Saam 71
1 Aw Angraeng, nang thungah ni kang hawk; natuek naah doeh azathaih na tongsak hmah.
In thee, O LORD! do I put my trust! Let me never be put to shame!
2 Na toenghaih hoi pahlong ah loe, na loisak ah; kai khaeah na naa to patueng ah loe, na pahlong ah.
In thy goodness deliver and rescue me; Incline thine ear to me, and save me!
3 Ka phak thaihaih ahmuen kruekah, ka buephaih ah om ah; nang loe ka lungsong hoi kang vaenghaih ah na oh pongah, kai pahlong hanah lok na paek boeh.
Be thou the rock of my abode, where I may continually resort! Thou hast granted me deliverance; For thou art my rock and my fortress!
4 Aw ka Sithaw, kami zaenawk ih ban thung hoiah pahlong ah, katoeng ai kami hoi hmawsaeng kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah na pahlong ah.
Save me, O my God! from the hand of the wicked, -From the hand of the unjust and cruel!
5 Aw Angraeng Sithaw, nang loe ka oephaih akung pui ah na oh; ka thendoeng nathuem hoi boeh ni nang loe kang oephaih ah na oh.
For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah! Thou hast been my trust from my youth!
6 Ka tapen tangsuek nathuem hoi nang khaeah kam ha boeh; nang mah ni kam no zok thung hoiah nang lak. Nang loe dungzan ah kang pakoeh han.
Upon thee have I leaned from my birth; From my earliest breath thou hast been my support; My song hath been continually of thee!
7 Kai loe kanoih kaminawk dawnrai han koi ah ni ka oh; toe nang loe kacak ka buephaih ah na oh.
I am a wonder to many, But thou art my strong refuge.
8 Ka pakha loe athun qui nang pakoehhaih, na lensawkhaih hoiah koi nasoe.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise; Yea, all the day long, with thy glory.
9 Kai mitong naah na pahnawt sut hmah; ka thaboeng naah na caeh taak hmah.
Cast me not off in mine old age; Forsake me not, When my strength faileth!
10 Ka misanawk loe kai aekhaih lok to thuih o; ka hinghaih patoem kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o,
For my enemies speak against me, And they who lay wait for my life consult together:
11 anih loe Sithaw mah pahnawt sut boeh; patom oh loe naeh oh; anih bomkung mi doeh om ai boeh, tiah a thuih o.
“God,” say they, “hath forsaken him; Pursue and seize him; for he hath none to deliver him!”
12 Aw Sithaw, kangthla ah na om taak ving hmah; aw ka Sithaw, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo ah!
O God! be not far from me! Come speedily to mine aid, O my God!
13 Ka hinghaih misa ah poek kaminawk loe azathaih hoiah anghma angtaa o nasoe; kai nganbawh kana paek han pakrong kaminawk loe pronghaih hoi ahminsethaih mah kraeng khoep nasoe.
Let them perish with shame who are my enemies; Let them be covered with contempt and dishonor who seek my hurt!
14 Toe kai loe oephaih ka tawnh poe pongah, nang to kang pakoeh aep aep han.
But I will hope continually; I shall yet praise thee more and more.
15 Nazetto maw tiah ka panoek ai cadoeh, ka pakha mah na toenghaih hoi na pahlonghaih to ni thokkruek thui tih.
My mouth shall speak of thy goodness, —Of thy sure protection all the day long; For thy mercies are more than I can number.
16 Kai loe Angraeng Sithaw thacakhaih hoiah ka caeh, na toenghaih khue ni ka thuih han.
I will celebrate thy mighty deeds, O Lord Jehovah! I will make mention of thy goodness, of thine only!
17 Aw Sithaw, ka thendoeng nathuem hoiah nang patuk boeh; na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to vaihni khoek to ka thuih.
O God! thou hast taught me from my youth, And thus far have I declared thy wondrous deeds;
18 Aw Sithaw, kai loe vaihi mitong boeh, na thacakhaih to sampok khoek to, vaihi dung ih kaminawk khaeah ka thuih moe, na sakthaihaih to angzo han koi kaminawk khaeah ka thui ai karoek to, na pahnawt sut hmah.
And now, when I am old and gray-headed, O God! forsake me not, Until I make known thine arm to the next generation, -Thy mighty power to all that are to come!
19 Aw Sithaw, kalen parai hmuennawk sahkung, na toenghaih loe van khoek to phak; Aw Sithaw, nang baktih mi maw kaom?
For thy goodness, O God! reacheth to the heavens; Wonderful things doest thou! O God! who is like unto thee?
20 Kalen parai raihaih to nang patuek boeh; nang mah nang hingsak let ueloe, kathuk long thung hoiah kai nang thawksak let tih.
Thou hast suffered us to see great and grievous troubles; Thou wilt again give us life, And wilt bring us back from the depths of the earth!
21 Kai khosak hoihhaih to pungsak ueloe, na pathloep let tih.
Thou wilt increase my greatness; Thou wilt again comfort me!
22 Aw ka Sithaw, nang hoi na loktang lok to katoeng hoiah kang pakoeh han; aw Israelnawk ih Ciimcai Sithaw, katoeng kruekhaih hoiah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
Then will I praise thee with the psaltery; Even thy faithfulness, O my God! To thee will I sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel!
23 Nang khaeah laa ka sak naah, ka palainawk anghoe o ueloe, na krang ih ka hinghaih doeh anghoe tih.
My lips shall rejoice, when I sing to thee; And my soul, which thou hast redeemed from death;
24 Ni thokkruek ka palai mah na toenghaih to thui tih; kai nganbawh kana paek hanah pakrong kaminawk loe, azathaih to tongh o moe, dawnraihaih hoiah oh o sut boeh.
My tongue also shall continually speak of thy righteousness: For all who seek my hurt are brought to shame and confounded.
