Tingtoeng 52

1 Edom Doeg loh cet tih Saul la, “David te Ahimelek im la cet coeng,” a ti nah tih a puen vaengkah, aka mawt ham David kah hlohlai. Hlangrhalh nang loh boethae neh bahamlae na thangthen uh. Pathen kah sitlohnah he hnin takuem ah cak.

For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.

2 Na lai loh a talnah a moeh. Palyal neh paihat bangla haat tih a hlueng.

You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!

3 Hno then lakah boethae na lungnah. Duengnah lakah a honghi te na thui. (Selah)

You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)

4 Hlangthai palat kah a lai loh dolhnah ol boeih te a lungnah.

You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!

5 Te cakhaw Pathen loh nang te a yoeyah la m'voeih vetih, nang te m'poep ni. Te vaengah dap khui lamkah nang te m'phuk vetih, mulhing rhoek kah khohmuen lamloh nang m'phuk ni.

But God will strike you down so hard you'll never get up. He will grab hold of you and drag you from your tent. He will tear you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Tedae aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih anih te,

Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, saying,

7 “Hlang khaw ke, Pathen vik amah kah lunghim la khueh pawt tih a khuehtawn cangpai dongah pangtung tih a talnah neh tanglue,” tila a nueih thiluh.

“See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”

8 Tedae kai tah Pathen im kah olive thinghing bangla kumhal ah Pathen kah sitlohnah te ka pangtung yoeyah.

But I'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love forever and ever.

9 Namah loh na saii coeng dongah kumhal ah nang kan uem vetih na then dongah na ming te na hlangcim rhoek hmuh ah ka lamtawn ni.

I will praise you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
