< Psalms 52 >

1 Unto the end. The understanding of David. When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul, David went to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?
Kathutkung: Devit Oe athakaawme tami, bangkong ne thoenae hoi na kambawng. Cathut hawinae teh a kangning yungyoe.
2 All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.
Na lai ni rawknae heh a sak teh, sam ngawnae pataca patetlah dumyennae hah na sak.
3 You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.
Hawinae hlak thoenae hah na ngaihnawn teh, lannae hlak hai laithoe dei e hah na ngaihnawn. (Selah)
4 You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.
Nang kadumyenkung lai, pathoenae pueng hah na doun.
5 Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root 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 just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:
Tamikalannaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh a taki awh han.
7 “Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness.”
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, like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God unto eternity, and 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 confess to you forever, because you have accomplished it. And I will wait on your name, for it is good in the sight 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.
