Psalms 52

1 TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF DOEG THE EDOMITE, AND HE DECLARES TO SAUL AND SAYS TO HIM, “DAVID CAME TO THE HOUSE OF AHIMELECH.” Why do you boast in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.

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

2 Your tongue devises mischiefs, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

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

3 You have loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

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

4 You have loved all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

Nang kadumyenkung lai, pathoenae pueng hah na doun.

5 Also—God breaks you down forever, Takes you, and pulls you out of the tent, And He has uprooted you Out of the land of the living. (Selah)

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 And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.

Tamikalannaw ni hmawt awh vaiteh a taki awh han.

7 “Behold, the man who does not make God his strong place, And trusts in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.”

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 And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, For all time and forever,

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 thank You for all time, because You have done [it], And I wait [on] Your Name for [it is] good before Your saints!

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