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 the Overseer, 'On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.

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

From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

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

For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

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 that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

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

And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

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 dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

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

Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

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.

Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

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

Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!
