hoi ka oh naah monghaih nang paek; lawk ka thuih naah, tahmenhaih hoiah nang tahngaih pae.
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; thou hast set me at large [when I was] in distress: have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2 Aw kaminawk, ka lensawkhaih hae nasetto maw azat nang paw o sak han vop? Nasetto maw avang ai hmuen to na palung o moe, lok amlaihaih na pakrong o han vop? (Selah)
O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonour? [how long] will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
3 Toe Sithaw panoek kami loe Sithaw mah Angmah hanah pahoe boeh, tiah panoek oh: anih to ka kawk naah Angraeng mah na pathim tih.
But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4 Tasoeh takuenhaih hoi om oh loe, zaehaih sah o hmah: iihkhun nuiah nang song naah, anghngai o duem ah loe, palung hoiah khopoek oh. (Selah)
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Katoeng hmuenpaekhaih to sah oh loe, Angraeng to oep oh.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
6 Mi mah maw aicae han kahoih hmuen patuek tih? tiah thui kami paroeai oh. Angraeng, na mikhmai aanghaih to kaicae nuiah amtuengsak ah.
Many there be that say, Who will shew us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
7 Cang to hak o moe, misurthaih hak o nathuem ih nihcae anghoehaih pongah doeh, ka palung thungah anghoehaih pop kue ah nang suek pae.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than [they have] when their corn and their wine are increased.
8 Kai loe monghaih hoiah kang song moe, ka iih han boeh: Angraeng, nang mah khue ni, ngan nang cuemsak.
In peace will I both lay me down and sleep: for thou, LORD, alone makest me dwell in safety.
