1 Kathutkung: Devit Thoenae kasaknaw kecu dawk lungmathoe hoi awm hanh awh. Payonnae kasaknaw hai ut awh hanh.
By David. Do not fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
2 Bangkongtetpawiteh, phokahring patetlah palang kamyai awh vaiteh, anhna kahring patetlah palang a due awh han.
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
3 BAWIPA kâuep nateh, hawinae hah sak haw. Ram thung awm nateh, yuemkamcunae hah hringkhaih.
Trust in the LORD, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.

Also delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Na lamthung hah BAWIPA koe poe haw, ama kâuep haw, ama ni a sak han.
Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
6 Na lannae teh angnae patetlah tâcawt sak vaiteh, na kângingnae hah kanîthun patetlah ao sak han.
he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
7 BAWIPA dawk kâhat nateh, lungsaw laihoi ring haw. Amamae lamthung dawk tânae kahmawtnaw kecu dawk thoseh, thoenae a noe e naw dawk a kâvoe awh kecu dawk thoseh, na lungmathout hanh.
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
8 Na lungphuen sak hanh, lungkhueknae cettakhai haw. Lungmathoe hoi awm hanh. Hot ni teh, hawihoehnae koe doeh na hrawi.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
9 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, thoenae kasaknaw teh, raphoe lah ao awh han. Hatei, BAWIPA ka ngaihawi e naw ni, talai heh râw lah a coe awh han.
For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
10 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, tamikathoutnaw teh dongdengca dawk awm awh mahoeh toe. Bokheiyah, a onae hmuen koe kahawicalah na tawng han, hatei, awm mahoeh toe.
For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he is not there.
11 Hatei, a lungkanem e ni talai râw a coe vaiteh, kapap e roumnae dawk a lunghawi awh han.
But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 Tamikathout ni tamikalan a youk teh, a hâkam a kata sin.
The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
13 Hatei, Bawipa ni tamikathout teh a panui sin. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnimae hnin ka tho hane hah a panue.
The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
14 Mathoe hoi kavoutthoupnaw kamlei sak hane hoi, kalan lah kahringnaw thei hanelah, tamikathoutnaw ni amamae tahloi sut a rayu awh teh, licung sut a sawn awh toe.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.
15 Hatei, amamae tahloi teh amamae lung dawk kâen vaiteh, ahnimae licung teh khoe lah ao han.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
16 Tamikathout ni tawnta e hlak, tamikalan ni younca a tawn e ahawihnawn.
Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
17 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, tamikathout e kut teh khoe lah awm vaiteh, tamikalan e kut teh BAWIPA ni a kabawp han.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.

But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.
21 Tamikathout niteh, a cawi e patho hoeh toe. Hatei, tamikalan niteh, a pahren teh a poe.
The wicked borrow, and do not pay back, but the righteous give generously.
22 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, yawhawi poe lah kaawmnaw ni talai râw a coe awh han. Thoebo lah kaawmnaw teh raphoe lah ao awh han.
For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.

Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for the LORD holds him up with his hand.

Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
28 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni kângingnae hah a lungpataw. A tamikathoungnaw cettakhai boihoeh. Lungmawng lah pou ao sak.
For the LORD loves justice, and does not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.

The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.

The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to kill him.

The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

Wait for the LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
35 Tamikathout hoi tamitongthoenaw teh, ung e thingkung patetlah, hluthlut a naw awh e hah ka hmu toe.
I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
36 Hatei, a due teh, khenhaw! ahni teh awm hoeh toe. Bokheiyah, ka tawng eiteh, hmu hane awm hoeh toe.
But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Kuepnae hah pouk nateh, lannae hah lueplueppouk haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmâ lah a coe hane teh, lungmawngnae doeh.
Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.

As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 Tamikalan rungngangnae teh, BAWIPA koehoi doeh. Ahni teh runae tueng nah kânguenae im doeh.
But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40 BAWIPA ni kabawm vaiteh, a rungngang han. Ama a kâuep dawkvah, tamikathoutnaw thung hoi a rasa teh ouk a rungngang.
The LORD helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
