1 David kah Laa Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
The inscription of a title to David himself. Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put trust in thee.
2 Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
3 Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
To the saints, who are in his land, he hath made wonderful all my desires 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.
Their infirmities were multiplied: afterwards they made haste. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5 BOEIPA tah kai kah buham khoyo neh ka boengloeng la om. Namah loh ka hmulung khaw na duel.
The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6 Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: for my inheritance is goodly to me.
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 hath given me understanding: moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
I set the Lord always in my sight: for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
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 hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 Ka hinglu he Saelkhui la na hnoo pawt vetih, namah kah hlangcim te hlan na hmuh sak mahpawh. (Sheol )
Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; nor wilt then give thy holy one to see corruption. (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.
Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
