Saam 101

1 Aw Bawipa, na lungnaak ingkaw na thymnaak awh laa sa nyng saw, nam kyihnaak laa sa vang nyng.

A Psalm of David. I will sing of Your loving devotion and justice; to You, O LORD, I will sing praises.

2 Coet a kap kaana khaw ka saknaak aham ngaihta vang nyng – ityk awh ka venna na law kaw? Coet amak kap kawlung ing ka ipkhui na cet vang nyng.

I will ponder the way that is blameless— when will You come to me? I will walk in my house with integrity of heart.

3 Amak leek ik-oeih ce ka mik huh awh am awm sak kawng. Cangnaak amak ta thlangkhqi a ik-oeih saikhqi ce sawh na nyng; cekkhqi ing kai am nim tu kawm uh.

I will set no worthless thing before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

4 Kawlung amak dyng thlangkhqi taw ka venawh kawng ak hla na awm kawm uh; ak che ik-oeih qoe qoe ce ap kqip ti kawng.

A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will know nothing of evil.

5 U awm a kengsam awhkaw thlang ang hypna ak kqawnseetkhqi taw, hqe kawng nyng; u awm oek qunaak mik dai nawh kawlung ak oek qu taw, am dun khing ti kawng.

Whoever slanders his neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; the one with haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not endure.

6 Kai ing ami awm haih thainaak aham, qam khuiawh kaw ypawm thlangkhqi ce toek kawng nyng; coet a kap kaana ak cet thlangkhqi ing ka bibi kawm uh.

My eyes favor the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way of integrity shall minister to me.

7 Thlak thaikhqi ka ipkhui awh am awm thai kawm uh; amak thym awi ak paukhqi ka haiawh am dyi thai kawm uh.

No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.

8 Qam khuiawh kaw thlakchekhqi ce mymcang qoek awh hqe khqi kawng; ik-oeih che ak saikhqi boeih ce Bawipa khawk bau khuiawh kawng milh sak kawng.

Every morning I will remove all the wicked of the land, that I may cut off every evildoer from the city of the LORD.
