Saam 8

1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah Gittith hoiah sak han koi David ih saam laa. Aw Angraeng, kaicae Angraeng, long nui boih ah nang ih ahmin loe kawkruk maw hoih! Na lensawkhaih to vannawk nuiah na suek.

To him that excelleth on Gittith. A Psalme of Dauid. O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy Name in all the worlde! which hast set thy glory aboue the heauens.

2 Na misanawk pongah, misanawk hoi lula kaminawk nang hngaisak duem hanah, tahnu nae nawktanawk ih pakha hoiah thacakhaih to na paek.

Out of the mouth of babes and suckelings hast thou ordeined strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemie and the auenger.

3 Na banpazung hoiah sak ih van ah kaom hmuennawk, na sak ih khrah hoi cakaehnawk ka poek naah,

When I beholde thine heauens, euen the workes of thy fingers, the moone and the starres which thou hast ordeined,

4 kami loe kawbangmaw oh moe, anih to na poek haih khing? Kami capa loe kawbangah maw oh moe, anih to na paqai thuih?

What is man, say I, that thou art mindefull of him? and the sonne of man, that thou visitest him?

5 Anih loe vankami pong kahnaem kue ah na sak moe, lensawkhaih hoiah pakoehhaih to nang mueksak.

For thou hast made him a little lower then God, and crowned him with glory and worship.

6 Anih to na ban hoi sak ih hmuennawk boih ukkung ah na suek moe, a khok tlim ah hmuennawk boih na suek pae:

Thou hast made him to haue dominion in the workes of thine hands: thou hast put all things vnder his feete:

7 maitaw taenawk hoi tuunawk boih, ue, taw ah kaom moinawk boih;

All sheepe and oxen: yea, and the beastes of the fielde:

8 van ah kaom tavaanawk, tuipui thungah kaom tanganawk boih hoi tuipui thungah kaom angtawt thaih minphaw amiinawk boih, a khok tlim ah na suek pae.

The foules of the ayre, and the fish of the sea, and that which passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 Aw Angraeng, kaicae ih Angraeng, na hmin loe long nui boih ah kawkruk maw hoih!

O Lord our Lord, howe excellent is thy Name in all the world!
