Saam 63
1 Judah praezaek ah oh naah, David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, nang loe ka Sithaw ah na oh; nang to kang pakrong han; tui om ai praezaek ah, ka pakhra mah nang hae tui ah anghaeh moe, ka taksa mah nang to poek.
“A psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.” O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry land, and it is faint without water.
2 Na thacakhaih hoi na lensawkhaih to hnuk hanah, hmuenciim ah nang kang pakrong moe, kang hnuk boeh.
As I have beheld thee in the sanctuary, seeing thy strength and thy glory;
3 Nang tahmenhaih loe hinghaih pongah hoih kue baktih toengah, pahni hoiah nang kang pakoeh han.
Because thy kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee:
4 Ka hing thung tahamhoihaih kang paek han, na hmin hoiah ban ka payangh han.
Thus will I bless thee while I live; in thy name will I lift up my hands.
5 Tangkhring hoi kathawk moi baktiah, ka hinghaih mah zok amhah tih, ka pahni mah anghoehaih laa to sah ueloe, ka pakha mah nang to pakoeh tih.
As with fat and marrow will my soul be satisfied; and with tuneful lips shall my mouth praise thee.
6 Ka iihkhun hoi nang to kang panoek poe moe, aqum puek nang to kang poek han.
When I remember thee upon my couch, I meditate on thee in the night-watches.
7 Nang loe kai bomkung ah na oh pongah, na pakhraeh tahlip ah kang hoe han.
Because thou hast been a help unto me; and in the shadow of thy wings will I sing rejoicingly.
8 Ka hinghaih loe nang khaeah ni amha, na bantang ban hoiah nang patawnh.
My soul cleaveth unto following thee: me thy right hand upholdeth.
9 Ka pakhra paro han pakrong kaminawk loe, longkhaw thungah caeh o tih.
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go down into the lowest deeps of the earth.
10 Nihcae loe sumsen hoi amtimh o ueloe, tasuinawk ih rawkcak ah angcoeng o tih.
They shall be delivered up to the power of the sword: they shall become a prey for jackals.
11 Toe siangpahrang loe Sithaw ah anghoe tih; anih hoi lokkamhaih sah kaminawk loe lensawk o tih; toe amsawnlok thui kaminawk ih pakha loe tamuep pae khoep tih.
But the king shall rejoice in God: every one that sweareth by him shall glorify himself; for the mouth of those that speak falsehood shall be stopped.
