< Psalms 52 >

1 For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God [endureth] 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 Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Na lai loh a talnah a moeh. Palyal neh paihat bangla haat tih a hlueng.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
Hnothen lakah boethae na lungnah. Duengnah lakah a honghi te na thui. (Selah)
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
Hlangthai palat kah a lai loh dolhnah ol boeih te a lungnah.
5 God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee 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 shall see [it], and fear, And shall laugh at him, [saying],
Tedae aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih anih te,
7 Lo, this is the man that made not 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 the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.
Tedae kai tah Pathen im kah olive thinghing bangla kumhal ah Pathen kah sitlohnah te ka pangtung yoeyah.
9 I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy 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.
