Psalms 40
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. I have waited expectantly for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
I AUIAUIER Ieowa, o a kotin iroir don ia o kotin erekier ai likelikwir.
2 And he heard my prayers and he led me out of the pit of misery and the quagmire. And he stationed my feet upon a rock, and he directed my steps.
A kotin api ia da jan nan por jued o jan waja lujujur, o kotin kajonedier na i kat pon paip eu, pwen kak alu mau;
3 And he sent a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many will see, and they will fear; and they will hope in the Lord.
O a kotiki on nan au ai kaul kap pot, pwen kapina atail Kot; i me aramaj toto pan udial ap lan Ieowa o kaporoporeki i.
4 Blessed is the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and who has no respect for vanities and absurd falsehoods.
Meid pai ol o me kaporoporeki Ieowa o jota waroki on me aklapalap akan, de me weweid nin tiak likam!
5 You have accomplished your many wonders, O Lord my God, and there is no one similar to you in your thoughts. I have announced and I have spoken: they are multiplied beyond number.
Main ai Kot, meid kapuriamui japwilim omui dodok kan o omui madamadaua, me komui kotin kajale on kit. Jota me rajon komui. I men kaparok o kajokajoi duen, a re jota mau on wadok.
6 Sacrifice and oblation, you did not want. But you have perfected ears for me. Holocaust and sin offering, you did not require.
Kom jota kotin kupura mairon man de mairon wan tuka kan; a kom kotin kawajak pajan jalon ai; kom jota kotin mauki mairon ijij de mairon en dip.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I draw near.” At the head of the book, it has been written of me:
Nai ap inda: Kilan, I kokodo; nan puk o me intinidier duen nai.
8 that I should do your will. My God, I have willed it. And your law is in the midst of my heart.
I men kapwaiada kupur omui, ai Kot; o japwilim omui kapun o mi nan lol en monion i.
9 I have announced your justice in a great Church: behold, I will not restrain my lips. O Lord, you have known it.
I pan padaki on momodijou laud duen me pun. Kilan, i jota pan nenenla, Main kom kotin mani.
10 I have not concealed your justice within my heart. I have spoken your truth and your salvation. I have not concealed your mercy and your truth from a great assembly.
I jota okila omui pun nan monion i. I kin kapakaparok duen omui melel o maur, i jota kin okila omui kalanan o melel mon momodijou laud.
11 O Lord, do not take your tender mercies far from me. Your mercy and your truth ever sustain me.
A komui Main der kotiki jan ia omui kalanan, omui kalanan o melel en jinjila ia anjau karoj.
12 For evils without number have surrounded me. My iniquities have taken hold of me, and I was not able to see. They have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. And my heart has forsaken me.
Pwe ai kalokolok kapil ia pena, o re jota mau on wadok; dip ai katoutou ia, i ap jolar kilan waja; ir me toto jan pit en mon ai, ap jolar anian.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me. Look down, O Lord, to help me.
Kom kotin kupura ia Main, o kotin dore ia la; Main kom kotin jauaja madan!
14 Let them together be confounded and awed, who seek after my soul to steal it away. Let them be turned back and be in awe, who wish evils upon me.
Me kin majamajan ia, pwen kame ia la, en namenokala o lijela; me men wia jued on ia, en purewei o lijela.
15 Let them bear their confusion all at once, who say to me, “Well, well.”
Ir me kin likelikwirki due ai: “Io, io!” en majak o lijela.
16 Let all who seek you exult and rejoice over you. And let those who love your salvation always say, “May the Lord be magnified.”
Karoj me idok komui, en pereperen o popol. O me pok on omui maur, anjau karoj ren inda: Meid kapinan Ieowa!
17 But I am a beggar and poor. The Lord has been concerned about me. You are my helper and my protector. My God, do not delay.
Pwe nai jamama o luet; a Ieowa kin kotin apwali ia. Komui jauaj pa i o ai jaundor; ai Kot, kom der kotin pwand!
