Psalms 40
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. I have waited expectantly for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
Aka mawt ham David kah Tingtoenglung BOEIPA te ka lamtawn rhoela ka lamtawn dongah kai taengla ha hooi tih ka pang ol a yaak.
2 And he heard my prayers and he led me out of the pit of misery and the quagmire. And he stationed my feet upon a rock, and he directed my steps.
Te dongah longlonah tangrhom, sihnok tangnong lamkah kai n'koeih tih ka kho te thaelpang dongla m'pai sak phoeiah ka khokan a cikngae sak.
3 And he sent a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many will see, and they will fear; and they will hope in the Lord.
Te phoeiah mamih Pathen koehnah ham laa thai te ka ka dongah han khueh tih a yet loh a hmuh uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih BOEIPA dongah pangtung uh ni.
4 Blessed is the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and who has no respect for vanities and absurd falsehoods.
BOEIPA te amah kah pangtungnah la aka khueh hlang te a yoethen tih hlang oek neh laithae vilvak taengla mael pawh.
5 You have accomplished your many wonders, O Lord my God, and there is no one similar to you in your thoughts. I have announced and I have spoken: they are multiplied beyond number.
Aw BOEIPA ka Pathen namah loh namah kah khobaerhambae muep na saii dongah kaimih ham na kopoek te nang taengah aka tae pawh. Ka puen tih ka thui te ka doek lakah tahoeng coeng.
6 Sacrifice and oblation, you did not want. But you have perfected ears for me. Holocaust and sin offering, you did not require.
Hmueih neh khosaa te na hmae moenih. Kai ham hna nan vueh tih hmueihhlutnah neh boirhaem khaw na hoe moenih.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I draw near.” At the head of the book, it has been written of me:
Te dongah, “Cabu cayol khuiah kai ham a daek bangla ka lo coeng tih
8 that I should do your will. My God, I have willed it. And your law is in the midst of my heart.
Ka Boeipa Pathen na kolonah saii ham ka hmae tih na olkhueng loh ka ko khui ah om coeng he,” ka ti.
9 I have announced your justice in a great Church: behold, I will not restrain my lips. O Lord, you have known it.
Duengnah te hlangping a yet taengah ka phong tih ka kam ka khuem pawt he BOEIPA namah loh na ming.
10 I have not concealed your justice within my heart. I have spoken your truth and your salvation. I have not concealed your mercy and your truth from a great assembly.
Na duengnah te ka lungbuei khui ah ka thuh pawh. Na uepomnah neh loeihnah te ka thui coeng. Na sitlohnah neh uepomnah te hlangping a yet taengah ka phah pawh.
11 O Lord, do not take your tender mercies far from me. Your mercy and your truth ever sustain me.
BOEIPA nang loh na haidamnah te, kai taengah na sihtaeh moenih. Na sitlohnah neh na oltak loh, kai n'kueinah yoeyah saeh.
12 For evils without number have surrounded me. My iniquities have taken hold of me, and I was not able to see. They have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. And my heart has forsaken me.
Tae lek pawt hil ah yoethae loh kai taengah a li. Kamah kathaesainah loh kamah n'kae dogah sawt la huut pawh. Ka lu dongkah sam lakah yet tih ka lungbuei ka tlo-oeng sut.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me. Look down, O Lord, to help me.
Aw BOEIPA, kai huul ham te m'moeithen mai dae. Aw BOEIPA, kai bomkung la ha tawn uh dae.
14 Let them together be confounded and awed, who seek after my soul to steal it away. Let them be turned back and be in awe, who wish evils upon me.
Ka hinglu khoengvoep ham aka mae rhoek te yak uh saeh lamtah a hmai tal uh boeih saeh. Kai kah yoethae aka omtoem rhoek khaw a hnuk la balkhong uh saeh lamtah a hmaithae uh saeh.
15 Let them bear their confusion all at once, who say to me, “Well, well.”
Amih kah yahpohnah dongah kai te, “Ahuei ah uei,” aka ti rhoek te hal uh saeh.
16 Let all who seek you exult and rejoice over you. And let those who love your salvation always say, “May the Lord be magnified.”
Nang aka tlap boeih namah dongah a ngaingaih la a kohoe uh saeh lamtah namah kah loeihnah aka ngaih rhoek tah, “BOEIPA te pomsang pai saeh,” ti uh yoeyah saeh.
17 But I am a beggar and poor. The Lord has been concerned about me. You are my helper and my protector. My God, do not delay.
Ka mangdaeng tih ka khodaeng dae kai he Boeipa loh n'thoelh nawn saeh. Kai kah bomkung neh kai aka hlawt ka Pathen nang na uelh moenih.
