Tingtoeng 23

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

“A psalm of David.” The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

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: beside still waters he leadeth me.

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

My soul he refresheth: he guideth me in the tracks of righteousness for the sake of his name.

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.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff—they indeed 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 preparest before me a table in the presence of my assailants; thou anointest with oil my head: my cup overfloweth.

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.

Surely, only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to the utmost length of days.
