< Saam 9 >
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, Mut-labben lok hoiah sak koi David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, ka palungthin boih hoi nang kang saphaw han; na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk boih to ka hnuksak han.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David. I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart; I will recount all Your wonders.
2 Poeknawmhaih hoi nang ah kang hoe moe, aw Sang koek, na hmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
3 Ka misanawk hnukbangah amlaem o let naah, na hmaa ah amtimh o moe, anghmat o.
When my enemies retreat, they stumble and perish before You.
4 Ka toenghaih to nang doet haih; angraeng tangkhang nuiah nang hnut moe, katoengah lok na caek.
For You have upheld my just cause; You sit on Your throne judging righteously.
5 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to na thuitaek; kasae kaminawk to nam rosak moe, nihcae ih ahmin dungzan khoek to nang hmatsak boeh.
You have rebuked the nations; You have destroyed the wicked; You have erased their name forever and ever.
6 Aw na misa amrohaih loe, boeng khoek to phak boeh: vangpuinawk to na phreak pae, nihcae panoekhaih doeh angmacae hoi nawnto amro boih boeh.
The enemy has come to eternal ruin, and You have uprooted their cities; the very memory of them has vanished.
7 Toe Angraeng loe dungzan khoek to cak tih; lokcaek hanah angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to a caksak boeh.
But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment.
8 Anih mah long hae toenghaih hoiah lokcaek ueloe, katoeng lokcaekhaih hoiah kaminawk to uk tih.
He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.
9 Angraeng loe pacaekthlaekhaih tong kaminawk abuephaih ah om tih, raihaih atue ah doeh abuephaih ah oh.
The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Na hmin panoek kaminawk loe nang to oep o tih; Angraeng, nang pakrong kaminawk to na pahnawt sut mak ai.
Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 Zion ah kaom, Angraeng khaeah saphawhaih laa to sah oh loe, a sak ih hmuennawk to congca kaminawk khaeah thui oh.
Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion; proclaim His deeds among the nations.
12 Anih loe kami athii longhaih to pakuem, pahnet ai: anih loe poek pahnaemhaih hoiah qah kaminawk ih lok to pahnet ai.
For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.
13 Aw Angraeng, kai hae na tahmen ah; kai hnuma kaminawk ih pacaekthlaekhaih to na khen paeh loe, duekhaih khongkha thung hoiah na loisak ah:
Be merciful to me, O LORD; see how my enemies afflict me! Lift me up from the gates of death,
14 to tih nahaeloe Zion canu ih khongkhanawk ah nang pakoehhaih laa to ka sah thai boih ueloe, na pahlonghaih ah anghoehaih hoiah ka om tih.
that I may declare all Your praises— that within the gates of Daughter Zion I may rejoice in Your salvation.
15 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe angmacae mah takaeh o ih tangqom thungah krak o: angmacae mah hawk ih palok pongah angmacae ih khok to amanh o boih boeh.
The nations have fallen into a pit of their making; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 Angraeng loe a sak ih lokcaekhaih hoiah amtueng: toe kasae kami loe a ban hoi sak ih thaang pongah amanh. (Higgaion, Selah)
The LORD is known by the justice He brings; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
17 Sithaw pahnet prae kaminawk hoi kasae kaminawk loe, hell thungah caeh o tih. (Sheol )
The wicked will return to Sheol— all the nations who forget God. (Sheol )
18 Kavawt kaminawk to pahnet poe mak ai ueloe, amtang kaminawk oephaih doeh anghma poe mak ai.
For the needy will not always be forgotten; nor the hope of the oppressed forever dashed.
19 Aw Angraeng, angthawk ah, kami mah na pazawk hmah nasoe: Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe na hmaa ah lokcaekhaih om nasoe.
Rise up, O LORD, do not let man prevail; let the nations be judged in Your presence.
20 Aw Angraeng, nihcae to ziisak ah: to tiah ni prae congca kaminawk mah angmacae hoi angmacae to kai loe kami rumram ni, tiah panoek o thai tih. (Selah)
Lay terror upon them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men.
