Psalms 146

1 Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.

Angraeng to pakoeh ah. Aw ka hinghaih, Angraeng to pakoeh ah.

2 While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

Ka hing thung Angraeng to ka pakoeh han; ka hing thung boih ka Sithaw pakoehhaih laa to ka sak han.

3 Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

long angraengnawk to oep hmah, kami doeh oep hmah; nihcae mah abomh o thai mak ai.

4 Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

Nihcae loe duek naah long ah ni amlaem o let; to naah nihcae poekhaihnawk boih to anghmat.

5 Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

Jakob ih Sithaw to bomkung ah suem kami, a oephaih to angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw khaeah suem kami loe tahamhoih,

6 Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

Anih mah ni long hoi van, tuipui hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk boih to sak; anih loe dungzan khoek to oepthoh;

7 Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;

pacaekthlaek ih kaminawk to toenghaih hoiah lok a caek; zok amthlam kaminawk to buh a paek. Angraeng mah ni thongkrah kaminawk to loisak.

8 The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;

Angraeng mah mikmaengnawk to mik amtuengsak moe, poek pahnaem kaminawk to tapom tahang; katoeng kaminawk to Angraeng mah palung.

9 The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

Angraeng mah angvinnawk to toep moe, ampa tawn ai kami hoi lamhmainawk to pacah; toe kasae kaminawk ih loklam loe buenglueng tamlet ah ohsak.

10 The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.

Angraeng loe dungzan khoek to Angraeng ah om tih; Aw Zion, na Sithaw mah adungnawk boih khoek to uk tih. Angraeng to saphaw oh.
