Psalms 40
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA teh lungsaw laihoi ka ring. Kai koe lah a kamlang teh, ka hram e lawk hah a thai.
2 And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
Rawknae tangkom hoi tangdong thung hoi na rasa. Ka khok hah talung van a hruek teh, kacaklah na kangdue sak.
3 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.
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.
4 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
Ka kâoupnaw hoi cathutkaphawk koe lah lam kaphennaw koe lam ka phen hoeh niteh, BAWIPA ka kâuepnaw teh tami yawkahawi e doeh.
5 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
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.
6 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:
Thuengnae hoi poenae hah na ngai e nahoeh. Hmaisawi thuengnae hoi yon thuengnae hah na hei e nahoeh. Ka hnâ teh na ang sak.
7 Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
Hatnavah, khenhaw! cakalawng dawk kaie kong thut e patetlah kai teh ka tho.
8 That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
Oe Cathut, na lungngai sak e heh ka konawmnae doeh. Na kâlawk hai ka lungthung vah ao.
9 I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
Kalenpounge kamkhuengnae koe vah, lannae kamthang hah ka pâpho toe. Dei hanelah ka kâcakuep hoeh. Oe BAWIPA, nang nama ni roeroe na panue doeh.
10 I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
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.
11 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
Oe BAWIPA, ngai kaawm e na lungmanae teh na pasoung laipalah awm hoeh. Na pahrennae hoi na lawkkatang ni, pout laipalah na ngue lawiseh.
12 For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.
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.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.
Oe BAWIPA, pahren lahoi na rungngang haw. Oe BAWIPA, karanglah na kabawm haw.
14 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.
Ka hringnae raphoe hanlah katawngnaw teh, kaya laihoi awm awh naseh. Kai thoenae dueng kangainaw teh, kaya laihoi pâlei lah awm naseh.
15 Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
Eheh, Eheh, katetnaw hah a pouknae kadeng lah kayak awh naseh.
16 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
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.
17 But I am a beggar and poor: the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector: O my God, be not slack.
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.
