Psalms 52
1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.” Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
[Edom Doeg loh cet tih Saul la, “David te Ahimelek im la cet coeng,” a ti nah tih a puen vaengkah, aka mawt ham David kah hlohlai.] Hlangrhalh nang loh boethae neh bahamlae na thangthen uh. Pathen kah sitlohnah he hnin takuem ah cak.
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Na lai loh a talnah a moeh. Palyal neh paihat bangla haat tih a hlueng.
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)
Hnothen lakah boethae na lungnah. Duengnah lakah a honghi te na thui. (Selah)
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
Hlangthai palat kah a lai loh dolhnah ol boeih te a lungnah.
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Te cakhaw Pathen loh nang te a yoeyah la m'voeih vetih, nang te m'poep ni. Te vaengah dap khui lamkah nang te m'phuk vetih, mulhing rhoek kah khohmuen lamloh nang m'phuk ni. (Selah)
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
Tedae aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih anih te,
7 “Behold, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
“Hlang khaw ke, Pathen vik amah kah lunghim la khueh pawt tih, a khuehtawn cangpai dongah pangtung tih a talnah neh tanglue,” tila a nueih thil uh.
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
Tedae kai tah Pathen im kah olive thinghing bangla kumhal ah Pathen kah sitlohnah te ka pangtung yoeyah.
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
Namah loh na saii coeng dongah kumhal ah nang kan uem vetih na then dongah na ming te na hlangcim rhoek hmuh ah ka lamtawn ni.
