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.
“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: preserve my life from the 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 secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous assault of the workers of wickedness;
3 nihcae loe palai to sumsen baktiah taak o; palaa to kah hanah kalii anueng baktiah, loksae hoiah kami to patoep o,
Who whet their tongue like a sword, who aim with their arrow, the bitter word:
4 coek koi om ai kami to tamquta hoi kah hanah patoep o moe, zithaih tawn ai ah anih to kah o roep.
To shoot in secret at the innocent; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
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 encourage themselves in an evil plan; they tell secretly of laying snares: they say, Who will see them?
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 search out iniquities; “We are ready with the carefully searched out device:” and the inward thought and heart of each is deeply [hidden].
7 Toe Sithaw mah nihcae to palaa hoiah kat tih; nihcae loe poek ai pui hoiah ahma caa o tih.
But God shooteth at them suddenly [his] arrow; —[thence] are come their wounds.
8 Angmacae ih palai to angmacae nuiah krah o sak let tih; nihcae hnu kaminawk boih cawn o tih.
And their own tongues will stumble over themselves: all that look on them will shake their head.
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.
All men shall fear, and shall declare the deeds of God, and understand his works.
10 Katoeng kami loe Angraeng ah anghoe ueloe, anih khaeah abuep tih; poek toeng kaminawk boih lensawkhaih hoiah om o tih.
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify themselves.
