A Maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the loving devotion of the LORD forever; with my mouth I will proclaim Your faithfulness to all generations.
2 Palungnathaih loe dungzan khoek to caak tih; vannawk boih nuiah na oepthohhaih to na caksak tih.
For I have said, “Loving devotion is built up forever; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness.”

You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant:
4 na tii to dungzan khoek to ka caksak moe, na caanawk ih adung khoek to na angraeng tangkhang to ka caksak han, tiah na thuih. (Selah)
‘I will establish your offspring forever and build up your throne for all generations.’”

For who in the skies can compare with the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD?

You crushed Rahab like a carcass; You scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
11 Vannawk loe nang ih hmuen ah oh o, long doeh nang ih ni; long hoi athung ah kaom hmuennawk boih loe, nang mah ni na sak.
The heavens are Yours, and also the earth. The earth and its fullness You founded.

North and south You created; Tabor and Hermon shout for joy at Your name.
13 Na ban loe thacakhaih hoiah koi; na ban loe thacak moe, na bantang ban loe sang.
Mighty is Your arm; strong is Your hand. Your right hand is exalted.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; loving devotion and faithfulness go before You.

They rejoice in Your name all day long, and in Your righteousness they exult.

Surely our shield belongs to the LORD, and our king to the Holy One of Israel.
19 Hnuksakhaih hoiah nangmah ih kaciim kami khaeah lok na thuih; thacak kami abomh hanah kang paek boeh; kaminawk thung hoi qoih ih kami maeto ka sangsak boeh.
You once spoke in a vision; to Your godly ones You said, “I have bestowed help on a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20 Ka tamna David to ka hnuk boeh; anih loe kaciim kaimah ih situi hoiah ka bawh boeh,
I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.

But I will not withdraw My loving devotion from him, nor ever betray My faithfulness.

I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.
35 David khaeah lok kam lai mak ai, tiah ka ciimhaih hoi vaito ka khawt ah lok ka kam boeh.
Once and for all I have sworn by My holiness— I will not lie to David—
36 Anih ih atii loe cak poe ueloe, anih ih angraeng tangkhang loe ka hmaa ih ni baktiah om tih.
his offspring shall endure forever, and his throne before Me like the sun,
37 Khrah baktiah cak poe ueloe, van ih oepthok hnukung baktiah om tih. (Selah)
like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.”
38 Toe nang mah nang pahnawt sut boeh moe, nang panuet boeh, situi na bawh ih kami nuiah palung na phui boeh.
Now, however, You have spurned and rejected him; You are enraged by Your anointed one.

You have bent the edge of his sword and have not sustained him in battle.
44 A lensawkhaih to na boengsak moe, anih ih angraeng tangkhang to long ah na vah pae ving boeh.
You have ended his splendor and cast his throne to the ground.
45 A qoeng li naah aninawk to na duemsak; azathaih hoiah anih to na khuk khoep boeh. (Selah)
You have cut short the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame.
46 Nasetto maw? Aw Angraeng, nang hawk poe han boeh maw? Palung na phuihaih hmai baktiah kangh tih maw?
How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath keep burning like fire?
47 Ka hinghaih loe nasetto maw duemh, tito panoek ah; na sak ih kaminawk loe azom pui ah ni oh o.
Remember the briefness of my lifespan! For what futility You have created all men!

What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? (Sheol h7585)

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants, which I bear in my heart from so many people—
51 Aw Angraeng, na misanawk mah kasae a thuih o; nihcae loe nangmah na caksak kami ih khok tangkannawk to pahnui o thuih boeh.
how Your enemies have taunted, O LORD, and have mocked every step of Your anointed one!
52 Angraeng khaeah tahamhoihaih dungzan khoek to om nasoe! Amen hoi Amen.
Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and amen.
