Psalms 89
1 “A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrachite.” The kindnesses of the Lord will I for ever sing: from generation to generation will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth.
Ezrahite Ethan ih Maskil. Angraeng palungnathaih to dungzan khoek to laa ah ka sak han; na oepthohhaih to kaminawk boih khaeah ka pakha hoi roe ka thuih han.
2 For I have said, To eternity will kindness be built up: the heavens—yea, in these wilt thou establish thy faithfulness.
Palungnathaih loe dungzan khoek to caak tih; vannawk boih nuiah na oepthohhaih to na caksak tih.
3 “I have made a covenant with my elect, I have sworn unto David my servant,
Ka qoih ih kami hoiah lokmaihaih to ka sak moe, ka tamna David khaeah lokmaihaih to ka sak boeh,
4 Unto eternity will I establish thy seed, and I will build up thy throne, from generation to generation.” (Selah)
na tii to dungzan khoek to ka caksak moe, na caanawk ih adung khoek to na angraeng tangkhang to ka caksak han, tiah na thuih. (Selah)
5 And the heavens praise thy wonder, O Lord: also thy faithfulness in the assembly of holy ones.
Aw Angraeng, na sak ih dawnrai hmuennawk to vannawk mah saphaw o ueloe, na oepthohhaih doeh kaciim kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah saphaw o tih.
6 For who in the sky can be compared unto the Lord? who can be likened unto the Lord among the sons of the mighty?
Van ah Angraeng hoi patah han koi mi maw kaom? Thacak kami ih capanawk thungah Angraeng baktiah mi maw kaom?
7 God is greatly terrific in the secret council of the holy ones and fear-inspiring over all that are about him.
Kaciim kaminawk amkhuenghaih ahmuen ah loe Angraeng to paroeai zit o; anih loe ataeng ah kaom kaminawk pongah khingya paek han koi ah oh.
8 O Lord God of hosts, who is powerful, like thee, Eternal! and thy faithfulness is round about thee.
Aw misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw, nang baktih thacak Angraeng mi maw om tih? Na oepthohhaih mah nang to ang takui.
9 Thou rulest over the pride of the sea: when its waves are lifted up, thou assuagest them.
Nang mah tuipui to na uk; tuiphu angthawk tahang naah, tuiphu to na dipsak.
10 Thou didst crush Rahab as one that is slain: with thy strong arm didst thou scatter thy enemies.
Hum ih kami baktiah, Rahab to na taprawt pet pet moe, na ban thacakhaih hoiah na misanawk to na vah phaeng.
11 Thine are the heavens, also thine is the earth: as for the world and what filleth it, thou hast founded them.
Vannawk loe nang ih hmuen ah oh o, long doeh nang ih ni; long hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk boih loe, nang mah ni na sak.
12 The north and the south—these hast thou created: Tabor and Chermon shall rejoice in thy name.
Aluek hoi aloih to na sak; Tarbo hoi Hermon loe na hmin rang hoiah anghoe tih.
13 Thine is the powerful arm, with might: strong is thy hand, and exalted is thy right hand.
Na ban loe thacakhaih hoiah koi; na ban loe thacak moe, na bantang ban loe sang.
14 Righteousness and justice are the prop of thy throne: kindness and truth precede thy presence.
Katoengah lokcaekhaih hoi toenghaih loe na angraeng tangkhang ohhaih ahmuen ah oh; tahmenhaih hoi loktang loe na hmaa ah caeh tih.
15 Happy is the people that know the cornet's sound: O Lord, in the light of thy countenance will they ever walk firmly.
Anghoehaih lok panoek kaminawk loe tahamhoih! Aw Angraeng, nihcae loe na hmaa ah aanghaih hoiah caeh o.
16 In thy name will they be glad all the day, and in thy righteousness will they be exalted.
Nihcae loe na hmin rang hoiah ni thokkruek anghoe o; na toenghaih rang hoiah ni nihcae mah pakoeh o.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength; and through thy favor will our horn be exalted.
Nang loe nihcae lensawkhaih hoi thacakhaih ah na oh; nang tahmenhaih rang hoiah ni kaicae ih taki loe pakoeh ah oh.
18 For of the Lord is our shield; and of the Holy One of Israel is our king.
Kaicae abuephaih loe Angraeng ih ni; Ciimcai Israelnawk ih kami loe kaicae ih siangpahrang ah oh.
19 Then spokest thou in a vision to thy pious [servant], and saidst, “I have bestowed help to one that is mighty; I have exalted a youth out of the people;
Hnuksakhaih hoiah nangmah ih kaciim kami khaeah lok na thuih; thacak kami abomh hanah kang paek boeh; kaminawk thung hoi qoih ih kami maeto ka sangsak boeh.
20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him;
Ka tamna David to ka hnuk boeh; anih loe kaciim kaimah ih situi hoiah ka bawh boeh,
21 With whom my hand shall be firmly established; also my arm shall strengthen him;
anih nuiah ka ban thacak tih; ka ban tampawk hoiah anih tha ka caksak han.
22 The enemy shall not exact from him like a lender: and the son of injustice shall not afflict him:
Misa mah anih ih hmuen to lomh pae mak ai; kasae kami ih ca mah doeh anih to pacaekthlaek mak ai.
23 And I will beat down before his face his assailants, and those that hate him will I plague.
Anih hmaa ah a misanawk to ka boh pae moe, anih hnuma kaminawk to raihaih ka paek han.
24 But my faithfulness and my kindness shall be with him: and through my name shall his horn be exalted.
Ka oepthohhaih hoi ka palungnathaih anih khaeah om ueloe, ka hmin rang hoiah anih ih taki to pakoeh tih.
25 And I will place on the sea his hand, and on the rivers his right hand.
Anih ih ban loe tuipui nuiah ka suek pae moe, a bantang ban to vapuinawk nuiah ka koeng pae han.
26 He will call unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.
Anih mah, Nang loe kam pa, ka Sithaw, ka pahlonghaih lungsong, tiah na kawk tih.
27 Also I will appoint my first-born, the highest among the kings of the earth.
Anih to long siangpahrangnawk pongah sang kue, anih to ka calu ah ka suek han.
28 For evermore will I keep for him my kindness, and my covenant shall stand faithfully with him.
Anih hanah ka palungnathaih dungzan khoek to ka suek han; ka lokmaihaih loe a nuiah cak poe tih.
29 And I appoint for ever his seed, and his throne as the days of heaven.
Anih ih atii to dungzan khoek to ka caksak moe, van oh nathung anih anghnuthaih angraeng tangkhang to ka caksak poe han.
30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my ordinances;
A caanawk mah ka paek ih kaalok caeh o taak moe, ka lokcaekhaih baktiah caeh o ai ah,
31 If they profane my statutes, and keep not my commandments:
ka thuih ih loknawk to aek o moe, ka paek ih loknawk to pazui o ai nahaeloe,
32 Then will I visit with the rod their transgressions, and with plagues their iniquity.
a sakpazaehaihnawk pongah thingboeng hoiah ka thuitaek moe, a sakpazae o haih baktih toengah dan ka paek han.
33 Nevertheless my kindness will I not make utterly void from him, and I will not act falsely against my faithfulness.
Toe kai ih tahmen amlunghaih to anih khae hoiah ka la pae ving mak ai, ka oepthohhaih doeh kam rosak mak ai.
34 I will not profane my covenant, and what is gone out of my lips will I not alter.
Ka sak ih lokmaihaih to kam rosak mak ai, pakha hoi ka thuih ih lok doeh kam khraisak mak ai.
35 One thing have I sworn by my holiness, that I will not lie unto David.
David khaeah lok kam lai mak ai, tiah ka ciimhaih hoi vaito ka khawt ah lok ka kam boeh.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne shall be like the sun before me.
Anih ih atii loe cak poe ueloe, anih ih angraeng tangkhang loe ka hmaa ih ni baktiah om tih.
37 Like the moon shall it be firmly established for ever, and as this faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)
Khrah baktiah cak poe ueloe, van ih oepthok hnukung baktiah om tih. (Selah)
38 And yet thou hast east off and despised, thou hast become wroth with thy anointed.
Toe nang mah nang pahnawt sut boeh moe, nang panuet boeh, situi na bawh ih kami nuiah palung na phui boeh.
39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned, down to the ground, his crown.
Na tamna hoiah sak ih lokmaihaih to na pahnawt sut boeh moe, anih ih angraeng lumuek to panuet kaom long ah na vah pae ving boeh.
40 Thou hast broken down all his fences: thou hast brought his strong-holds to terror.
Anih ih sipaenawk to na phraek pae boih boeh; anih ih kacak sipaenawk doeh nam rosak boeh.
41 All that pass by the way plunder him: he is become a reproach to his neighbors.
Loklam ah caeh kaminawk mah anih to lomh o; anih loe ataeng ah kaom kaminawk kasaethuih han koi ah oh.
42 Thou hast raised up the right hand of his assailants: thou hast caused all his enemies to rejoice.
A misanawk ih bantang ban to na toengh pae tahang; a misanawk boih to nang hoesak boeh.
43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not let him stand erect in the battle.
Anih ih sumsen haa to na paqoi pae ving boeh; anih misatuk naah nang doe haih ai boeh.
44 Thou hast made his brilliancy cease; and his throne hast thou thrown down to the ground.
A lensawkhaih to na boengsak moe, anih ih angraeng tangkhang to long ah na vah pae ving boeh.
45 Thou hast shortened the days of his youth: thou hast enshrouded him with shame. (Selah)
A qoeng li naah aninawk to na duemsak; azathaih hoiah anih to na khuk khoep boeh. (Selah)
46 How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself, continually? how long shall thy fury burn like fire?
Nasetto maw? Aw Angraeng, nang hawk poe han boeh maw? Palung na phuihaih hmai baktiah kangh tih maw?
47 Remember [what] I am, what my duration is [here], for what nothingness thou hast created all sons of men!
Ka hinghaih loe nasetto maw duemh, tito panoek ah; na sak ih kaminawk loe azom pui ah ni oh o.
48 What man is there that can live, and shall not see death? that can deliver his soul from the power of the nether word? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Kawbaktih kami maw duekhaih tongh ai ah hing thaih? Anih loe taprong thacakhaih thung hoiah a hinghaih pahlong thai tih maw? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 Where are thy former kindnesses, O Lord, which thou hast sworn unto David by thy truth?
Aw Angraeng, loktang lok hoiah na tamna David khaeah na sak ih lokmaihaih hoi canghnii ih na tahmenhaih to naah maw oh ving boeh?
50 Remember, Lord, the disgrace of thy servants; that I bear in my bosom the [burden] of all the many nations;
Angraeng, na tamnanawk pahnuithuihhaih to pakuem poe ah; thacak kaminawk boih mah kasaethuihaih to palung thung hoi kawbang maw ka pauep, tito panoek ah,
51 That thy enemies have defied, O Lord; that they have defied the footsteps of thy anointed.
Aw Angraeng, na misanawk mah kasae a thuih o; nihcae loe nangmah na caksak kami ih khok tangkannawk to pahnui o thuih boeh.
52 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
Angraeng khaeah tahamhoihaih dungzan khoek to om nasoe! Amen hoi Amen.
