< Psalms 138 >

1 David’s. I will give thee thanks with all my heart, Before the messengers of God, will I praise thee in song:
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 towards thy holy temple, and thank thy Name, for thy lovingkindness and for thy faithfulness, For thou hast magnified, above all thy Name, thy word!
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 I cried unto thee, then didst thou answer me, and didst excite me, in my soul, mightily.
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 thank thee, O Yahweh, when they have heard the sayings of thy mouth;
Oe BAWIPA talai van e siangpahrang pueng ni, nange lawk a thai awh toteh, na pholen awh han.
5 And they will sing of the ways of Yahweh, That great is the glory of Yahweh:
BAWIPA e lamthungnaw dawk la a sak awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e bawilennae teh a len poung.
6 Though lofty is Yahweh, yet, the lowly, he regardeth, but, the haughty—afar off, doth he acknowledge.
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 distress, thou wilt give me life, —Because of the anger of my foes, thou wilt thrust forth thy hand, and thy 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 Yahweh, will carry through my cause, —O Yahweh! thy lovingkindness, is age-abiding, The works of thine own hands, do not thou desert.
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.
