Tso Siab rau Tus TSWV

  1Kuv cia siab rau tus TSWV uas
   yog kuv qhov chaw tso siab.
  Yog li cas nej hais rau kuv tias,
  “Koj cia li ya ib yam li tus noog mus rau saum tej roob,
  2rau qhov cov neeg siab phem nta
   hneevnti thiab
  tua hauv qhov uas tsaus ntuj nti tuaj
   raug cov neeg ncaj ncees.
  3Thaum uas txhua tsav yam vau tas lawm,
   cov neeg ncaj ncees ua tsis tau li cas.”

  4Tus TSWV nyob hauv nws lub Tuamtsev uas dawbhuv;
  tus TSWV lub zwmtxwv nyob saum ntuj.
  Nws pom neeg nyob txhua qhov
   thiab paub txhua yam uas lawv ua.
  5Tus TSWV sim cov neeg zoo thiab
   cov neeg siab phem ib yam nkaus;
  nws ntxub cov neeg uas nyiam ua nruj ua tsiv kawg li.

  6Nws tso cov hluavncaig uas cig ntsaj thuav
  ib yam li nag los rau saum cov neeg
   siab phem;
  thiab nws tso khaub zeeg cua rau txim rau lawv.
  7Tus TSWV yog tus ncaj ncees thiab
   hlub cov neeg uas ua zoo,
  cov neeg uas ua zoo yuav mus nyob
   ntawm nws lub xubntiag.

For the director of music. Of David.
  1In the Lord I take refuge.
   How then can you say to me:
   “Flee like a bird to your mountain.
  2For look, the wicked bend their bows;
   they set their arrows against the strings
  to shoot from the shadows
   at the upright in heart.
  3When the foundations are being destroyed,
   what can the righteous do?”

  4The Lord is in his holy temple;
   the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
  He observes everyone on earth;
   his eyes examine them.
  5The Lord examines the righteous,
   but the wicked, those who love violence,
   he hates with a passion.
  6On the wicked he will rain
   fiery coals and burning sulfur;
   a scorching wind will be their lot.

  7For the Lord is righteous,
   he loves justice;
   the upright will see his face.
