< 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, my God, you, you do I seek: my heart thirsts for you, my body faints for you in a parched and waterless land.
2 Na thacakhaih hoi na lensawkhaih to hnuk hanah, hmuenciim ah nang kang pakrong moe, kang hnuk boeh.
As I in the temple have seen you, beholding your power and your glory,
3 Nang tahmenhaih loe hinghaih pongah hoih kue baktih toengah, pahni hoiah nang kang pakoeh han.
for better than life is your kindness: my lips shall utter your praise.
4 Ka hing thung tahamhoihaih kang paek han, na hmin hoiah ban ka payangh han.
So, while I live, I will bless you, and lift up my hands in your name.
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 marrow and fat am I feasted; with joyful lips I will praise you.
6 Ka iihkhun hoi nang to kang panoek poe moe, aqum puek nang to kang poek han.
I call you to mind on my bed, and muse on you in the night watches;
7 Nang loe kai bomkung ah na oh pongah, na pakhraeh tahlip ah kang hoe han.
for you have been my help, I joyfully sing in the shadow of your wings.
8 Ka hinghaih loe nang khaeah ni amha, na bantang ban hoiah nang patawnh.
I cling close after you, your right hand holds me up.
9 Ka pakhra paro han pakrong kaminawk loe, longkhaw thungah caeh o tih.
But those who seek after my life shall go down to the depths of the earth,
10 Nihcae loe sumsen hoi amtimh o ueloe, tasuinawk ih rawkcak ah angcoeng o tih.
given o’er to the power of the sword, or as prey for jackals to devour.
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: all who own his allegiance will glory. For the mouth of the false shall be stopped.
