Saam 64
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Aw Sithaw, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; misa zithaih thung hoiah ka hinghaih hae pakaa ah.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Kasae kaminawk mah tamquta hoi thuih o ih lokramhaih thung hoiah na pakaa ah loe, sethaih sah kaminawk salak hoiah na hawk ah;
Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,
3 nihcae loe palai to sumsen baktiah taak o; palaa to kah hanah kalii anueng baktiah, loksae hoiah kami to patoep o,
who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,
4 coek koi om ai kami to tamquta hoi kah hanah patoep o moe, zithaih tawn ai ah anih to kah o roep.
ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.
5 Nihcae loe kasae hmuen sakhaih bangah maeto hoi maeto tha ang paek o; mi mah maw nihcae to hnu tih, tiah poek o moe, tamquta hoi thaang patung hanah a thuih o.
They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.
6 Nihcae loe kahoih ai hmuen sak hanah pakrong o; kahoih ai hmuen to ka sak o tangtang han, palung thungah a poek o ih hmuen loe thuk parai.
They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.
7 Toe Sithaw mah nihcae to palaa hoiah kat tih; nihcae loe poek ai pui hoiah ahma caa o tih.
But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.
8 Angmacae ih palai to angmacae nuiah krah o sak let tih; nihcae hnu kaminawk boih cawn o tih.
They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.
9 Kaminawk boih mah nihcae to zii o ueloe, Sithaw toksakhaih to taphong o tih, to naah anih mah sak ih hmuen to nihcae mah poek o tih.
Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.
10 Katoeng kami loe Angraeng ah anghoe ueloe, anih khaeah abuep tih; poek toeng kaminawk boih lensawkhaih hoiah om o tih.
Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.
