Psalms 37
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
David ih Saam laa. Hmuensae sah kaminawk pongah palungboeng hmah loe, nihcae to awt hmah.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Nihcae loe akra ai ah qam baktiah aat ueloe, qam kahing baktiah azaem o tih.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Angraeng to oep ah loe, kahoih hmuen to sah ah; prae thungah om ah loe, poek caksak ah.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Angraeng ah anghoehaih tawn ah, to tih nahaeloe palung thung hoi na koeh ih hmuen to na paek tih.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.
Na caehhaih loklam to Angraeng khaeah aap ah; anih to oep ah; to tih nahaeloe angmah na hoi tih.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Anih mah loe na toenghaih to hmai baktih, katoengah takroek ih lok to athun ih ni aengh baktiah aangsak tih.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Angraeng hmaa ah anghngai duem ah loe, anih to palungsawkhaih hoiah zing ah: a caehhaih loklam amkah hanah toksah thaih, sethaih poeng hanah toksah thaih kami pongah palungboeng hmah.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Palungphui hmah loe, palung doeh baesak hmah: zaehaih sak hanah kahoih ai poekhaih to tawn hmah.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Sethaih sah kaminawk loe pahnawt sut ah om tih, toe Angraeng zing kaminawk loe long to toep o tih.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be: ] yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be].
Sethaih sah kami loe akra ai ah om mak ai boeh: ue, anih ih ahmuen to na pakrong khing cadoeh, na hnu mak ai.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Toe tuinom tawn kaminawk loe long hae toep o ueloe, kating ai monghaih hoiah khosak nawm o tih.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
Kasae kami mah loe katoeng kami to pacaeng moe, haa a kaek thuih.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
Toe anih ih atue pha tih boeh, tiah Angraeng mah panoek pongah, anih to pahnui thuih.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of upright conversation.
Kasae kaminawk mah amtang kaminawk to amtimsak moe, toenghaih sah kaminawk to hum hanah, sumsen aphong thuih pacoengah, kalii to anueng thuih.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Toe angmacae ih sumsen mah angmacae ih palung to thun pae ueloe, palaanawk doeh angkhaek pae tih.
16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many wicked.
Kahoih ai kami angraeng parai pongah loe, katoeng kami mah tawn ih hmuen zetta to hoih kue.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
Kasae kami ih ban loe angkhaek tih: toe katoeng kami loe Angraeng mah patawnh.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Katoeng kaminawk ih aninawk loe Angraeng mah panoek pae: nihcae ih qawk loe dungzan khoek to cak poe tih.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Nihcae loe sethaih tue phak naah azatpaw o mak ai; takaang thohhaih atue naah doeh zok amhah o tih.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
Toe kahoih ai kami loe anghma angtaa tih: Angraeng ih misanawk loe kathawk tuu baktiah om o cadoeh, amro o ueloe, hmaikhue baktiah anghma o boih tih.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
Kahoih ai kami loe hmuenmae to coi, toe pathok let ai: toe katoeng kami mah loe palungnathaih to amtuengsak moe, paek let.
22 For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.
Angraeng tahamhoihaih tongh kaminawk loe, long hae toep o tih; anih mah tangoeng ih kaminawk loe pahnawt sut tih.
23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
Kahoih kami ih khok tangkannawk loe Angraeng mah caksak; a caehhaih loklam nuiah palung tongh.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.
Anih loe amthaek cadoeh, amtim bung mak ai: tipongah tih nahaeloe Angraeng mah anih ih ban to patawnh pae.
25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Katoeng kami to pahnawt sut, anih ih caanawk loe buh hnik o ti, tiah ka qoeng li nathuem hoi kamtong vaihi mitong khoek to ka panoek vai ai vop.
26 [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is] blessed.
Anih loe tahmenhaih tawnh moe, minawk han a paek pongah, a caanawk mah tahamhoihaih hnuk o.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
Kasae hmuen to caehtaak ah loe, kahoih hmuen to sah ah; to tiah nahaeloe prae thungah na om poe tih.
28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Angraeng loe toenghaih to koeh pongah, angmah ih kaciim kaminawk to pahnawt sut ai; nihcae to dungzan khoek to khet poe: toe kasae kaminawk ih caanawk loe pahnawt suthaih to tongh o tih.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
Katoeng kami loe long to toep ueloe, to ah dungzan khoek to om tih.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
Katoeng kami ih pakha mah loe palunghahaih lok to thuih; anih ih palai mah doeh toenghaih lok ni thuih.
31 The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Anih loe Sithaw ih kaalok to palung thungah suek pongah, a caeh naah amthaek mak ai.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
Kasae kami loe katoeng kami to hum hanah, angang.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Toe Angraeng mah anih to kasae kami ban ah caehtaak sut mak ai, lokcaek naah doeh anih to sungsak mak ai.
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
Angraeng to zing ah loe a loklam to pazui ah, prae toep hanah anih mah na pakoeh tih: kasae kaminawk amro o naah, to hmuen to na hnu tih.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
Kasae kami loe thacak moe, long kahoih pongah amprawk thing kahing baktiah qoeng tahang to ka hnuk.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Toe anih loe laemh ving boeh, khenah, om ai boeh: ue, anih to ka pakrong, toe anih loe hnu thai ai boeh.
37 Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end of [that] man [is] peace.
Kahoih kami hnuk ah bangah, katoeng kami to khen ah: to tiah sah kami loe hnukkhuem ah monghaih to hnu tih.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Zaehaih sah kaminawk loe amro o ueloe, sethaih sah kaminawk loe hnukkhuem ah amrohaih tong o tih.
39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble.
Katoeng kami pahlonghaih loe Angraeng ih ni: raihaih tongh naah Angraeng loe nihcae thacakhaih ah oh.
40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
Angraeng mah nihcae to abomh ueloe, pahlong tih: anih khaeah amha o pongah, anih mah kasae kaminawk ban thung hoiah nihcae to pahlong tih.
