Psalms 40
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. I Waited paciently for the Lord, and he inclined vnto me, and heard my cry.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih Saam laa. Angraeng to palungsawkhaih hoiah ka zing pongah, anih loe kai khaeah angqoi moe, ka qahhaih lok to ang tahngaih pae.
2 Hee brought mee also out of the horrible pit, out of the myrie clay, and set my feete vpon the rocke, and ordered my goings.
Anih mah tangnong kathuk, zitthok tangqom thung hoiah ang zuh tahang, ka khok lungsong nuiah ang koengsak moe, ka caehhaih loklam to ang caksak.
3 And he hath put in my mouth a new song of praise vnto our God: many shall see it and feare, and shall trust in the Lord.
Anih mah aicae Sithaw saphawhaih laa kangtha to ka pakha ah ang paek: to hmuen to kanoih parai kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, zithaih tawn o ueloe, Angraeng tanghaih to tawn o tih.
4 Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and regardeth not the proude, nor such as turne aside to lyes.
Amoek kami thapaek ai, kami aling hanah lam amkhraeng kami to khen ai ah, Angraeng tanghaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
5 O Lord my God, thou hast made thy wonderfull workes so many, that none can count in order to thee thy thoughts toward vs: I would declare, and speake of them, but they are moe then I am able to expresse.
Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, kaicae han nang sak pae ih dawnrai hmuennawk hoi na poekhaihnawk loe pop parai; ka thui laek mak ai: ka kroek aep to mah kroek thai mak ai.
6 Sacrifice and offering thou didest not desire: (for mine eares hast thou prepared) burnt offring and sinne offering hast thou not required.
Nang loe angbawnhaih hoi hmuen paekhaih to na koeh ai; ka naa hae nang khawsak boeh: hmai angbawnhaih hoi zae angbawnhaih to na hni ai.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: for in the rolle of the booke it is written of me,
To naah kai mah, cabu tangoeng thungah kai kawng tarik o baktih toengah, khenah, kang zoh boeh,
8 I desired to doe thy good will, O my God: yea, thy Lawe is within mine heart.
Aw ka Sithaw, na koehhaih sak han ka koeh, ue, nang ih kaalok loe ka palung thungah oh, tiah ka thuih.
9 I haue declared thy righteousnesse in the great Congregation: loe, I will not refraine my lippes: O Lord, thou knowest.
Kanoih parai kaminawk khaeah toenghaih kawng to ka thuih: khenah, Aw Angraeng, ka pahni hae ka tamuep ai, tito na panoek.
10 I haue not hidde thy righteousnesse within mine heart, but I haue declared thy trueth and thy saluation: I haue not conceiled thy mercy and thy trueth from the great Congregation.
Na toenghaih ka palung thungah ka hawk ai; na oepthohhaih hoi na pahlonghaih to ka thuih boeh: pop parai kaminawk hmaa ah nam lunghaih hoi tangtang na lok to taphong ai ah ka om ai.
11 Withdrawe not thou thy tender mercie from mee, O Lord: let thy mercie and thy trueth alway preserue me.
Aw Angraeng, na tahmenhaih to pakaa ving hmah: nam lunghaih hoi na loktang lok mah na toep poe nasoe.
12 For innumerable troubles haue compassed mee: my sinnes haue taken such holde vpon me, that I am not able to looke vp: yea, they are moe in nomber then the heares of mine head: therefore mine heart hath failed me.
Kroek laek ai sethaihnawk mah kai ang takui o khoep boeh: ka sakpazaehaihnawk mah kai ang zaeng khoep boeh pongah, ka mik amtueng ai boeh; nihcae loe ka lu nui ih samnawk pongah doeh pop o kue: to pongah palung ka boeng sut boeh.
13 Let it please thee, O Lord, to deliuer mee: make haste, O Lord, to helpe me.
Aw Angraeng, kai pahlong han anghoe ah: Aw Angraeng, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo ah.
14 Let them be confounded and put to shame together, that seeke my soule to destroye it: let them be driuen backward and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.
Ka hinghaih lak han pakrong kaminawk loe azatpaw o nasoe loe, dawnrai anghmanghaih hoiah om o nasoe: kai amrosak koeh kaminawk loe azatpaw o nasoe loe, palung boenghaih hoiah hnukbangah amlaem o nasoe.
15 Let them be destroyed for a rewarde of their shame, which say vnto me, Aha, aha.
Kai hanah Aha! aha! tiah pahnui thuih kaminawk loe, azat loiah khosak anghmang o sut nasoe.
16 Let all them, that seeke thee, reioyce and be glad in thee: and let them, that loue thy saluation, say alway, The Lord be praysed.
Nang pakrong kaminawk boih loe, nang ah anghoe o nasoe loe, poeknawm o nasoe: na pahlonghaih koeh kaminawk mah, Angraeng loe lensawkhaih om nasoe, tiah thui o poe nasoe.
17 Though I be poore and needie, the Lord thinketh on mee: thou art mine helper and my deliuerer: my God, make no tarying.
Toe kai loe amtang kami ah ka oh; Angraeng mah kai hanah kho ang poek pae: nang loe kai bomkung hoi pahlongkung ah na oh; Aw ka Sithaw, akra hmah.
