Psalms 52
1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When Doeg the Edomite went, and told Saul; and said to him, —David, hath entered the house of Ahimelech. Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, [lasteth] all the day.
Nang tha ak awm soeih, kawtih ik-oeih amak leek awh nang oek qu hy voei? Khawsa mik huh awh chah qai na ak awm nang, kawtih myngawi nang oek qu paqap?
2 Engulfing ruin, doth thy tongue devise, Like a whetted razor, working deceit;
Nam lai ing seetnaak doeng cai sih nawh; zawzi ak hqat thak bat amyihna awm hy, qaai kqawnnaak doeng ce sai hyk ti.
3 Thou lovest Evil more than good, Falsehood, more than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
Ik-oeih leek anglakawh ik-oeh che ce lungna lat tiksaw, awitak kqawn anglakawh amak thym awih kqawn ce ngaih bet hyk ti.
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
Aw qaai kqawnnaak ing ak be lai! Awih tlo kqawn ce lungna hyk ti.
5 GOD also, will break thee down utterly, He will snatch thee up and tear thee away tentless, And uproot thee, out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Khawsa ing kumqui plamnaak na ni nuk thla kaw; nang ce ni qawt kawmsaw na khawnghi im awhkawng nik dawk plawk kaw; na awmnaak qam awhkawng nak kqa mah na ni phu kaw.
6 The righteous shall both see and fear, And, over him, shall laugh:
Thlakdyngkhqi ing hu kawm usaw kqih kawm uh; a mingmih ing qaih na kawm usaw, vemyihna,
7 Lo! the man who made not God his refuge, —But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!
Khawsa ce vawngcak na taak kaana amah a boeinaak ypna lat nawh thlang hqenaak ben awh tha ak awm thyk thlang vawh awm hy ve!” tina kawm uh.
8 But, I, am like a flourishing olive-tree, in the house of God, I have put confidence in the lovingkindness of God, for times age-abiding and beyond.
Cehlai, kai taw Khawsa ip khuiawh ak qah olive thing amyihna awm nyng; amak dyt thai Khawsa lungnaak ce ni kumqui ingkaw kumqui dyna ka ypnaak.
9 I will praise thee to times age-abiding, Because thou didst effectually work, —And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.
Na ik-oeih sai awh kumqui dyna ni zoeksang kawng nyng saw; namah ang ming awh ngaih-unaak ce ta kawng nyng, kawtih namah ang ming taw leek hy. Nak thlang ciimkhqi haiawh nang ce nim kyih kawng nyng.
