Of David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, so that the king drove him away. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.
2 Ka hinghaih mah Angraeng to amoek haih tih: poeknaem kaminawk mah thaih o nasoe loe, anghoe o nasoe.
My soul boasts in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice.

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9 Nangcae anih ih kaciim kaminawk, Angraeng to zii oh: anih zii kami loe amtanghaih om mak ai.
Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?
13 Loksae thuih han ai ah, na palai to angsumh loe, lok amlai han ai ah, na pahni to angsum ah.
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.
14 Kasae hmuen to caeh taak ah loe, kahoih hmuen to sah ah; angdaehhaih to pakrongh loe patom ah.
Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.

But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.
