Psalms 40
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] I waited patiently for Jehovah, and he turned to me, and heard my cry.
Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah, David ih Saam laa. Angraeng to palungsawkhaih hoiah ka zing pongah, anih loe kai khaeah angqoi moe, ka qahhaih lok to ang tahngaih pae.
2 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.
Anih mah tangnong kathuk, zitthok tangqom thung hoiah ang zuh tahang, ka khok lungsong nuiah ang koengsak moe, ka caehhaih loklam to ang caksak.
3 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 Jehovah.
Anih mah aicae Sithaw saphawhaih laa kangtha to ka pakha ah ang paek: to hmuen to kanoih parai kaminawk mah hnuk o naah, zithaih tawn o ueloe, Angraeng tanghaih to tawn o tih.
4 Blessed is the man who makes Jehovah his trust, and doesn't respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Amoek kami thapaek ai, kami aling hanah lam amkhraeng kami to khen ai ah, Angraeng tanghaih tawn kami loe tahamhoih.
5 Many, Jehovah, 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.
Aw ka Angraeng Sithaw, kaicae han nang sak pae ih dawnrai hmuennawk hoi na poekhaihnawk loe pop parai; ka thui laek mak ai: ka kroek aep to mah kroek thai mak ai.
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me. Whole burnt offering and sin offering you did not require.
Nang loe angbawnhaih hoi hmuen paekhaih to na koeh ai; ka naa hae nang khawsak boeh: hmai angbawnhaih hoi zae angbawnhaih to na hni ai.
7 Then I said, "Look, I have come. It is written about me in the scroll of a book;
To naah kai mah, cabu tangoeng thungah kai kawng tarik o baktih toengah, khenah, kang zoh boeh,
8 to do your will, O God, I desired. And your Law is within my heart."
Aw ka Sithaw, na koehhaih sak han ka koeh, ue, nang ih kaalok loe ka palung thungah oh, tiah ka thuih.
9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Look, I will not seal my lips, Jehovah, you know.
Kanoih parai kaminawk khaeah toenghaih kawng to ka thuih: khenah, Aw Angraeng, ka pahni hae ka tamuep ai, tito na panoek.
10 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.
Na toenghaih ka palung thungah ka hawk ai; na oepthohhaih hoi na pahlonghaih to ka thuih boeh: pop parai kaminawk hmaa ah nam lunghaih hoi tangtang na lok to taphong ai ah ka om ai.
11 Do not withhold your tender mercies from me, Jehovah. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
Aw Angraeng, na tahmenhaih to pakaa ving hmah: nam lunghaih hoi na loktang lok mah na toep poe nasoe.
12 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.
Kroek laek ai sethaihnawk mah kai ang takui o khoep boeh: ka sakpazaehaihnawk mah kai ang zaeng khoep boeh pongah, ka mik amtueng ai boeh; nihcae loe ka lu nui ih samnawk pongah doeh pop o kue: to pongah palung ka boeng sut boeh.
13 Be pleased, Jehovah, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Jehovah.
Aw Angraeng, kai pahlong han anghoe ah: Aw Angraeng, kai abomh hanah karangah angzo ah.
14 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.
Ka hinghaih lak han pakrong kaminawk loe azatpaw o nasoe loe, dawnrai anghmanghaih hoiah om o nasoe: kai amrosak koeh kaminawk loe azatpaw o nasoe loe, palung boenghaih hoiah hnukbangah amlaem o nasoe.
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, "Aha. Aha."
Kai hanah Aha! aha! tiah pahnui thuih kaminawk loe, azat loiah khosak anghmang o sut nasoe.
16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let such as love your salvation say continually, "Let Jehovah be exalted."
Nang pakrong kaminawk boih loe, nang ah anghoe o nasoe loe, poeknawm o nasoe: na pahlonghaih koeh kaminawk mah, Angraeng loe lensawkhaih om nasoe, tiah thui o poe nasoe.
17 But I am poor and needy. May Jehovah think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Do not delay, my God.
Toe kai loe amtang kami ah ka oh; Angraeng mah kai hanah kho ang poek pae: nang loe kai bomkung hoi pahlongkung ah na oh; Aw ka Sithaw, akra hmah.
