Tingtoeng 23

1 David kah Tingtoenglung BOEIPA loh kai n'dawn dongah, m'vaitah mahpawh.

A psalm of David. Since the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.

2 Toitlim annoe ah kai n'kol sak tih, duemnah tui taengla kai n'khool.

He gives me rest in green fields. He leads me towards quietly flowing streams.

3 Ka hinglu han thoelh tih, amah ming ham duengnah namtlak ah kai m'mawt

He revives me. He guides me along the right paths because that's the kind of person he is.

4 Dueknah hlipkhup kolrhawk ah ka caeh vaengah pataeng, nang loh namah kah mancai neh kai nan om puei tih, na conghol loh kai n'hloep dongah yoethaenah khaw ka rhih pawh.

Even when I walk through the valley dark as death, I'm not afraid of any evil, because you are right there with me; your rod and your staff protect me.

5 Kai aka daengdaeh hmaiah pataeng, kai mikhmuh ah caboei nan tawn. Ka lu he situi neh na men sak tih, ka boengloeng he a coihdanah om.

You prepare a banquet for me before my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with olive oil. My cup is so full it overflows!

6 Ka hingnah tue puet te, hnothen neh sitlohnah bueng loh kai n'hloem saeh lamtah, BOEIPA im ah khohnin takuem kho ka sa eh.

I'm absolutely certain that your goodness and trustworthy love will be with me all through my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
