1 Aka mawt ham David kah Sheminith Tingtoeng BOEIPA, hlangcim om pawt tih hlang kah capa rhoek khuikah oltak rhoek khaw a milh coeng dongah n'khang dae
“For the leader of the music; to the octave. A psalm of David.” Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; The faithful are failing among men.
2 A hui taengah a poeyoek la rhip cal uh tih, a hmui khaw hnal. A lungbuei neh a lungbuei ah voek uh thae.
They speak falsehood one to another; With flattering lips, with a double heart, do they speak.
3 Duelhduelh aka cal tih a hmui a lai aka hnal boeih te BOEIPA loh rhet pa saeh.
May the LORD destroy all flattering lips, And the tongue which speaketh proud things!
4 Mah kah hmui lai neh n'na bitni. Unim mamih kah boei?,” a ti uh.
Who say, “With our tongues will we prevail; Our lips are our reliance; Who is lord over us?”
5 Mangdaeng kah rhoelrhanah kongah, khodaeng rhoek a kiinah kongah ka thoo pawn ni. BOEIPA loh, “A taengah a sat hlang te, khangnah khuila ka khueh ni, “a ti.
For the oppression of the poor and the sighing of the wretched, Now will I stand up, saith the LORD; I will set in safety him whom they puff at.
6 BOEIPA kah olthui tah aka caih olthui ni. Diklai hmaihueng khuiah voei rhih a ciil tangtae cak te a picai ni.
The words of the LORD are pure; Like silver purified in a furnace on the earth, Seven times refined.
7 BOEIPA nang loh, tebang thawnpuei taeng lamloh nan dawn nan dah vetih, kumhal duela nan kueinah ni.
Thou, O LORD! will watch over them; Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8 Halang loh kaepvai a tluek vaengah, hlang capa rhoek loh hlangyoe a pomsang ni.
The wicked walk on every side, When the vilest of men are exalted.
