Psalms 53

1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

[Aka mawt ham Mahalath dongkah David hlohlai] Hlang ang loh amah lungbuei neh Pathen om pawh a ti. A poci uh dongah dumlai la tueilaeh kap tih, a then aka saii om pawh.

2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.

Vaan lamkah Pathen loh hlang ca rhoek te hmuh hamla a dan. Pathen aka toem lungming khaw om van nim?

3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Anih loh hlang boeih te tun a balkhong sak tih a rhonging uh coeng dongah hnothen aka saii om pawh. Pakhat khaw om pawh.

4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

Boethae saii tih buh caak bangla ka pilnam aka yoop rhoek loh Pathen a khue uh pawt te ming uh pawt nim?

5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

Nang aka rhaeh thil kah rhuhrhong te Pathen loh a yaal dongah birhihnah om pawt dae birhihnah neh birhih uh. Amih te Pathen loh a hnawt dongah yah a bai.

6 O that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Amah loh Israel kah khangnah te Zion lamkah han khuen tih a pilnam kah thongtla te Pathen loh ham bal puei vaengah Jakob omngaih saeh lamtah Israel kohoe saeh.
