Psalms 116

1 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

Ka huithuinah ol te BOEIPA loh a yaak coeng dongah ka lungnah.

2 Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

Kai taengla a hna a kaeng dongah ka hing tue khuiah ka khue ni.

3 Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. (Sheol h7585)

Dueknah rhuihet neh saelkhui longcaek loh kai n'caeng. Citcai loh kai m'hmuh tih kothae loh m'vuei. (Sheol h7585)

4 And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

Te vaengah, “Aw BOEIPA ka hinglu he poenghal sak lah,” tila BOEIPA ming te ka khue.

5 Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is] merciful,

Lungvatnah BOEIPA tah dueng tih mamih kah Pathen loh a haidam.

6 A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

BOEIPA loh hlangyoe a ngaithuen. Ka tlayae vaengah kai n'khang.

7 Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

BOEIPA loh nang ham a phai coeng dongah aw ka hinglu na ngolbuel la ha mael laeh.

8 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

Ka hinglu he dueknah lamkah, ka mik he mikphi lamkah, ka kho khaw thuihkoek dong lamkah nan pumcum sak.

9 I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

Te dongah mulhing khohmuen kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah ka pongpa van ni.

10 I have believed, for I speak, I — I have been afflicted greatly.

Kai loh, “Ka tholh tangkik,” ka ti vaengah pataeng ka tangnah.

11 I said in my haste, 'Every man [is] a liar.'

Kai loh ka tamto vaengah, “Hlang boeih he laithae ni,” ka ti.

12 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon me.

Kai ham a thennah boeih he BOEIPA taengah metlam ka thuung eh?

13 The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

Khangnah boengloeng te ka pom vetih BOEIPA ming te ka khue ni.

14 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

BOEIPA taengkah ka olcaeng te a pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah ka thuung pawn ni.

15 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His saints.

A hlangcim rhoek kah dueknah he BOEIPA mikhmuh ah vang.

16 Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

Aw BOEIPA, kai he na sal pai ni. Na salnu kah a ca, na sal kai he, ka kuelrhui lamloh nan hlam.

17 To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

Nang taengah uemonah hmueih ka nawn vetih BOEIPA ming te ka khue ni.

18 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

BOEIPA taengkah ka olcaeng te a pilnam boeih kah mikhmuh ah,

19 In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

BOEIPA im vongup neh Jerusalem nang khuiah ka thuung pawn ni. BOEIPA tah thangthen uh.
