1 Thlak che a thawlhnaak ing kak kawlung khuiawh awi kqawn law hy; Amik awh ce Khawsa kqihnaak qoe qoe am tahy.
For the chief musician. A psalm of David the servant of Yahweh. An evil man speaks of his transgression from deep in his heart, there is no fear of God in his eyes.
2 Amah amik huh nawn awh cainaak huh amak ngaih ingkaw ak sawhnaak amyihna kyih am cah quhy.
For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.
3 Am kha awhkaw awikhqi ve se nawh qaai kqawnnaak hqoeng na awm hy; thlakcyi na am awm voel nawh ik-oeih lek sai aham qoeng uhy.
His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.
4 Ang zaihnaak kung awhkawng ak che doeng poek poepa hy; ik-oeih che sai aham cai qoe nawh amak thym ik-oeih ce am qoeng hy.
While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.
5 Aw Bawipa nang a leeknaak ingtaw khawk khan hak pha nawh, na ypawmnaak ing khawnghi hak pha hy.
Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches to the clouds.
6 Na dyngnaak taw khawmcung bau soeih amyihna awm nawh, na thymnaak taw dungnaak bau soeih amyihna awm hy. Aw Bawipa, nang ing thlanghqing ingkaw qamsakhqi boeih khoem hyk ti.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.
7 Na lungnaak amak dyt thai ve a phu am kqawn thai pai hy! Thlanghqing ak nem ak sang ing nang ang thlak khuiawh thuknaak hu boeih uhy.
How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 Na ipkhui awhkaw ik-oeih khawzah papa ce aw a ai unawh; na awmhlynaak lawngnu awhkawng aawk hly kawi ce pe hyk ti.
They feast upon the abundance of your house; you let them drink from the river of your delights.
9 Ikawtih nang a venawh hqingnaak tuibym ce awm nawh; na vangnaak awhkawng vangnaak ce hu unyng.
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we will see light.
10 Nang anik sim thlangkhqi venawh na lungnaak awm, na dyngnaak awm awm sak loet lah.
Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.
11 Ak oek qu thlang a khaw ce ka ven benna koeh law sak nawh, thlak che a kut ingawm koeh ni hqek seh.
Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Ik-oeih che ak saikhqi ikawmyihna aming tluk tice toek lah- khaawng na awm unawh, am tho hqa voel uhy.
Over there the evildoers have fallen; they are knocked down and are not able to get up.
