Tingtoeng 16
1 David kah Laa Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
Michtam. Of David. Keep me safe, O God: for in you I have put my faith.
2 Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
O my soul, you have said to the Lord, You are my Lord: I have no good but you.
3 Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the noble in whom is all my delight.
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.
Their sorrows will be increased who go after another god: I will not take drink offerings from their hands, or take their names on 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 heritage and the wine of my cup; you are the supporter of my right.
6 Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
Fair are the places marked out for me; I have a noble heritage.
7 Kai aka uen aka to BOEIPA te a yoethen saeh. Khoyin ah khaw ka kuel loh kamah n'toel.
I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.
8 BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
I have put the Lord before me at all times; because he is at my right hand, I will not be moved.
9 Te dongah ka lungbuei a kohoe tih ka kah thangpomnah loh a omngaih vaengah, ka pumsa khaw ngaikhuek la duem ni.
Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.
10 Ka hinglu he Saelkhui la na hnoo pawt vetih, namah kah hlangcim te hlan na hmuh sak mahpawh. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not let my soul be prisoned in the underworld; you will not let your loved one see the place of death. (Sheol h7585)
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 will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.
