1 Aka mawt ham BOEIPA sal David kah Halang kah boekoek te ka thinko lungbuei khui kah olphong ah tah, a mik hmuh ah Pathen birhihnah khueh pawh.
For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God.
2 A mik neh amah kathaesainah hmuh ham, ka thiinah tila amah te hoem.
In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.
3 A ka dongkah ol tah boethae neh thailatnah la coeng tih, a then te cangbam hamla a toeng.
Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.
4 A thingkong dongah boethae te a moeh. Long then pawt ah pai tih a thae te hnawt pawh.
Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.
5 Aw BOEIPA na sitlohnah loh vaan duela a pha. Na uepomnah loh khomong a pha.
Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.
6 Na duengnah tah Pathen tlang bangla om tih na laitloeknah te dung tangkik. Hlang neh rhamsa he BOEIPA nang loh na khang.
Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.
7 Pathen namah kah sitlohnah he bahoeng a phu om tih hlang capa rhoek loh na phae hlip ah ying uh.
God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.
8 Na im kah maehhloi dongah hmilhmal uh tih namah kah omthennah soklong tui te amih na tul.
They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.
9 Namah taengah hingnah thunsih om tih, namah kah vangnah dongah vangnah ka hmuh uh.
You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.
10 Nang aka ming rhoek taengah na sitlohnah hing sak lamtah lungbuei aka thuem taengah na duengnah om sak.
Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.
11 Hoemnah kho loh kai m'pha boel saeh lamtah halang kut te kai taengah vikvawk boel saeh.
Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.
12 Boethae aka saii rhoek te pahoi cungku uh tih a bung uh dongah tlai uh thai pawt lah ko.
Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.
