< Tingtoeng 16 >
1 David kah Laa Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
2 Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
3 Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
4 A tloe aka oei rhoek tah a nganboh la pung. Amih thii te tuisi ka bueih pawt vetih ka hmuilai neh amih ming te ka khuen mahpawh.
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
5 BOEIPA tah kai kah buham khoyo neh ka boengloeng la om. Namah loh ka hmulung khaw na duel.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
6 Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
7 Kai aka uen aka to BOEIPA te a yoethen saeh. Khoyin ah khaw ka kuel loh kamah n'toel.
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Te dongah ka lungbuei a kohoe tih ka kah thangpomnah loh a omngaih vaengah, ka pumsa khaw ngaikhuek la duem ni.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
10 Ka hinglu he Saelkhui la na hnoo pawt vetih, namah kah hlangcim te hlan na hmuh sak mahpawh. (Sheol )
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol )
11 Hingnah caehlong te kai nan tueng tih, na hmai ah kohoenah kodam la om. Na bantang kut ah a yoeyah la ka ngailaem.
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
