1 David ih Saam m laa. Aw ka hinghaih, Angraeng to tahamhoihaih paek ah; kai ih takoh thungah kaomnawk boih, anih ih ciimcai ahmin to pakoeh oh.
A psalm of David. Let every part of me praise the Lord; let my whole being praise his holy character.
2 Aw ka hinghaih, Angraeng to tahamhoihaih paek ah, ang paek ih kahoih hmuennawk boih to pahnet hmah;
Let every part of me praise the Lord; don't let me forget the wonderful things he's done for me.
3 Anih mah ni na zaehaihnawk to tahmen moe, na nathaihnawk boih to hoihsak,
He forgives my sins, and he heals all my diseases.
4 amrohaih thung hoiah na hinghaih to akrang moe, amlunghaih hoi a palungnathaih hoiah na lu to ang khuk pae,
He saves me from death; he honors me with trustworthy love and mercy.
5 na tha oh lihaih to tahmu baktiah angthasak hanah, kahoih hmuen hoiah na koehhaih to akoepsak.
He fills my life with all that's good; he makes me young again, strong as an eagle.
6 Angraeng loe pacaekthlaekhaih tongh kaminawk to katoeng ah lokcaek.
The Lord does what is right, and vindicates those who are exploited.
7 Mosi khaeah angmah ih loklam to panoeksak moe, Israel caanawk khaeah a sak ih hmuennawk to panoeksak.
He explained his ways to Moses: he told the people of Israel what he was going to do.
8 Angraeng loe palungnathaih hoi amlunghaih to tawnh, palung sawk, anih loe palungnathaih hoiah koi.
The Lord is kind and gracious, not quick-tempered, and full of trustworthy love.
9 Anih loe zaehaih net poe mak ai; palung doeh phui poe mak ai.
He doesn't keep on accusing us; he doesn't stay angry with us forever.
10 Anih loe aicae zaehaih baktiah lokcaek ai; a sakpazae o haih baktiah doeh pathok ai.
He does not punish us for our sins as he ought to; he does not pay us back for our wrongdoing as we deserve.
11 Van loe long pongah sang kue baktih toengah, anih zii kaminawk hanah anih palungnathaih loe len parai.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth is the extent of his trustworthy love to those who honor him.
12 Ni angyae hoi niduem loe angthla parai baktih toengah, aicae zaehaih to kangthla ah ang takhoe pae ving boeh.
As far as the east is from the west is how far the Lord has taken our sins away from us.
13 Ampa mah a caanawk tahmen baktih toengah, anih zii kaminawk loe Angraeng mah tahmen.
Like a loving father, the Lord is kind and compassionate to those who follow him.
14 Aicae hae kawbangah maw a sak, tito anih mah panoek; aicae loe maiphu ah ni a oh o, tiah anih mah panoek.
For he knows how we are made; he remembers we are only dust.
15 Kami hinghaih aninawk loe qam baktih, lawk ih apawk baktiah ni oh.
Human lifetimes are like grass: we blossom like flowers in a field,
16 Takhi song naah apawk loe anghmat boih, a ohhaih ahmuen mataeng doeh panoek thai ai boeh.
but then the wind blows and we are gone, disappearing without a trace.
17 Toe anih zithaih tawn kaminawk khaeah loe, Angraeng amlunghaih to dungzan hoi dungzan khoek to oh, a toenghaih loe a caanawk ih a caanawk patoeng khoek to oh,
But the Lord's trustworthy love lasts for all eternity to those who accept him; his goodness to all generations,
18 a lokmaihaih aek ai kaminawk hoiah a paek ih loknawk pazui han panoek kaminawk loe to tiah om o tih.
to those who keep his agreement and who remember to follow his commandments.
19 Angraeng loe angmah ih angraeng tangkhang to van ah caksak moe, a ukhaih prae mah pazawk boih.
The Lord has set up his throne in the heavens, and he rules over all.
20 Thacak moe, a thuih ih lok baktiah kasah, nangcae angmah ih vankaminawk, Angraeng to tahamhoihaih paek oh.
Praise the Lord, you angels, you powerful ones who do what he says, listening to what he tells you!
21 Anih koehhaih kasah, a toksah kaminawk boih, anih ih misatuh kaminawk boih, Angraeng to tahamhoihaih paek oh.
Praise the Lord, you heavenly armies who serve him and carry out his will!
22 A ukhaih prae thung ih ahmuen kruekah kaom a toksah kaminawk, Angraeng to tahamhoihaih paek oh; Aw ka hinghaih, Angraeng to tahamhoihaih paek ah.
Praise the Lord, everything in his creation, everyone under his rule, and let every part of me praise the Lord!
