Psalm 144

1 [Psalm lal David] Kaksakin LEUM GOD, eot ku luk! El lutiyu in anwuk, Ac akoeyu nu ke mweun.

[By David.] Blessed be YHWH, my Rock, who teaches my hands to war, and my fingers to battle:

2 El eot ku luk ac mwe loeyuk luk, Nien molela luk su langoeyula, Su nga filiya lulalfongi luk se. El akpusiselye mutanfahl nu ye niuk.

my loving kindness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and he in whom I take refuge; who subdues peoples under me.

3 LEUM GOD, mea mwet uh, tuh kom in akilenulos? Mwet uh ma pilasr, na kom ku lohang nu selos?

YHWH, what is man, that you care for him? Or the son of man, that you think of him?

4 Mwet uh oana polo eng se ma tuhwot tuhme; Lusen len lalos oana ohk, su sa na wanginla.

Man is like a breath. His days are like a shadow that passes away.

5 O LEUM GOD, ikaselik kusrao ac oatume; Kahlye eol uh, ac elos fah fosryak.

Part your heavens, YHWH, and come down. Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.

6 Supweya sarom in akfahsryelik mwet lokoalok lom; Pusrkama pisr nutum, ac oru elos in kaing.

Throw out lightning, and scatter them. Send out your arrows, and rout them.

7 Asroema poum lucng me. Srukyuyak liki kof loal, ac moliyula. Moliyula liki inpoun mwetsac,

Stretch out your hand from above, rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters, out of the hands of foreigners;

8 Su tia fahk kas pwaye, Ac elos kaskas kikiap elos finne fulahk.

whose mouths speak deceit, Whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

9 Nga fah onkin soko on sasu nu sum, O God, Nga fah srital ke harp ac on nu sum.

I will sing a new song to you, God. On a ten-stringed lyre, I will sing praises to you.

10 Kom pa oru tuh tokosra in eis kutangla, Ac kom molella David, mwet kulansap lom.

You are he who gives salvation to kings, who rescues David, his servant, from the deadly sword.

11 Moliyula liki mwet lokoalok sulallal luk; Moliyula liki ku lun mwetsac, Su tia fahk kas pwaye, Ac elos kaskas kikiap elos finne fulahk.

Rescue me, and deliver me out of the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

12 Lela tuh wen natusr, su srakna mwet fusr, In oana sak sunasr ma kapak arulana ku. Lela tuh acn natusr in oana sru loeloes Ma tu ke sruwasrik in lohm sin tokosra.

Then our sons will be like well-nurtured plants, our daughters like pillars carved to adorn a palace.

13 Lela tuh nien fil fokin ima lasr in nwanala Ke kain in fahko nukewa. Lela tuh sheep in ima lasr In oswe tausin ac ngoul tausin.

Our storehouses are full, filled with all kinds of provision. Our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields.

14 Lela tuh cow natusr in isus pus Ac in wangin ma isus tuh misa. Lela tuh in wangin pusren asor ke inkanek lasr uh.

Our oxen will pull heavy loads. There is no breaking in, and no going away, and no outcry in our streets.

15 Insewowo mutunfacl se su sikyak ouinge nu selos; Aok, insewowo mutunfacl se su LEUM GOD El God lalos!

Blessed are the people who are in such a situation. Blessed are the people whose God is YHWH.
