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.

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

2 Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

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

3 Thou hast 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 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

Nang kadumyenkung lai, pathoenae pueng hah na doun.

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)

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 'Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth 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, To the age and for 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 thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy saints!

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