1 Asaph ih Saam laa. Sithaw loe thacak kaminawk salakah angdoet; sithawnawk salakah lokcaek.

GOD standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

2 Nangcae loe kasae kaminawk to nang sak o haih moe, katoeng ai ah nasetto maw lok na caek o han vop? (Selah)

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Amtang kami hoi ampa tawn ai kaminawk to abom oh; amtang kami hoi patangkhang kaminawk khaeah toenghaih hoiah lokcaek ah.

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

4 Amtang kami hoi kangaih kaminawk to pahnawt hmah; kasae kami ban thung hoiah pahlong ah.

Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 Nihcae loe tidoeh panoek o ai, panoek thaihaih doeh tawn o ai; kaving thungah amkaeh o; long ohhaih ahmuennawk boih loe cak ai.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

6 Kai mah, Nangcae loe long sithaw ah na oh o; nangcae loe Kasang koek ih caa ah na oh o, tiah ka thuih.

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

7 Toe nangcae loe kaminawk baktiah na dueh o ueloe, ukkung minawk kalah baktiah ni nam tim o toeng tih.

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

8 Aw Sithaw, angthawk ah loe, long hae lokcaek ah; long kaminawk boih loe nang ih qawktoep kami ah ni oh o.

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
