< Psalms 138 >
1 [By David.] I will give you thanks, YHWH, with my whole heart. Before the gods I will sing praises to you.
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 will bow down toward your holy temple, and give thanks to your Name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have exalted your Name and your word above all.
Kai teh nange kathounge Bawkim koelah kangvawi laihoi ka bawk vaiteh, nange pahrenlungmanae hoi nange lawkkatang hanelah, na Min teh ka pholen.
3 In the day that I called, you answered me. You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
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 give you thanks, YHWH, for they have heard the words of your mouth.
Oe BAWIPA talai van e siangpahrang pueng ni, nange lawk a thai awh toteh, na pholen awh han.
5 Yes, they will sing of the ways of YHWH; for great is YHWH's glory.
BAWIPA e lamthungnaw dawk la a sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e bawilennae teh a len poung.
6 For though YHWH is high, yet he looks after the lowly; but the proud, he knows from afar.
Atangcalah BAWIPA teh arasang ei nakunghai, ka rahnoum e naw hah a khetyawt. Hatei, kâoupnaw teh ahlanae koehoi a panue toe.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch forth your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save 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 YHWH will fulfill that which concerns me; your loving kindness, YHWH, endures forever. Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
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.
