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 thine ear, O LORD! and hear me, For I am poor and distressed!
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 life, for I am devoted to thee! Save, O thou my God! thy servant who trusteth in thee!
3 Aw Angraeng, ka nuiah palungnathaih tawn raeh; ni thokkruek nang khaeah ka hangh.
Have pity upon me, O Lord! For to thee do I cry daily!
4 Na tamna ih pakhra to anghoesak ah; Aw Angraeng, nang khaeah, ka hinghaih kang vah tahang.
Revive the soul of thy servant, For to thee, O Lord! do I lift up 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, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; Yea, rich in mercy to all that call upon thee!
6 Aw Angraeng, lawk ka thuihaih hae tahngai ah; tahmen kang hnikhaih lok hae tahngai raeh.
Give ear, O LORD! to my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplication!
7 Raihaih ka tongh niah nang to kang kawk han; to naah nang mah nang pathim tih.
In the day of my trouble I call upon thee, For thou dost answer me!
8 Aw Angraeng, sithawnawk thungah nang baktih mi doeh om ai; na sak ih toknawk baktih tok doeh om ai.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord! And there are no works 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 which thou hast made must come and worship before thee, O Lord! And glorify thy name!
10 Nang loe lensawk moe, dawnrai hmuennawk to na sak; Sithaw ah kaom loe nang khue ni.
For great art thou, and wondrous are thy works; Thou alone art God!
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, That I may walk in thy truth; Unite all 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 praise thee, O Lord, my God! with my whole heart; I will give glory to thy name for ever!
13 Na palungnathaih loe kating ai len; kathuk taprong thung hoiah ka hinghaih to nang pahlong boeh. (Sheol h7585)
For thy kindness to me hath been great; Thou hast delivered me from the depths of the underworld! (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 proud have risen against me; Bands of cruel men seek my life, And set not thee before their eyes.
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 a God full of compassion and kindness, Long-suffering, rich in mercy 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.
Look upon me, and have compassion upon me! Give thy strength to 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.
Show me a token for good, That my enemies may see it and be confounded; Because thou, O LORD! helpest and comfortest me!
