1A psalm for Asaph. How good is God to Israel, to them that are of a right heart!
1Aw Sithaw, katoeng na lokcaekhaih to siangpahrang han paek ah loe, na toenghaih to siangpahrang ih capa hanah paek ah.
2But my feet were almost moved; my steps had well nigh slipped.
2Anih loe nangmah ih kaminawk to toenghaih hoiah lokcaek ueloe, nangmah ih amtang kaminawk hanah toenghaih to paek tih.
3Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, seeing the prosperity of sinners.
3Maenawk mah kaminawk khaeah monghaih to sin tih; maesomnawk mah toenghaih athaih to sin pae tih.
4For there is no regard to their death, nor is there strength in their stripes.
4Anih mah amtang kaminawk to lokcaek tih; kavawt kaminawk ih caanawk to pahlong ueloe, pacaekthlaek kaminawk to anghma angtaasak tih.
5They are not in the labour of men: neither shall they be scourged like other men.
5Ni hoi khrah oh nathung, adung kaminawk boih mah, nang to zii o tih.
6Therefore pride hath held them fast: they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.
6Anih loe aah kok ih phroh nuiah kakrah khotui baktih, long duksak khotui baktiah, angzo tathuk tih.
7Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: they have passed into the affection of the heart.
7Katoeng kami loe anih oh nathung khosak hoihaih to tawn o tih; khrah anghma ai karoek to, pop parai monghaih to om tih.
8They have thought and spoken wickedness: they have spoken iniquity on high.
8Tuipui maeto hoi maeto bang khoek to, vapui hoi long boenghaih khoek to, anih mah uk tih.
9They have set their mouth against heaven: and their tongue hath passed through the earth.
9Praezaek ah kaom kaminawk loe anih hmaa ah tabok o tih; a misanawk loe maiphu to palaek o tih.
10Therefore will my people return here and full days shall be found in them.
10Tarshish siangpahrang hoi tuipui thungah kaom prae ukkung siangpahrangnawk mah tangqum to sin o tih; Sheba hoi Seba siangpahrangnawk mah doeh tangqum to paek o tih.
11And they said: How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
11Ue, siangpahrangnawk boih anih hmaa ah tabok o tih; prae congca kaminawk boih mah anih ih tok to sah pae o tih.
12Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world they have obtained riches.
12Kavawt kami hoi bomkung tawn ai amtang kaminawk qah o naah, anih mah pathloep tih.
13And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, and washed my hands among the innocent.
13Anih mah amtang kami hoi kavawt kaminawk to tahmen ueloe, kavawt kaminawk hinghaih to pahlong tih.
14And I have been scourged all the day; and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.
14Alinghaih hoi pacaekthlaekhaih thung hoiah nihcae hinghaih to loisak tih; nihcae ih athii loe a mikhnuk ah atho om tih.
15If I said: I will speak thus; behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.
15Anih loe hinglung sawk tih; anih khaeah Sheba ih sui to paek o tih; apet ai ah anih han lawkthui pae o ueloe, ni thokkruek anih to saphaw o tih.
16I studied that I might know this thing, it is a labour in my sight:
16Long ah cang pung tih, Lebanon baktiah maesangnawk nuiah athaih tacawt tih; vangpui thung ih kaminawk loe long ih phroh baktiah qoeng o tahang tih.
17Until I go into the sanctuary of God, and understand concerning their last ends.
17Ahmin loe dungzan khoek to cak tih; ni oh nathung Anih ih ahmin to om poe tih. Anih rang hoiah kaminawk tahamhoih o tih; prae congca kaminawk mah anih to tahamhoihaih, tiah kawk o tih.
18But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: when they were lifted up thou hast cast them down.
18Israel Sithaw, Angraeng Sithaw loe tahamhoihaih om nasoe; anih mah khue ni dawnrai hmuennawk to sak!
19How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: they have perished by reason of their iniquity.
19Anih ih ahmin lensawkhaih loe dungzan khoek to om nasoe! Long boih a lensawkhaih hoiah koi nasoe. Amen hoi Amen.
20As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.
20Jesse capa David lawkthuihaihnawk loe boeng boeh.
21For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed:
