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.

Kathutkung: Devit Oe athakaawme tami, bangkong ne thoenae hoi na kambawng. Cathut hawinae teh a kangning yungyoe.

2 Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.

Na lai ni rawknae heh a sak teh, sam ngawnae pataca patetlah dumyennae hah na sak.

3 You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth.

Hawinae hlak thoenae hah na ngaihnawn teh, lannae hlak hai laithoe dei e hah na ngaihnawn. (Selah)

4 You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

Nang kadumyenkung lai, pathoenae pueng hah na doun.

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.

Hot patetlah Cathut ni kho na saknae hmuen koehoi na pâlei han. Kahringnaw onae ram koehoi na phawk vaiteh, na raphoe vaiteh, a yungyoe na kahma han. (Selah)

6 The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,

Tamikalannaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh a taki awh han.

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.”

Cathut kâuep laipalah, mae tawnta e kâuep niteh, mae hawihoehnae dawk mangkhak kaawm e hei, khenhaw! hei, tet awh vaiteh, a panuikhai awh han.

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.

Kai teh Cathut e im dawk olive thing dikhring e patetlah ka o teh, Cathut e a lungmanae teh a yungyoe ka kâuep han.

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.

Nang ni na sak dawkvah, a yungyoe na pholen han. Na tami kathoungnaw hmalah na min ka ngaihawi han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hetteh ahawi.
