< Psalms 52 >

1 To the Overseer. — An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.
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 Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
Na lai loh a talnah a moeh. Palyal neh paihat bangla haat tih a hlueng.
3 Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
Hno then lakah boethae na lungnah. Duengnah lakah a honghi te na thui. (Selah)
4 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
Hlangthai palat kah a lai loh dolhnah ol boeih te a lungnah.
5 Also — God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. (Selah)
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 And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
Tedae aka dueng rhoek loh a hmuh uh vaengah a rhih uh vetih anih te,
7 'Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'
“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 And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,
Tedae kai tah Pathen im kah olive thinghing bangla kumhal ah Pathen kah sitlohnah te ka pangtung yoeyah.
9 I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy 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.
