Sam 8

1 Kathutkung: Devit Oe kaimae Bawipa, Jehovah teh, talai van pueng dawk na min ahawi toungloung. Na bawilennae teh kalvannaw lathueng vah na ta.

To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, na tarannaw kecu dawk moipathungkung hoi taran na roum sak thai nahanlah, sanu ka net e camonaw pahni dawk hoi thaonae hah na cak sak.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 Na kutdawn hoi na sak e kalvannaw hoi na caksak e thapa hoi âsinaw hah ka khet navah,

When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

4 tami heh banglamouh ao teh, na lungthung hoi na pouk. Tami capa heh banglamouh ao teh khuet na pai sin.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahni hah kalvantaminaw hlak bet ka rahnoum lah na sak teh, bawilennae hoi pholennae hah na kâmuk sak.

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

6 Na kutsaknaw koe kâ na tawn sak teh, a khok rahim bangpuengpa na hruek pouh.

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

7 Maitotan hoi tu pueng hai, kahrawngum e saring pueng hoi,

Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

8 kalvan e tavanaw hoi, talî thung e tanganaw hoi, talaipui thung kaawm e pueng hoi,

The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 Oe BAWIPA, kaimae Bawipa, talai van pueng dawk na min teh ahawi toungloung.

Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
