Psalms 138

1 A psalm of David. I thank you with my whole being; I sing your praises before the heavenly beings.

Aw Bawipa, kak kawlung boeih ing nang ce nim kyihcah vang; “khawsakhqi” haiawh nang kyihcahnaak laa sa vang nyng.

2 I bow down before your holy Temple, and I am thankful because of who you are—for your trustworthy love and faithfulness—and for the fact that your promises are even greater than what people expect of you.

Nang a bawkim ciim benna koep nyng seitaw, na lungnaak ingkaw na ypawmnaak awh nang ming ce kyihcah vang, kawtih ing nang ming ing na lungnaak ce ik-oeih boeih ak khan awh zoeksang hawh hyk ti.

3 On the day I cried out to you for help, you answered me. You encouraged me and made me strong.

Kai ing ka nik khy awh, nang ing nim hlat hyk ti; ka qaal ni leek sak nawh kak kaw awm sak hyk ti.

4 All the kings of the earth will praise you, Lord, for they have heard what you have said.

Aw Bawipa, khawmdek awhkaw sangpahrangkhqi boeih ing, nam kha awhkaw awi a ming zaak awh nang ce nim kyih u seh.

5 They will sing about what the Lord has done and about the great glory of the Lord.

Bawipa a boeimangnaak taw a bau soeih a dawngawh, a lamkhqi ce laa na sa u seh.

6 Though the Lord is high above, he pays attention to the lowly; but he recognizes the proud a long way off.

Bawipa taw hun sang na awm hlai hy, kaw ak dungkhqi ce toek hy, cehlai ak oek qu ak thlang taw ak hla na awm taak hy.

7 Even though I walk into a great deal of trouble, you protect me. You reach out to defend me from the anger of those who hate me—your strong hand saves me.

Kyinaak anglak li awh cet nyng awm, nang ing ka hqingnaak khoem law hyk ti; ak kaw ak so ka qaal benna kut zyng law nawh, nak tang ben kut ing ni hul hyk ti.

8 The Lord vindicates me! Lord, your trustworthy love lasts forever! Don't give up on what you have made!

Bawipa ing kai aham cainaak a taak ce soep law sak kaw; Aw Bawipa; na lungnaak taw kumqui dy cak hy – na kut sai ce koeh qoeng hyt.
