Sam 40

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA teh lungsaw laihoi ka ring. Kai koe lah a kamlang teh, ka hram e lawk hah a thai.

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

2 Rawknae tangkom hoi tangdong thung hoi na rasa. Ka khok hah talung van a hruek teh, kacaklah na kangdue sak.

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

3 Maimae Cathut pholennae la katha hah ka pahni dawk a hruek. Tamimaya ni hot hah hmawt vaiteh, a taki awh vaiteh, BAWIPA a kâuep awh han.

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

4 Ka kâoupnaw hoi cathutkaphawk koe lah lam kaphennaw koe lam ka phen hoeh niteh, BAWIPA ka kâuepnaw teh tami yawkahawi e doeh.

Blessed is the man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5 Oe BAWIPA kaie Cathut, kângairu hno na sak e naw hoi, kaimouh hanlah na pouk e naw hah moi apap. Na hmalah boeba hai ka dei thai lek hoeh. Ka dei vaiteh, ka pâpho pawiteh, touk thai e hloilah doeh ao.

Many, O LORD my God, are the wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be set in order unto thee; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

6 Thuengnae hoi poenae hah na ngai e nahoeh. Hmaisawi thuengnae hoi yon thuengnae hah na hei e nahoeh. Ka hnâ teh na ang sak.

Sacrifice and offering thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

7 Hatnavah, khenhaw! cakalawng dawk kaie kong thut e patetlah kai teh ka tho.

Then said I, Lo, I am come; in the roll of the book it is written of me:

8 Oe Cathut, na lungngai sak e heh ka konawmnae doeh. Na kâlawk hai ka lungthung vah ao.

I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart.

9 Kalenpounge kamkhuengnae koe vah, lannae kamthang hah ka pâpho toe. Dei hanelah ka kâcakuep hoeh. Oe BAWIPA, nang nama ni roeroe na panue doeh.

I have published righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I will not refrain my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.

10 Na lannae teh, ka lungthung vah ka hro teh, yuemkamculah na onae hoi na rungngangnae hah ouk ka pâpho. Puenghoi kamkhuengnae koe na pahrennae hoi na lawkkatang teh duem kaawm khai thai hoeh.

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

11 Oe BAWIPA, ngai kaawm e na lungmanae teh na pasoung laipalah awm hoeh. Na pahrennae hoi na lawkkatang ni, pout laipalah na ngue lawiseh.

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12 Bangkongtetpawiteh, touklek hoeh e runae ni na kalup, ka payonnae ni na tâ. Hatdawkvah, lathueng lah ka khen thai hoeh. Ka lû dawk e sam hlak apap. Hatdawkvah, ka lungthin teh a tâwn.

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 mine head, and my heart hath failed me.

13 Oe BAWIPA, pahren lahoi na rungngang haw. Oe BAWIPA, karanglah na kabawm haw.

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

14 Ka hringnae raphoe hanlah katawngnaw teh, kaya laihoi awm awh naseh. Kai thoenae dueng kangainaw teh, kaya laihoi pâlei lah awm naseh.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it: let them be turned backward and brought to dishonour that delight in my hurt.

15 Eheh, Eheh, katetnaw hah a pouknae kadeng lah kayak awh naseh.

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that say unto me, Aha, Aha.

16 Nang katawngnaw pueng teh, nang dawk konawm laihoi lunghawi awh naseh. Na rungngangnae ka lungpataw naw ni, BAWIPA teh tawmrasang lah awmseh telah pout laipalah tet awh naseh.

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 Kai teh tamimathoe hoi tamikavout doeh. Hatei, BAWIPA ni ouk na pouk. Nang teh na kabawmkung hoi rungngangkung doeh. Hnawngcawn hanh lawi a ka Cathut.

But I am poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
