Psalms 89
1 A contemplation by Ethan, the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving kindness of the LORD forever. With my mouth, I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.
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 I indeed declare, “Love stands firm forever. You established the heavens. Your faithfulness is in them.”
Palungnathaih loe dungzan khoek to caak tih; vannawk boih nuiah na oepthohhaih to na caksak tih.
3 “I have made a covenant with my chosen one, I have sworn to David, my servant,
Ka qoih ih kami hoiah lokmaihaih to ka sak moe, ka tamna David khaeah lokmaihaih to ka sak boeh,
4 ‘I will establish your offspring forever, and build up your throne to all generations.’” (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 The heavens will praise your wonders, LORD, your faithfulness also in the assembly of the 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 skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like the LORD,
Van ah Angraeng hoi patah han koi mi maw kaom? Thacak kami ih capanawk thungah Angraeng baktiah mi maw kaom?
7 a very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, to be feared above all those who are around 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 LORD, God of Hosts, who is a mighty one, like you? LORD, your faithfulness is around you.
Aw misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng Sithaw, nang baktih thacak Angraeng mi maw om tih? Na oepthohhaih mah nang to ang takui.
9 You rule the pride of the sea. When its waves rise up, you calm them.
Nang mah tuipui to na uk; tuiphu angthawk tahang naah, tuiphu to na dipsak.
10 You have broken Rahab in pieces, like one of the slain. You have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
Hum ih kami baktiah, Rahab to na taprawt pet pet moe, na ban thacakhaih hoiah na misanawk to na vah phaeng.
11 The heavens are yours. The earth also is yours, the world and its fullness. You have 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 You have created the north and the south. Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your name.
Aluek hoi aloih to na sak; Tarbo hoi Hermon loe na hmin rang hoiah anghoe tih.
13 You have a mighty arm. Your hand is strong, and your right hand is exalted.
Na ban loe thacakhaih hoiah koi; na ban loe thacak moe, na bantang ban loe sang.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.
Katoengah lokcaekhaih hoi toenghaih loe na angraeng tangkhang ohhaih ahmuen ah oh; tahmenhaih hoi loktang loe na hmaa ah caeh tih.
15 Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, LORD.
Anghoehaih lok panoek kaminawk loe tahamhoih! Aw Angraeng, nihcae loe na hmaa ah aanghaih hoiah caeh o.
16 In your name they rejoice all day. In your righteousness, they are exalted.
Nihcae loe na hmin rang hoiah ni thokkruek anghoe o; na toenghaih rang hoiah ni nihcae mah pakoeh o.
17 For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will 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 our shield belongs to the LORD, our king to the Holy One of Israel.
Kaicae abuephaih loe Angraeng ih ni; Ciimcai Israelnawk ih kami loe kaicae ih siangpahrang ah oh.
19 Then you spoke in vision to your holy ones, and said, “I have given strength to the warrior. I have exalted a young man from 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. I have anointed him with my holy oil,
Ka tamna David to ka hnuk boeh; anih loe kaciim kaimah ih situi hoiah ka bawh boeh,
21 with whom my hand shall be established. My arm will also strengthen him.
anih nuiah ka ban thacak tih; ka ban tampawk hoiah anih tha ka caksak han.
22 No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.
Misa mah anih ih hmuen to lomh pae mak ai; kasae kami ih ca mah doeh anih to pacaekthlaek mak ai.
23 I will beat down his adversaries before him, and strike those who hate him.
Anih hmaa ah a misanawk to ka boh pae moe, anih hnuma kaminawk to raihaih ka paek han.
24 But my faithfulness and my loving kindness will be with him. In my name, his horn will be exalted.
Ka oepthohhaih hoi ka palungnathaih anih khaeah om ueloe, ka hmin rang hoiah anih ih taki to pakoeh tih.
25 I will set his hand also on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
Anih ih ban loe tuipui nuiah ka suek pae moe, a bantang ban to vapuinawk nuiah ka koeng pae han.
26 He will call to me, ‘You are 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 I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
Anih to long siangpahrangnawk pongah sang kue, anih to ka calu ah ka suek han.
28 I will keep my loving kindness for him forever more. My covenant will stand firm with him.
Anih hanah ka palungnathaih dungzan khoek to ka suek han; ka lokmaihaih loe a nuiah cak poe tih.
29 I will also make his offspring endure forever, 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 Torah, and don’t walk in my ordinances;
A caanawk mah ka paek ih kaalok caeh o taak moe, ka lokcaekhaih baktiah caeh o ai ah,
31 if they break my statutes, and don’t keep my commandments;
ka thuih ih loknawk to aek o moe, ka paek ih loknawk to pazui o ai nahaeloe,
32 then I will punish their sin with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
a sakpazaehaihnawk pongah thingboeng hoiah ka thuitaek moe, a sakpazae o haih baktih toengah dan ka paek han.
33 But I will not completely take my loving kindness from him, nor allow my faithfulness to fail.
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 break my covenant, nor alter what my lips have uttered.
Ka sak ih lokmaihaih to kam rosak mak ai, pakha hoi ka thuih ih lok doeh kam khraisak mak ai.
35 Once I have sworn by my holiness, I will not lie to David.
David khaeah lok kam lai mak ai, tiah ka ciimhaih hoi vaito ka khawt ah lok ka kam boeh.
36 His offspring will endure forever, his throne 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 It will be established forever like the moon, the faithful witness in the sky.” (Selah)
Khrah baktiah cak poe ueloe, van ih oepthok hnukung baktiah om tih. (Selah)
38 But you have rejected and spurned. You have been angry with your anointed.
Toe nang mah nang pahnawt sut boeh moe, nang panuet boeh, situi na bawh ih kami nuiah palung na phui boeh.
39 You have renounced the covenant of your servant. You have defiled his crown in the dust.
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 You have broken down all his hedges. You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
Anih ih sipaenawk to na phraek pae boih boeh; anih ih kacak sipaenawk doeh nam rosak boeh.
41 All who pass by the way rob him. He has 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 You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries. You have made all of his enemies rejoice.
A misanawk ih bantang ban to na toengh pae tahang; a misanawk boih to nang hoesak boeh.
43 Yes, you turn back the edge of his sword, and haven’t supported him in battle.
Anih ih sumsen haa to na paqoi pae ving boeh; anih misatuk naah nang doe haih ai boeh.
44 You have ended his splendor, and thrown his throne down to the ground.
A lensawkhaih to na boengsak moe, anih ih angraeng tangkhang to long ah na vah pae ving boeh.
45 You have shortened the days of his youth. You have covered 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? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?
Nasetto maw? Aw Angraeng, nang hawk poe han boeh maw? Palung na phuihaih hmai baktiah kangh tih maw?
47 Remember how short my time is, for what vanity you have created all the children 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 he who shall live and not see death, who shall deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? (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 Lord, where are your former loving kindnesses, which you swore to David in your faithfulness?
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 reproach of your servants, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the mighty peoples,
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 With which your enemies have mocked, LORD, with which they have mocked the footsteps of your anointed one.
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 forever more. Amen, and Amen.
Angraeng khaeah tahamhoihaih dungzan khoek to om nasoe! Amen hoi Amen.
