Psalms 52
1 For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.
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.
2 Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.
Na lai loh a talnah a moeh. Palyal neh paihat bangla haat tih a hlueng.
3 You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth.
Hno then lakah boethae na lungnah. Duengnah lakah a honghi te na thui. (Selah)
4 You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.
Hlangthai palat kah a lai loh dolhnah ol boeih te a lungnah.
5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living.
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.
6 The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,
Tedae aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih anih te,
7 “Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”
“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.
8 But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.
Tedae kai tah Pathen im kah olive thinghing bangla kumhal ah Pathen kah sitlohnah te ka pangtung yoeyah.
9 I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name— for it is good— in the presence of Your saints.
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.
