Saam 23

1 David ih Saam laa. Angraeng loe kai ih tuu toepkung ah oh; kam tang mak ai.

A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

2 Anih mah qam kahing ahmuen ah ang taboksak: anih mah tui taengah ang hoih.

He causes me to lie down in pastures of tender grass, He leads me by quiet waters.

3 Anih mah ka hinghaih tha ang caksak: anih mah angmah ih ahmin hanah, toenghaih loklam ah ang hoih.

He refreshes my soul, He leads me in paths of righteousness For His Name’s sake;

4 Ue, duekhaih tahlip mah khuk ih tahawt thungah ka caeh langlacadoeh, kai nang oh thuih pongah, kahoih ai hmuen roe to ka zii mak ai: nang ih thing hoi cunghet mah poekhaih ang mongsak.

Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for You [are] with me, Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.

5 Ka misanawk hmaa ah caboi nang paroep pae: ka lu ah situi nang bawh; ka boengloeng loe amtlai pok.

You arrange a table before me, In front of my adversaries, You have anointed my head with oil, My cup is full!

6 Ka hing thung hoihaih hoi palungnathaih to ka hnu poe ueloe, Angraeng imthung ah dungzan khoek to ka om tih boeh.

Surely goodness and kindness pursue me All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of YHWH, For [the] length of [my] days!
