1Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.
1Sithaw loe poekciim kami hoi Israelnawk nuiah hoih tangtang.
2But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; my steps had nearly slipped.
2Toe ka khok loe amthaek tom boeh; kang doethaih ahmuen angthuih tom boeh.
3For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
3Poeksae kaminawk mah hnuk o ih tahamhoihaih to ka hnuk naah, amthu kaminawk to ka khit moeng boeh.
4They have no struggle in their death; their bodies are well-fed.
4Nihcae loe duek naah patangkhang o ai; ngantui o moe, thacak o.
5They are free of the burdens others carry; they are not afflicted like other men.
5Nihcae loe minawk kalah baktiah raihaih panoek o ai; minawk baktiah patang o ai.
6Therefore pride is their necklace; a garment of violence covers them.
6To pongah amoekhaih to bungmu baktiah a oih o; pacaekthlaekhaih to khukbuen baktiah angkhuk o.
7From their prosperity proceeds iniquity; the imaginations of their hearts run wild.
7Hmuenmae hoi angraeng o pongah, nihcae ih mik loe tasa bangah tacawt dok; nihcae loe palung thung hoi poek ih hmuen pongah kamthlai ah koeh o.
8They mock and speak with malice; with arrogance they threaten oppression.
8Nihcae mah kahoih ai pacaekthlaekhaih to pahnuih o thuih; amoekhaih lok apaeh o.
9They set their mouths against the heavens, and their tongues strut across the earth.
9Nihcae loe pakha hoiah vannawk to kasae thuih o moe, palai to long pum ah amkaeh o sak.
10So their people return to this place and drink up waters in abundance.
10To pongah Sithaw mah angmah ih kaminawk to amlaemsak let moe, a paek ih tui to kamhah ah naek o.
11The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
11Nihcae mah, Kawbangmaw Sithaw mah panoek tih? Kasang koek ah kaom loe panoekhaih tawnh maw? tiah thuih o.
12Behold, these are the wicked— always carefree as they increase their wealth.
12Khenah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk loe hae tiah oh o; nihcae loe long nuiah khosak hoih o moe, angraeng o aep aep.
13Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure; in innocence I have washed my hands.
13Tangtang ni, ka suek ih kaciim poekhaih loe azom pui ni; zaehaih om ai ah kam saeh ih ban doeh azom pui ah ni oh.
14For I am afflicted all day long and punished every morning.
14Ni thokkruek patang ka khang, akhawnbang kruek thuitaekhaih to ka tongh.
15If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.
15To tiah kasae thuih han ka poek nahaeloe, khenah, na caanawk nuiah kasae sah kami ah ni ka om tih.
16When I tried to understand all this, it was troublesome in my sight
16Hae hmuen hae kawbangmaw ka panoek thaih han, tiah ka poek naah, kai hanah loe panoek han rai parai hmuen ah oh;
17until I entered God’s sanctuary; then I discerned their end.
17hnukkhuem ah loe Sithaw ih hmuenciim thungah ka phak, to naah ni to hmuennawk boenghaih to ka panoek thai vop.
18Surely You set them on slick ground; You cast them down into ruin.
18Tangtang thuih nahaeloe nang mah ni nihcae to kamnae ahmuen ah na suek moe, nihcae to amrohaih thungah na vah.
19How suddenly they are laid waste, completely swept away by terrors!
19Nihcae loe kawbangmaw, nawnetta thungah amro o halat! Hnukkhuem ah loe zitthok hmuen mah nihcae to paduek boih boeh.
20Like one waking from a dream, so You, O Lord, awaken and despise their form.
20Kami mah angthawk naah amang to poek baktih toengah, Aw Angraeng, nang thawk tahang naah, nihcae poekhaih to tiah doeh sah pae hmah.
21When my heart was grieved and I was pierced within,
21To tiah palung ka nat moe, ka poekhaih anghmang sut.
22I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before You.
22Kai loe amthu kami, tidoeh panoek ai kami ah ka oh; na hmaa ah kasan moi baktiah ni ka oh sut boeh.
23Yet I am always with You; You hold my right hand.
23Toe kai loe nang khaeah ka oh poe; ka bantang ban hae nang patawnh pae.
24You guide me with Your counsel, and later receive me in glory.
24Nangmah loe na thoemhaih hoiah loklam nang patuek ueloe, lensawkhaih thungah nang caeh haih tih.
25Whom have I in heaven but You? And on earth I desire no one besides You.
25Nang ai ah loe van ah ka tawnh ih mi maw oh vop? Nang pacoengah loe long nuiah ka koeh ih mi doeh om ai.
26My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
26Ka ngan hoi ka palung loe amro boeh; toe Sithaw loe ka palungthin thacakhaih ah oh moe, dungzan ah kai ih taham ah ni oh.
27Those far from You will surely perish; You destroy all who are unfaithful to You.
27Khenah, nang hoi angthla kaminawk loe amro o boih tih; nang khae hoi amkhraeng moe, oep om ai ah khosah kaminawk loe nam rosak boih tih.
28But as for me, it is good to draw near to God. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may proclaim all Your works.
28Toe kai loe Sithaw khaeah anghnaih han hoih; na toksakhaihnawk boih ka thuih hanah, Angraeng Sithaw khaeah ka buep.
