Psalms 40
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. I waited patiently for the LORD. He turned to me, and heard my cry.
I AUIAUIER Ieowa, o a kotin iroir don ia o kotin erekier ai likelikwir.
2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay. He set my feet on a rock, and gave me a firm place to stand.
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;
3 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.
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.
4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.
Meid pai ol o me kaporoporeki Ieowa o jota waroki on me aklapalap akan, de me weweid nin tiak likam!
5 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 counted.
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.
6 Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire. You have opened my ears. You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.
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.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come. It is written about me in the book in the scroll.
Nai ap inda: Kilan, I kokodo; nan puk o me intinidier duen nai.
8 I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your Torah is within my heart.”
I men kapwaiada kupur omui, ai Kot; o japwilim omui kapun o mi nan lol en monion i.
9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly. Behold, I will not seal my lips, LORD, you know.
I pan padaki on momodijou laud duen me pun. Kilan, i jota pan nenenla, Main kom kotin mani.
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.
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.
11 Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, LORD. Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.
A komui Main der kotiki jan ia omui kalanan, omui kalanan o melel en jinjila ia anjau karoj.
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.
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.
13 Be pleased, LORD, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, LORD.
Kom kotin kupura ia Main, o kotin dore ia la; Main kom kotin jauaja madan!
14 Let them be disappointed 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.
Me kin majamajan ia, pwen kame ia la, en namenokala o lijela; me men wia jued on ia, en purewei o lijela.
15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”
Ir me kin likelikwirki due ai: “Io, io!” en majak o lijela.
16 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!”
Karoj me idok komui, en pereperen o popol. O me pok on omui maur, anjau karoj ren inda: Meid kapinan Ieowa!
17 But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.
Pwe nai jamama o luet; a Ieowa kin kotin apwali ia. Komui jauaj pa i o ai jaundor; ai Kot, kom der kotin pwand!
