TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF DOEG THE EDOMITE, AND HE DECLARES TO SAUL AND SAYS TO HIM, “DAVID CAME TO THE HOUSE OF AHIMELECH.” Why do you boast in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.

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

Your tongue devises mischiefs, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

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

You have loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

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

You have loved all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

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.

Also—God breaks you down forever, Takes you, and pulls you out of the tent, And He has uprooted 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,

And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.

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.

“Behold, the man who does not make God his strong place, And trusts in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.”

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

And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, For all time and forever,

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 thank You for all time, because You have done [it], And I wait [on] Your Name for [it is] good before Your saints!
