< Psalms 3 >
1 [A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son.] LORD, how my adversaries have increased. Many rise up against me.
A capa Absalom khae hoi cawnh naah tarik ih David ih Saam laa. Aw Angraeng, kai raihaih paek misanawk loe paroeai pop o! Nihcae loe pop o parai pongah, kai hae misa ah ang suek o.
2 Many there are who say of my soul, "There is no salvation for him in God." (Selah)
Kaminawk mah, Sithaw mah anih to angsak haih mak ai, tiah ang naa o. (Selah)
3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
Toe aw Angraeng, nang loe ka buephaih, ka lensawkhaih ah na oh moe, kai ih lu atoengh tahang kami ah na oh.
4 I cried out to the LORD with my voice, and he answered me from his holy mountain. (Selah)
Angraeng khaeah tha hoi ka hang naah, anih mah angmah ih kaciim mae nui hoiah ka lok ang pathim. (Selah)
5 I lay down and slept. I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
Kang song moe, ka iih; Angraeng mah ang patawnh pongah, kang thawk let.
6 I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
Kai takui khoep, ka misa sang hatonawk to ka zii mak ai.
7 Arise, LORD. Save me, my God. For you slap all my enemies in the face. You break the teeth of the wicked.
Aw Angraeng, angthawk ah; Aw ka Sithaw, na pahlong ah: ka misanawk ih akam huh to nang boh pae moe, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk ih haa to nam rosak.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon your people. (Selah)
Pahlonghaih loe Sithaw ih ni; na tahamhoihaih loe nangmah ih kaminawk nuiah om nasoe. (Selah)
