Saam 9
1 Aw Bawipa, kak kawlung boeih ing nang nim kyih vang; kawpoek kyi ik-oeih na sai boeih ce khypyi vang nyng.
[For the choir director; according to Muth-labben. A Psalm by David.] I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2 Namah awh ce kaw zeel nawh, awm kawng. Aw, sawsang soeih, nang ming kyihcahnaak laa sa vang.
I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.
3 Ka qaalkhqi taw na haiawh bah unawh; seet doena ami huna hlat tlaih uhy.
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
4 Kak cangnaak awhtaw nang ing ning dyih pyi nawh; na ngawihdoelh awh ngawi nawh, ak dyng cana awi deng hyk ti.
For you have upheld my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
5 Pilnam thlangkhqi ce toel nawh, thlak chekhqi ce milh sak khqi hyk ti; cekkhqi ang ming ce kumqui dyna khawng pe hyk ti.
You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 Amak dyt thai seetnaak ing qaalkhqi ce zawl nawh, cekkhqi a khawk bau ce hqe pe pheng hawh hyk ti; ami sim loetnaak awm hqe pek khqi boeih hawh hyk ti.
The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin; and the very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7 Bawipa taw kumqui dyna boei na awm hy; awidengnaak aham a boei ngawihdoelh ce caksak hawh hy.
But the LORD reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 Khawmdek ve ak dyng cana awi deng kawmsaw; thlangkhqi ce ak thym cana uk kaw.
And he will judge the world in righteousness. He will judge the peoples with equity.
9 Bawipa taw thekha na ak awmkhqi ang dymnaak na awm nawh, kyinaak a awm tym awh ce vawng cak na awm hy.
The LORD will also be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.
10 Nang ming ak simkhqi ing nang ce ni ypna uhy. Bawipa, nang ingtaw nang anik suikhqi ce am qoeng hyt hyk ti.
And those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11 Zion awh boei na ak ngawi Bawipa venawh kyihnaak laa sa unawh, a ik-oeih sai ce pilnam thlangkhqi venawh khypyi lah uh.
Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
12 Ikawtih, thlang thi a lawng sak ce sim loet nawh; khawdeng khuikha khqi ing kqangnaak awi ce ang zaak peek kaana am awm hy.
For he who takes revenge against murderers remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 Aw Bawipa, ka qaalkhqi ing ani thekhanaak khqi ve toek lah! Nim qeen nawh thihnaak chawmkeng khui awhkawng ni hqui lah.
Have mercy on me, LORD. See my affliction by those who hate me. You lift me up from the gates of death,
14 Cawhtaw na kyihcahnaak laa ce Zion canu ak chawmkeng awh khypyi thai kawng nyng saw, na hulnaak awh ce zeelnaak awm kaw.
so that I may tell all your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in your salvation.
15 Pilnam thlangkhqi ing amik cawh lawk-kqawng khuiawh tla boeih uhy; a mimah ing ami zan hyt lawk awh aawk boeih uhy.
The nations have fallen into the pit they had made. In the net which they hid, their feet are caught.
16 Am dyngnaak awh ce Bawipa taw sim lah uh; cehlai thlak chekhqi taw a mimah a kut sai awh ce aawk nawn uhy.
The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 Khawsa ak hilh pilnam thlangkhqi ingkaw thlak chekhqi ingtaw phyi na ce cet kawm uh. (Sheol h7585)
The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Ak voethlauh thlangkhqi ce am hilh kawmsaw, khawdeng thlangkhqi ang ngaih-unaak awm am reng tikaw.
For the needy shall not always be forgotten; the hope of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 Aw Bawipa, tho lah, thlanghqing ing koeh ni noeng seh; na haiawh pilnam thlang awideng na awm u seh.
Arise, LORD. Do not let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your presence.
20 Aw Bawipa, cekkhqi ce kqihnaak ing ly a lap sak khqi lah; pilnam boeih ve thlanghqing mai ni ti sim sak lah.
Terrify them, LORD. Let the nations know that they are only human. (Selah)
