JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1Aw kaminawk, na thuih o ih loknawk loe toeng tangtang hmang maw? Aw kaminawk, katoeng ah lok na caek o hmang maw?
1(58-1) For the Leader; Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David; Michtam. (58-2) Do ye indeed speak as a righteous company? Do ye judge with equity the sons of men?
2Tangtang ni, palung thung hoiah kasae na poek o, na bannawk mah long nuiah athii to palong o.
2(58-3) Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out in the earth the violence of your hands.
3Kasae kaminawk loe zok thung hoiah ni a set o roe boeh; tapen tangsuek nathuem hoiah loklam amkhraeng o boeh moe, lok amlai o boeh.
3(58-4) The wicked are estranged from the womb; the speakers of lies go astray as soon as they are born.
4Nihcae ih kasoe loe pahui kasoe baktiah oh moe, naa pang pahui sae baktiah a oh o;
4(58-5) Their venom is like the venom of a serpent; they are like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ear;
5kawkruk ah thoemhaih hoiah thuih pae khing cadoeh, thuikungnawk ih lok to tahngai mak ai.
5(58-6) Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, or of the most cunning binder of spells.
6Aw Sithaw, nihcae pakha thung ih haanawk to khaek pae ah; Aw Angraeng, saning nawk kaipui ih anonawk to khaek pae ah.
6(58-7) Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth; break out the cheek-teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7Nihcae loe kalong tui baktiah kang o boih nasoe; kalii anueng moe, kah o naah, palaanawk to angkhaek pae boih nasoe.
7(58-8) Let them melt away as water that runneth apace; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.
8Nihcae loe longnat mah caeh naah atui amkaw noehnoeh baktih, atue pha ai ah tapen nongpata mah ni aengh hnu ai baktih toengah, dueh o boih nasoe.
8(58-9) Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
9Nang ih laomnawk mah soekhring thing hoi tik ih hmai kabae panoek ai naah, kahing soekhring kung hoi hmai kangqong soekhring kung to, kamhae takhi mah hmut phaeng nasoe.
9(58-10) Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will sweep it away with a whirlwind, the raw and the burning alike.
10Kami katoeng loe lulakhaih hnuk naah anghoe tih; anih loe kasae kaminawk ih athii hoiah a khok to pasae tih.
10(58-11) The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11To naah kaminawk mah, katoeng kaminawk hanah tangqum loe oh tangtang; anih loe long lokcaekkung Sithaw tangtang ni, tiah thui o tih.
11(58-12) And men shall say: 'Verily there is a reward for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.'
