1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. Saam laa. Long boih, anghoehaih hoi Sithaw khaeah hang oh!
For the Chief Musician. A song. A Psalm. Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
2 Anih ih ahmin lensawkhaih laa to sah oh loe, lensawk parai ah pakoeh oh!
Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!
3 Sithaw khaeah, na sak ih hmuennawk loe kawkkruk maw dawnrai han oh! Na misanawk loe kalen parai na thacakhaih hoiah na hmaa ah tabok o tih, tiah thui oh.
Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
4 Longnawk boih mah nang to bok o ueloe, nang saphawhaih laa to sah o tih; na hmin saphawhaih laa to sah o tih. (Selah)
All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” (Selah)
5 Angzo oh loe, Sithaw mah sak ih hmuennawk to khen oh; kaminawk salakah a sak ih hmuennawk loe anghmang han koi oh.
Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
6 Anih mah tuipui to saoeng ah angcoengsak; to naah kaminawk loe tui ohhaih ahmuen ah khok hoiah caeh o, kaicae loe anih ah anghoehaih ka tawnh o.
He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
7 Anih mah a thacakhaih hoiah dungzan khoek to uk; a mik hoiah kaminawk boih to khet; misa koeh kaminawk loe amoek o hmah nasoe. (Selah)
He rules by his might forever. His eyes watch the nations. Do not let the rebellious rise up against him. (Selah)
8 Aw kaminawk boih, kaicae ih Sithaw hae tahamhoihaih paek oh; kangthaih ah anih to saphaw oh;
Praise our God, you peoples! Make the sound of his praise heard,
9 Anih mah aicae hinghaih to patawnh moe, aicae ih khok doeh amthaeksak ai.
who preserves our life among the living, and does not allow our feet to be moved.
10 Aw Sithaw, kaicae hae nang tanoek boeh; sumkanglung to hmai hoiah pakaw ih baktiah, kaicae hae nang tanoek boeh.
For you, God, have tested us. You have refined us, as silver is refined.
11 Palok pongah nang mansak moe, hmuenzit nang phawhsak.
You brought us into prison. You laid a burden on our backs.
12 Kaicae lu nuiah kaminawk to nang thuengsak; hmai hoiah tui thungah ka caeh o; toe angraenghaih ahmuen ah nang hoih.
You allowed men to ride over our heads. We went through fire and through water, but you brought us to the place of abundance.
13 Kai loe hmai angbawnhaih hoiah na im ah ka caeh han; nang khaeah ka sak ih lokmaihaih baktiah ka ohsak han,
I will come into your temple with burnt offerings. I will pay my vows to you,
14 raihaih ka tongh naah, ka pahni mah to tiah lokkamhaih to sak moe, ka pakha mah lok a thuih.
which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.
15 Kathawk moi hoiah nang khaeah hmai angbawnhaih ka sak moe, hmuihoih ah tuunawk to kang paek han; maitaw taenawk hoi maeh taenawk doeh kang paek han. (Selah)
I will offer to you burnt offerings of fat animals, with the offering of rams, I will offer bulls with goats. (Selah)
16 Nangcae, Sithaw zii kaminawk, angzo oh loe tahngai oh; ka hinghaih nuiah anih mah sak ih hmuen kawng to kang thuih o han.
Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.
17 Ka pakha hoiah anih khaeah ka hang moe, ka palai hoiah anih to ka pakoeh boeh.
I cried to him with my mouth. He was extolled with my tongue.
18 Palung thungah zaehaih ka suek poe nahaeloe, Angraeng mah ka lok hae tahngai mak ai;
If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.
19 toe Sithaw mah ka lok ang tahngai pae tangtang; lawk ka thuihaih lok to ang tahngaih pae.
But most certainly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.
20 Lawk ka thuihaih anghmasak ai, ka nuiah suek ih a palungnathaih to apet ai, Sithaw khaeah tahamhoihaih om nasoe!
Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his loving kindness from me.
