Tingtoeng 40

1 Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung BOEIPA te ka lamtawn rhoela ka lamtawn dongah kai taengla ha hooi tih ka pang ol a yaak.

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2 Te dongah longlonah tangrhom, sihnok tangnong lamkah kai n'koeih tih ka kho te thaelpang dongla m'pai sak phoeiah ka khokan a cikngae sak.

He brought me up also out of the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, He established my goings.

3 Te phoeiah mamih Pathen koehnah ham laa thai te ka ka dongah han khueh tih a yet loh a hmuh uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih BOEIPA dongah pangtung uh ni.

And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

4 BOEIPA te amah kah pangtungnah la aka khueh hlang te a yoethen tih hlang oek neh laithae vilvak taengla mael pawh.

Happy is the man that hath made the LORD his trust, and hath not turned unto the arrogant, nor unto such as fall away treacherously.

5 Aw BOEIPA ka Pathen namah loh namah kah khobaerhambae muep na saii dongah kaimih ham na kopoek te nang taengah aka tae pawh. Ka puen tih ka thui te ka doek lakah tahoeng coeng.

Many things hast Thou done, O LORD my God, even Thy wonderful works, and Thy thoughts toward us; there is none to be compared unto Thee! If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be told.

6 Hmueih neh khosaa te na hmae moenih. Kai ham hna nan vueh tih hmueihhlutnah neh boirhaem khaw na hoe moenih.

Sacrifice and meal-offering Thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast Thou opened; burnt-offering and sin-offering hast Thou not required.

7 Te dongah, “Cabu cayol khuiah kai ham a daek bangla ka lo coeng tih

Then said I: 'Lo, I am come with the roll of a book which is prescribed for me;

8 Ka Boeipa Pathen na kolonah saii ham ka hmae tih na olkhueng loh ka ko khui ah om coeng he,” ka ti.

I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'

9 Duengnah te hlangping a yet taengah ka phong tih ka kam ka khuem pawt he BOEIPA namah loh na ming.

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation, lo, I did not refrain my lips; O LORD, Thou knowest.

10 Na duengnah te ka lungbuei khui ah ka thuh pawh. Na uepomnah neh loeihnah te ka thui coeng. Na sitlohnah neh uepomnah te hlangping a yet taengah ka phah pawh.

I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation; I have not concealed Thy mercy and Thy truth from the great congregation.

11 BOEIPA nang loh na haidamnah te, kai taengah na sihtaeh moenih. Na sitlohnah neh na oltak loh, kai n'kueinah yoeyah saeh.

Thou, O LORD, wilt not withhold Thy compassions from me; let Thy mercy and Thy truth continually preserve me.

12 Tae lek pawt hil ah yoethae loh kai taengah a li. Kamah kathaesainah loh kamah n'kae dogah sawt la huut pawh. Ka lu dongkah sam lakah yet tih ka lungbuei ka tlo-oeng sut.

For innumerable evils have compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me.

13 Aw BOEIPA, kai huul ham te m'moeithen mai dae. Aw BOEIPA, kai bomkung la ha tawn uh dae.

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me.

14 Ka hinglu khoengvoep ham aka mae rhoek te yak uh saeh lamtah a hmai tal uh boeih saeh. Kai kah yoethae aka omtoem rhoek khaw a hnuk la balkhong uh saeh lamtah a hmaithae uh saeh.

Let them be ashamed and abashed together that seek after my soul to sweep it away; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.

15 Amih kah yahpohnah dongah kai te, “Ahuei ah uei,” aka ti rhoek te hal uh saeh.

Let them be appalled by reason of their shame that say unto me: 'Aha, aha.'

16 Nang aka tlap boeih namah dongah a ngaingaih la a kohoe uh saeh lamtah namah kah loeihnah aka ngaih rhoek tah, “BOEIPA te pomsang pai saeh,” ti uh yoeyah saeh.

Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'The LORD be magnified.'

17 Ka mangdaeng tih ka khodaeng dae kai he Boeipa loh n'thoelh nawn saeh. Kai kah bomkung neh kai aka hlawt ka Pathen nang na uelh moenih.

But, as for me, that am poor and needy, the Lord will account it unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O my God, tarry not.
