Saam 70

1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David mah tahmen hnikhaih. Aw Sithaw, karangah na pahlong ah; Aw Angraeng, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo ah.

For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder. Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, LORD.

2 Ka hinghaih lak han pakrong kaminawk loe azathaih tongh o nasoe loe, anghmanghaih hoiah om o nasoe; kai raihaih paek koeh kaminawk loe hnuk amlaem o nasoe loe, palungboenghaih hoiah om o nasoe.

Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

3 Kai hanah Aha, Aha, tiah pahnuithuih kaminawk loe azathaih hoiah amlaem o let nasoe.

Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”

4 Nang pakrong kaminawk boih, nang ah anghoe o nasoe loe, nawm o nasoe; na pahlonghaih koeh kaminawk mah, Sithaw loe dungzan khoek to lensawkhaih om nasoe, tiah thui o nasoe.

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

5 Toe kai loe amtang moe, caaknaek vawt kami ah ka oh; Aw Sithaw, kai khaeah karangah angzo ah; nang loe kai bomkung hoi kai pahlongkung ah na oh; aw Angraeng, akra hmah.

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, don’t delay.
