Psalm 40

1 [Psalm lal David] Nga mongfisrasr in tupan kasru sin LEUM GOD, Na El porongeyu ac lohng tung luk.

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,

2 El ulyuyak liki sie lufin ongoiya, Liki fohk furarrar ac fulful ma ac ku in tulakinyuwi. El oakiya niuk fin sie eot wen Ac moliyula.

And He causes me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raises up my feet on a rock, He is establishing my steps.

3 El lutiyu in yuk soko on sasu, Soko on in kaksakin God lasr. Mwet puspis su liye ma inge elos ac fah esmakla, Ac elos fah filiya lulalfongi lalos in LEUM GOD.

And He puts a new song in my mouth, “Praise to our God.” Many see and fear, and trust in YHWH.

4 Insewowo elos su lulalfongi LEUM GOD, Su tia forla nu ke ma sruloala Ku welulos su alu nu ke god sutuu uh.

O the blessedness of the man Who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to lies.

5 Kom oru ma puslana nu sesr, O LEUM GOD lasr; Wangin sie oana kom! Kom oru oakwuk wolana puspis nu sesr. Nga koflana srumun nufon — Arulana pusla!

You have done much, my God YHWH; Your wonders and Your thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange to You, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

6 Kom tia enenu mwe kisa ku mwe lung; Kom tia siyuk ke ma orakrak in kisakinyuk fon fin loang lom, Oayapa kom tia siyuk ke mwe kisa in eela ma koluk. A kom ase insrek tuh nga in ku in lohng kom.

Sacrifice and present You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering You have not asked.

7 Ke ma inge nga fahk, “Nga inge; Mwe luti lom nu sik oasr in book in Ma Sap.

Then I said, “Behold, I have come, In the roll of the scroll it is written of me,

8 Nga arulana lungse in oru ma lungse lom, God luk! Nga sruokya mwe luti lom insiuk.”

I have delighted to do Your pleasure, my God, And Your law [is] within my heart.”

9 LEUM GOD, in walil lulap lun mwet lom Nga fahkak pweng wo ke molela lom nu sesr. Kom etu lah nga fah tiana tui in srumun ma inge.

I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You have known.

10 Nga tia sruokya pweng ke molela nu sik sifacna; In pacl nukewa nga sramsram ke oaru lom ac kasru lom. In walil lun mwet lom nga tiana misla in srumun Ke oaru lom ac lungse kawil lom.

I have not concealed Your righteousness In the midst of my heart, I have told of Your faithfulness and Your salvation, I have not hidden Your kindness and Your truth, To the great assembly.

11 LEUM GOD, nga etu lah kom fah tiana tui in pakoten nu sik. Lungse ac oaru lom fah karinginyu in pacl e nukewa.

You, O YHWH, do not restrain Your mercies from me, Your kindness and Your truth continually keep me.

12 Mwe ongoiya puspis rauniyula — Pus liki ma ku in oekyuk! Ma koluk luk ukweyuwi nwe sunyu, Ac nga tila ku in liye; Ma inge pus liki aunsifuk, Na wanginla pulaik luk.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me, My iniquities have overtaken me, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me.

13 Kasreyu, LEUM GOD, moliyula inge!

Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, make haste for my help.

14 Lela tuh elos su srike in uniyuwi Elos in arulana kutangyukla ac akfohsyeyukyak. Lela tuh elos su engan ke mwe ongoiya nu sik In ukohkyak elos ac akpusiselyeyuk.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.

15 Lela tuh elos su isrunyu In arulana mangolngolla ke kutangyukla elos.

They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, “Aha, aha.”

16 Lela tuh elos nukewa su suk kom Elos in engan ac pwar. Lela tuh elos su kaksakin molela lom In fahk pacl nukewa, “LEUM GOD El fulatlana!”

All seeking You rejoice and are glad in You, Those loving Your salvation continually say, “YHWH is magnified.”

17 O Leum, nga munas ac sukasrup, Tusruktu kom tiana mulkinyula. Kom God luk ac kom moliyula — Sulaklak kasreyu!

And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord devises for me. You [are] my help and my deliverer, O my God, do not linger.
