Psalms 116
1 I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice, and my cries for mercy.
Ka lok hoi tahmen ka hnikhaih lok, anih mah ang thaih pae pongah, Angraeng to ka palung.
2 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
Kai khae bangah a naa to patueng pongah, ka hing thung anih to ka kawk han.
3 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol (Sheol h7585) got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.
Kai loe duekhaih qui mah ang zaeng moe, taprong patangkhanghaih mah ang naeh; raihaih hoi palungsethaih to ka tongh. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I called on the LORD’s name: “LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul.”
To naah Angraeng ih ahmin to ka kawk; Aw Angraeng, ka hinghaih na pahlong ah, tiah ka hnik.
5 The LORD is gracious and righteous. Yes, our God is merciful.
Angraeng loe toeng moe, tahmenhaih hoiah koi; ue, aicae ih Sithaw loe palungnathaih hoiah koi.
6 The LORD preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.
Angraeng mah poektoeng kami to khetzawn; poekhaih ka pahnaem naah, kai hae ang bomh.
7 Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
Aw ka hinghaih, nang hakhaih ahmuen ah amlaem ah; Angraeng mah nang hanah kahoih hmuen to sak boeh.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Duekhaih thung hoiah ka hinghaih hae pahlong ah, mikkhraetui krakhaih thung hoiah ka mik hae pahlong ah loe, amthaekhaih thung hoiah ka khoknawk to na pahlong rae ah.
9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Kai loe kahing kaminawk ih prae ah Angraeng hmaa ah ka caeh han.
10 I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.”
Kai loe patangkhang parai boeh, tiah ka thuih, toe tanghaih ka tawnh vop.
11 I said in my haste, “All people are liars.”
Poek ai pui hoiah kaminawk loe lok amlai o boih, tiah ka thuih moeng boeh.
12 What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
Angraeng mah ka nuiah sak ih hoihaihnawk boih kawbangmaw ka pathok han?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the LORD’s name.
Pahlonghaih boengloeng to ka patawnh moe, Angraeng ih ahmin to ka kawk han.
14 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people.
Angraeng khaeah lokkamhaih to anih ih kaminawk boih hmaa ah ka koepsak han.
15 Precious in the LORD’s sight is the death of his saints.
Angmah ih kaciim kaminawk duekhaih loe, Angraeng mikhnuk ah atho kaom koek ah oh.
16 LORD, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your servant girl. You have freed me from my chains.
Aw Angraeng, kai loe na tamna tangtang ni; kai loe na tamna hoi na tamna nongpata ih capa ah ka oh; pathlethaih khawkqui to nang khramh pae.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the LORD’s name.
Kawnhaih lok thuihaih to nang khaeah kang tathlang moe, Angraeng ih ahmin to ka kawk han.
18 I will pay my vows to the LORD, yes, in the presence of all his people,
Angmah ih kaminawk boih hmaa ah Angraeng khaeah lokkamhaih to ka koepsak han,
19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the middle of you, Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
Angraeng ih im longhmaa ah, Aw Jerusalem, nang salakah ka koepsak han. Angraeng to saphaw oh.
