Ntu 5
(Zaj nkauj 107‑150)
Vajtswv cawm dim kev txom nyem
vim nws zoo kawg,
nws txojkev hlub ruaj khov
nyob mus ib txhis.
2Cia cov uas Yawmsaub txhiv dim lawd
hais li ntawd,
yog cov uas nws txhiv dim
hauv yeeb ncuab txhais tes los
3thiab sau tawm hauv tej tebchaws
sab hnub tuaj sab hnub poob,
sab ped sab nrad huvsi los ua ke.
4Muaj ib txhia mus mus los los
hauv ntuj nrag teb do,
nrhiav tsis tau kev mus
rau hauv lub moos twg uas lawv nyob tau.
5Lawv tshaib plab nqhis dej,
lawv tus ntsuj plig
qaug zog tag rau hauv lawv.
6Thaum lawv raug ceeblaj
lawv quaj thov Yawmsaub,
nws kuj tso lawv dim
lawv tej kev txom nyem nyuaj siab.
7Nws coj lawv taug txojkev ncaj,
mus txog ib lub moos uas lawv nyob tau.
8Cia lawv ua Yawmsaub tsaug
vim nws txojkev hlub ruaj khov
thiab nws tej haujlwm phimhwj
uas nws ua pab ib tsoom neeg.
9Tus uas nqhis, nws kuj pub kom txaus,
tus uas tshaib,
nws kuj pub tej yam zoo kom tsau.
10Ib txhia nyob hauv qhov tsaus ntuj
thiab qhov tsaus dub nciab,
yog cov uas raug kaw txom nyem
thiab raug saw hlau khi,
11vim lawv fav xeeb Vajtswv tej lus,
thiab saib tsis taus
tus uas Loj Dua Ntais tej lus qhia.
12Vajtswv ua rau lawv lub siab qaug zog
vim ua haujlwm hnyav,
lawv ntog tag tsis muaj leejtwg pab.
13Thaum lawv raug ceeblaj
lawv quaj thov Yawmsaub,
nws kuj tso lawv dim
lawv tej kev txom nyem nyuaj siab.
14Nws coj lawv tawm
hauv qhov tsaus dub nciab
thiab qhov tsaus ntuj nti los.
thiab muab tej saw uas khi lawv
tu pov tseg.
15Cia lawv ua Yawmsaub tsaug
vim nws txojkev hlub ruaj khov
thiab nws tej haujlwm phimhwj
uas nws ua pab ib tsoom neeg.
16Nws tsoo tej qhov rooj tooj liab,
thiab txiav tej las hlau pov tseg.
17Ib txhia kuj ruam
vim lawv tej kev txhaum txim.
Vim tim lawv tej kev txhaum
lawv thiaj raug txom nyem.
18Lawv ntxub txhua yam zaub mov,
lawv mus ze lub qhov rooj kev tuag.
19Thaum lawv raug ceeblaj
lawv quaj thov Yawmsaub,
nws kuj tso lawv dim
lawv tej kev txom nyem nyuaj siab.
20Nws xa nws tej lus mus
thiab kho lawv tej mob
thiab tso lawv dim kev puam tsuaj.
21Cia lawv ua Yawmsaub tsaug
vim nws txojkev hlub ruaj khov
thiab nws tej haujlwm phimhwj
uas nws ua pab ib tsoom neeg.
22Cia lawv ua kevcai xyeem ua nws tsaug,
thiab hu nkauj xyiv fab
piav txog tej uas nws ua los lawd.
23Ib txhia kuj caij nkoj mus hauv hiavtxwv,
nrhiav noj hauv dej hiavtxwv uas loj.
24Lawv pom tej uas Yawmsaub ua
yog nws tej haujlwm phimhwj
hauv hiavtxwv uas tob.
25Nws hais lus thiab ua kom muaj
cua daj cua dub ntsawj,
ua rau dej hiavtxwv ntas tej niag nthwv.
26Cov neeg ntawd nce mus nto ntuj
thiab poob rau hauv qhov uas tob heev.
Lawv lub siab ntsws yaj tag
rau tej xwm txheej phem uas lawv raug.
27Lawv ntog yoj yuj yees ua pig ua poog
yam li qaug cawv,
thiab kawg tswvyim lawm.
28Mas thaum lawv raug ceeblaj
lawv quaj thov Yawmsaub,
nws kuj cawm lawv dim
lawv tej kev txom nyem nyuaj siab.
29Nws ua rau cua daj cua dub tu,
thiab tej nthwv dej hiavtxwv kuj tus lawm.
30Lawv txawm zoo siab
vim yog lawv nyob tus yees lawm,
nws kuj coj lawv los rau lub chaw
uas lawv xav mus.
31Cia lawv ua Yawmsaub tsaug
vim nws txojkev hlub ruaj khov
thiab nws tej haujlwm phimhwj
uas nws ua pab ib tsoom neeg.
32Cia lawv qhuas ntxhias nws
rau hauv ib tsoom neeg
uas tuaj txoos ua ke,
thiab qhuas nws rau hauv
cov kev txwj laus uas tuaj sablaj.
33Nws muab tej niag dej
ntxeev ua ntuj nrag teb do,
thiab tej qhov dej txhawv
ntxeev ua av qhuav nkig nkuav,
34thiab muab lub tebchaws uas qoob loo zoo
ntxeev ua chaw do cuas thiab daw ntsev
vim tim cov neeg
uas nyob lub tebchaws ntawd kev limhiam.
35Nws muab ntuj nrag teb do
ntxeev ua pas dej,
thiab tebchaws qhuav nkig nkuav
ntxeev ua qhov dej txhawv.
36Nws pub cov neeg tshaib
tau nyob qhov ntawd,
mas lawv tsim tsa lub moos
ua lawv lub chaw nyob.
37Lawv tseb noob rau hauv teb
thiab cog vaj txiv hmab,
mas tau qoob ntsu heev.
38Nws foom koob hmoov rau lawv,
lawv thiaj li huaj vam coob,
thiab nws tsis cia lawv tej tsiaj txhu
tsawg zuj zus.
39Thaum lawv raug luag muab
rhuav tsawg zuj zus
thiab raug kev quab yuam,
raug tej kev ceeblaj
thiab raug tej kev nyuaj siab
ua rau lawv poob qes,
40mas Vajtswv saib tsis taus
cov uas ua thawj,
thiab ua rau cov thawj ntawd
mus mus los los hauv tej chaw do cuas
uas tsis muaj kev taug.
41Tiamsis nws tsa cov pluag
sawv hauv qhov txom nyem los,
thiab ua rau lawv tej tub ki
huaj vam coob yam li tej pab yaj.
42Cov neeg ncaj ncees pom mas zoo siab,
thiab cov neeg limhiam sawvdaws
kaw qhov ncauj.
43Leejtwg txawj ntse,
cia nws ua tib zoo mloog tej no,
cia neeg xav txog Yawmsaub txojkev hlub
uas ruaj khov.

BOOK FIVE: Psalms 107—150
Thanksgiving to the Lord for His Great Works of Deliverance
1Oh, ⚓give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
2Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy,
3And ⚓gathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.
4They wandered in ⚓the wilderness in a desolate way;
They found no city to dwell in.
5Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
6⚓Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He delivered them out of their distresses.
7And He led them forth by the ⚓right way,
That they might go to a city for a dwelling place.
8⚓Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lordfor His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
9For ⚓He satisfies the longing soul,
And fills the hungry soul with goodness.
10Those who ⚓sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
⚓Bound in affliction and irons—
11Because they ⚓rebelled against the words of God,
And despised ⚓the counsel of the Most High,
12Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They fell down, and there was⚓none to help.
13Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
14⚓He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.
15Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lordfor His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16For He has ⚓broken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.
17Fools, ⚓because of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18⚓Their soul abhorred all manner of food,
And they ⚓drew near to the gates of death.
19Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
20⚓He sent His word and ⚓healed them,
And ⚓delivered them from their destructions.
21Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lordfor His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
22⚓Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And ⚓declare His works with rejoicing.
23Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters,
24They see the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
25For He commands and ⚓raises the stormy wind,
Which lifts up the waves of the sea.
26They mount up to the heavens,
They go down again to the depths;
⚓Their soul melts because of trouble.
27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits’ end.
28Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brings them out of their distresses.
29⚓He calms the storm,
So that its waves are still.
30Then they are glad because they are quiet;
So He guides them to their desired haven.
31⚓Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lordfor His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
32Let them exalt Him also ⚓in the assembly of the people,
And praise Him in the company of the elders.
33He ⚓turns rivers into a wilderness,
And the watersprings into dry ground;
34A ⚓fruitful land into barrenness,
For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
35⚓He turns a wilderness into pools of water,
And dry land into watersprings.
36There He makes the hungry dwell,
That they may establish a city for a dwelling place,
37And sow fields and plant vineyards,
That they may yield a fruitful harvest.
38⚓He also blesses them, and they multiply greatly;
And He does not let their cattle ⚓decrease.
39When they are ⚓diminished and brought low
Through oppression, affliction, and sorrow,
40⚓He pours contempt on princes,
And causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way;
41⚓Yet He sets the poor on high, far from affliction,
And ⚓makes their families like a flock.
42⚓The righteous see it and rejoice,
And all ⚓iniquity stops its mouth.
43⚓Whoever is wise will observe these things,
And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.
