Saam 86
1 David Lawkthuihaih. Aw Angraeng, na naa to patueng ah loe, na pathim ah; kai loe kamtang hoi kavawt kami ah ni ka oh.
“A prayer of David.” Incline, O Lord, thy ear, answer me; for poor and needy am I.
2 Ka ciim pongah, ka hinghaih hae pathlung ah; Nang loe ka Sithaw ah ni na oh; nang oephaih tawn na tamna hae pahlong ah!
Preserve my soul; for I am pious: help thy servant, O thou my God, that trusteth in thee.
3 Aw Angraeng, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh; ni thokkruek nang khaeah ka hangh.
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee I call all the time.
4 Na tamna ih pakhra to anghoesak ah; Aw Angraeng, nang khaeah, ka hinghaih kang vah tahang.
Cause to rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift my soul.
5 Angraeng, nang loe na hoih, zae tahmen hanah na koeh; nang kawk kaminawk boih khaeah, pop parai palungnathaih to nam tuengsak.
For thou, O Lord, art good and forgiving, and abundant in kindness unto all that call on thee.
6 Aw Angraeng, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; tahmen kang hnikhaih lok hae tahngai raeh.
Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 Raihaih ka tongh niah nang to kang kawk han; to naah nang mah nang pathim tih.
On the day of my distress will I call on thee; for thou wilt answer me.
8 Aw Angraeng, sithawnawk thungah nang baktih mi doeh om ai; na sak ih toknawk baktih tok doeh om ai.
There is none like unto thee among the Gods, O Lord; and there is nothing like thy works.
9 Aw Angraeng, na sak ih prae congca kaminawk angzo o tih; nihcae loe na hmaa ah tabok o ueloe, na hmin to pakoeh o tih.
All the nations whom thou hast made shall come and bow themselves down before thee, O Lord; and they shall ascribe honor unto thy name.
10 Nang loe lensawk moe, dawnrai hmuennawk to na sak; Sithaw ah kaom loe nang khue ni.
For great art thou, and doing wondrous things: thou art God by thyself alone.
11 Aw Angraeng, loklam na patuek ah; kai loe na loktang lok pongah ni ka caeh han; na hmin ka zit thaih hanah, ka palungthin hae amhongsak ah.
Teach me, O Lord, thy way; I will walk firmly in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, ka palungthin boih hoiah kang pakoeh han; dungzan khoek to na hmin kang pakoeh han.
I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will honor thy name for evermore.
13 Na palungnathaih loe kating ai len; kathuk taprong thung hoiah ka hinghaih to nang pahlong boeh. (Sheol h7585)
For thy kindness is great toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the grave of the lower world. (Sheol h7585)
14 Aw Sithaw, amoek kaminawk loe naeh hanah angthawk o tahang; tahmenhaih tawn ai amkhueng kaminawk loe nang to hmaloe koek ah suem o ai, nihcae loe ka hinghaih to pakrong o.
O God, the presumptuous are risen up against me, and the assembly of the powerful wicked have sought after my life, and have not set thee before them.
15 Toe Aw Angraeng, nang loe tahmenhaih, amlunghaih, pauep thaihaih, pop parai palungnathaih, loktang lok hoiah koi Sithaw ah na oh.
But thou, O Lord, art God, full of mercy, and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in kindness and truth.
16 Kai khaeah angqoi ah loe, ka nuiah palungnathaih to tawn ah; na tamna khaeah na thacakhaih to paek ah loe, na tamna nongpata ih capa hae pahlong ah.
Oh turn unto me, and be gracious unto me: give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Kai hnuma kaminawk mah a hnuk o thaih moe, azat o thaih hanah, kai han angmathaih kahoih to na patuek ah; tih pongah tih nahaeloe Angraeng nang mah nang bomh moe, nang pathloep boeh.
Display on me a sign for good, that those who hate me may see it, and be ashamed; because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.
