Tingtoeng 16
1 [David kah Laa] Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
A michtam of David. Keep 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, my happiness rests in you alone.
3 Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
Those who are holy in the land, they, they alone, are the noble ones; all my delight is in them.’
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.
Those who choose other gods find endless sorrow. In their offerings of blood I will have no part nor take their name 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 share and my portion, my fate is in your strong hands.
6 Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
The boundary lines of my life mark out delightful country, my heritage pleases me well.
7 Kai aka uen aka to BOEIPA te a yoethen saeh. Khoyin ah khaw ka kuel loh kamah n'toel.
I praise the Lord for his counsel, which so stirs my heart in the night.
8 BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
I keep the Lord always in mind: with him at my hand, I can never be moved.
9 Te dongah ka lungbuei a kohoe tih ka thangpomnah loh a omngaih vaengah, ka pumsa khaw ngaikhuek la duem ni.
So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.
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 give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit. (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 show me the path that leads to life, to that fulness of joy which is in your presence, and the pleasures dispensed by your hand evermore.
