< Tingtoeng 16 >
1 David kah Laa Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
[O my soul], thou hast said to the LORD, Thou [art] my LORD: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
3 Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
[But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the excellent, 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 shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after] another [god]: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names into 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: thou maintainest my lot.
6 Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant [places]; yes, I have a goodly heritage.
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 counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night season.
8 BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my right hand, I shall 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.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: 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 )
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer 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 wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence [is] fullness of joy; at thy right hand [are] pleasures for evermore.
