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 leader;’almuth labben. A psalm of David. With all my heart I will praise the Lord, all your wonders I will rehearse.
2 Poeknawmhaih hoi nang ah kang hoe moe, aw Sang koek, na hmin pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.
I will rejoice and exult in you, singing praise to your name, Most High;
3 Ka misanawk hnukbangah amlaem o let naah, na hmaa ah amtimh o moe, anghmat o.
because backward my foes were turned, they stumbled and perished before you.
4 Ka toenghaih to nang doet haih; angraeng tangkhang nuiah nang hnut moe, katoengah lok na caek.
My right and my claim you have upheld, you did sit on the throne as a fair judge,
5 Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk to na thuitaek; kasae kaminawk to nam rosak moe, nihcae ih ahmin dungzan khoek to nang hmatsak boeh.
rebuking the nations, destroying the wicked, and blotting their name out 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 foe is vanished, ruined forever, their cities destroyed, their memory perished.
7 Toe Angraeng loe dungzan khoek to cak tih; lokcaek hanah angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to a caksak boeh.
See! The Lord is seated forever on the throne he established for judgment,
8 Anih mah long hae toenghaih hoiah lokcaek ueloe, katoeng lokcaekhaih hoiah kaminawk to uk tih.
ruling the world with justice, and judging the nations with equity.
9 Angraeng loe pacaekthlaekhaih tong kaminawk abuephaih ah om tih, raihaih atue ah doeh abuephaih ah oh.
So the Lord proves a haven to the oppressed, a haven 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.
Well may they trust you who know your name, for those who seek you, you never abandon.
11 Zion ah kaom, Angraeng khaeah saphawhaih laa to sah oh loe, a sak ih hmuennawk to congca kaminawk khaeah thui oh.
Sing praise to the Lord, whose home is in Zion, declare 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.
As avenger of blood, he keeps them in mind, he does not forget the cry of the wretched.
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:
Show me favour, Lord, see how my foes 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.
so I may, in your help exulting, tell forth your praise at the gates of Zion.
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 are sunk in the pit which they made, in the net that they hid, their own foot is entangled.
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 revealed in the judgment he wrought, the wicked are snared in their own handiwork. (Selah)
Let the wicked depart to Sheol, all the nations that live forgetful of God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kavawt kaminawk to pahnet poe mak ai ueloe, amtang kaminawk oephaih doeh anghma poe mak ai.
For the needy will not be always forgotten, nor the hope of the helpless be lost forever.
19 Aw Angraeng, angthawk ah, kami mah na pazawk hmah nasoe: Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe na hmaa ah lokcaekhaih om nasoe.
Arise, Lord; don’t let them triumph: before your face let the nations be judged.
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)
Strike them with fear, Lord: show the nations how frail they are. (Selah)
