Tingtoeng 23

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

A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

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

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

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

My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

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.

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

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

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.

Only — goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
