¹{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam.} Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men?

¹Diktatna thu dai didein maw na gen taktak uh! Mihing tate aw, diktakin maw vai na hawm uh!

²Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

²Ahi, na lungtang uah thil thulimlou na hih nak ua; leitungah na khut ua thil ngongtatna na buk khia uhi.

³The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

³Migilou-saloute a nu uh gilsung akipanin leng Pathian laka khenin a om ua: a suah tak un juau thugenin a vak mang jel uhi.

⁴Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;

⁴A gu uh gul gu bang ahia: thangtom bengngong a bil hum bang tuh ahi uhi.

⁵Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.

⁵Huaiin gul aitawite aw tuh a ngaikhe jel keia, bangchibanga siamin bum mahle uh leng.

⁶O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.

⁶Pathian aw, a kam uah a hate uh tansak inla: Toupa aw, humpinelkai hatsanlaite ha lianpipite tuh tong khia in.

⁷Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:

⁷Amau tuh tui hattaka luang bangin tuimang uhenla: a thalte a a ngimin, sat tan bangin om jel hen.

⁸Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; [like] the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.

⁸Dokdawn, tuia, mang maimah jel bang hileh: a hunlou a numei nau neih, ni mel himhim mu lou bang hi hen aw.

⁹Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, -- they shall be whirled away.

⁹Na belte un ling satna a theihma un leng aman pingpeiin a la mang ding. A hinglai leh a kuanglai leng.

¹⁰The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked:

¹⁰Mi diktatin phulakna a muhin a kipak dinga: mi gilou-salou sisan ah a khe a sil ding hi.Huchiin miten, mi diktat adingin kipahman a hongom taktaka: lei ah vaihawmpa Pathian a hongom taktak ahi, a chi ding uhi.

¹¹And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.

¹¹Huchiin miten, mi diktat adingin kipahman a hongom taktaka: lei ah vaihawmpa Pathian a hongom taktak ahi, a chi ding uhi.
