Psalms 40

1 I AUIAUIER Ieowa, o a kotin iroir don ia o kotin erekier ai likelikwir.

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] I waited patiently for the LORD, and he turned to me, and heard my cry.

2 A kotin api ia da jan nan por jued o jan waja lujujur, o kotin kajonedier na i kat pon paip eu, pwen kak alu mau;

He also brought me up out of a pit of tumult, out of the miry clay; and he set my feet on a rock, making my steps secure.

3 O a kotiki on nan au ai kaul kap pot, pwen kapina atail Kot; i me aramaj toto pan udial ap lan Ieowa o kaporoporeki i.

And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

4 Meid pai ol o me kaporoporeki Ieowa o jota waroki on me aklapalap akan, de me weweid nin tiak likam!

Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5 Main ai Kot, meid kapuriamui japwilim omui dodok kan o omui madamadaua, me komui kotin kajale on kit. Jota me rajon komui. I men kaparok o kajokajoi duen, a re jota mau on wadok.

Many, LORD, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can't be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

6 Kom jota kotin kupura mairon man de mairon wan tuka kan; a kom kotin kawajak pajan jalon ai; kom jota kotin mauki mairon ijij de mairon en dip.

Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sin offering you did not require.

7 Nai ap inda: Kilan, I kokodo; nan puk o me intinidier duen nai.

Then I said, "Look, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book;

8 I men kapwaiada kupur omui, ai Kot; o japwilim omui kapun o mi nan lol en monion i.

to do your will, O God, I desired. And your Law is within my heart."

9 I pan padaki on momodijou laud duen me pun. Kilan, i jota pan nenenla, Main kom kotin mani.

I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Look, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.

10 I jota okila omui pun nan monion i. I kin kapakaparok duen omui melel o maur, i jota kin okila omui kalanan o melel mon momodijou laud.

I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart. I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

11 A komui Main der kotiki jan ia omui kalanan, omui kalanan o melel en jinjila ia anjau karoj.

Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

12 Pwe ai kalokolok kapil ia pena, o re jota mau on wadok; dip ai katoutou ia, i ap jolar kilan waja; ir me toto jan pit en mon ai, ap jolar anian.

For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.

13 Kom kotin kupura ia Main, o kotin dore ia la; Main kom kotin jauaja madan!

Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.

14 Me kin majamajan ia, pwen kame ia la, en namenokala o lijela; me men wia jued on ia, en purewei o lijela.

Let them be put to shame and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

15 Ir me kin likelikwirki due ai: “Io, io!” en majak o lijela.

Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."

16 Karoj me idok komui, en pereperen o popol. O me pok on omui maur, anjau karoj ren inda: Meid kapinan Ieowa!

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let the LORD be exalted."

17 Pwe nai jamama o luet; a Ieowa kin kotin apwali ia. Komui jauaj pa i o ai jaundor; ai Kot, kom der kotin pwand!

But I am poor and needy. May the LORD think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.
