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 am never in need.

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

He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters of rest,

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

he refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to 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.

And when my way lies through a valley of gloom, I fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff 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.

You spread a table for me in face of my foes; with oil you anoint my head, and my cup runs over.

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 goodness and love will pursue me – all the days of my life. In the house of the Lord I will live through the length of the days.
