Psalms 138

1 By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the gods I do praise Thee.

Aw Bawipa, kak kawlung boeih ing nang ce nim kyihcah vang; “khawsakhqi” haiawh nang kyihcahnaak laa sa vang nyng.

2 I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made great Thy saying above all Thy name.

Nang a bawkim ciim benna koep nyng seitaw, na lungnaak ingkaw na ypawmnaak awh nang ming ce kyihcah vang, kawtih ing nang ming ing na lungnaak ce ik-oeih boeih ak khan awh zoeksang hawh hyk ti.

3 In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost strengthen me in my soul [with] strength.

Kai ing ka nik khy awh, nang ing nim hlat hyk ti; ka qaal ni leek sak nawh kak kaw awm sak hyk ti.

4 O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have heard the sayings of Thy mouth.

Aw Bawipa, khawmdek awhkaw sangpahrangkhqi boeih ing, nam kha awhkaw awi a ming zaak awh nang ce nim kyih u seh.

5 And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the honour of Jehovah.

Bawipa a boeimangnaak taw a bau soeih a dawngawh, a lamkhqi ce laa na sa u seh.

6 For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the haughty from afar He knoweth.

Bawipa taw hun sang na awm hlai hy, kaw ak dungkhqi ce toek hy, cehlai ak oek qu ak thlang taw ak hla na awm taak hy.

7 If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me, Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand, And Thy right hand doth save me.

Kyinaak anglak li awh cet nyng awm, nang ing ka hqingnaak khoem law hyk ti; ak kaw ak so ka qaal benna kut zyng law nawh, nak tang ben kut ing ni hul hyk ti.

8 Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is] to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall!

Bawipa ing kai aham cainaak a taak ce soep law sak kaw; Aw Bawipa; na lungnaak taw kumqui dy cak hy – na kut sai ce koeh qoeng hyt.
