Psalms 138

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

Kathutkung: Devit Oe BAWIPA, kai teh nange pahrennae hah ka lungthin abuemlahoi ka pholen han, cathutnaw hmalah nang koe pholennae la ka sak han.

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.

Kai teh nange kathounge Bawkim koelah kangvawi laihoi ka bawk vaiteh, nange pahrenlungmanae hoi nange lawkkatang hanelah, na Min teh ka pholen.

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

Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang teh nama ni na dei e naw hah na min onae lathueng vah na tawm toe. Kai ni na kawnae hnin navah, nang ni na pato teh, ka hringnae teh tha hoi na kawisak.

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

Oe BAWIPA talai van e siangpahrang pueng ni, nange lawk a thai awh toteh, na pholen awh han.

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

BAWIPA e lamthungnaw dawk la a sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e bawilennae teh a len poung.

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

Atangcalah BAWIPA teh arasang ei nakunghai, ka rahnoum e naw hah a khetyawt. Hatei, kâoupnaw teh ahlanae koehoi a panue toe.

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.

Kai teh runae um ka cet ei nakunghai, Bawipa ni na hring sak han. Bawipa ni a kut dâw vaiteh, ka tarannaw e lungkhueknae hah ngang vaiteh, Bawipa e aranglae kut hoi kai hah na rungngang han.

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

BAWIPA ni kai hanlah a noenae a kuep sak han. Oe BAWIPA nange pahrenlungmanae teh a kangning. Na kut hoi na sak e naw heh hnoun hanh lah a.
