1 Kathutkung: Devit Thoenae kasaknaw kecu dawk lungmathoe hoi awm hanh awh. Payonnae kasaknaw hai ut awh hanh.
[A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Na lungphuen sak hanh, lungkhueknae cettakhai haw. Lungmathoe hoi awm hanh. Hot ni teh, hawihoehnae koe doeh na hrawi.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of upright conversation.

But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end of [that] man [is] peace.

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
