Saam 16
1 Aw Khawsa, ni loet sak lah, namah a venawh ni kang thuk law.
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
2 Bawipa venawh, Nang taw ka Bawipa na awm hyk ti; nang kaa taw leeknaak tehca awm am ta nyng,” ka ti.
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
3 Qam khuiawh ak awm thlang ciimkhqi ce, Boeimangnaak ing ak be kai a zeelnaak kungkhqi na awm uhy.
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
4 Ak chang khawsakhqi venna ak cenkhqi ak kawseetnaak taw pung khqoet kaw. A mingmih a thi ce khawsakhqi hamna am hawk pe kawng nyng saw, a mingmih ang ming awm ka hui awh ap kqawn qoe kawng nyng.
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
5 Bawipa, ka huh hly kawi ingkaw ka boet ce ni taak pe hyt hawh tiksaw; ka huh hly kawi ce ni taak pe khak hawh hyk ti.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
6 Khawqi ing a leeknaak soeih awh kai aham khan qu nawh; ka qo pang hly kawi awh ce zeel soeih nyng.
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
7 Khaw anik poek peekkung Bawipa ce kyihcah vang; khawmthan awh awm kak kawlung ing ni cawngpyi hy.
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 Bawipa ce ka haiawh awm sak poepa nyng. Anih ce kak tang ben awh a awm dawngawh, am thyn qoe ti kawng.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 Cedawngawh kak kawlung zeel nawh kam lai ak kaw zeel hy; ka pum awm a sa loet kaw.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
10 Ikawtih, nang ing phyi awh am ni cehta hyt kawm tiksaw, nak Thlang Ciim ce am thu sak kawp ti. (Sheol h7585)
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Hqingnaak lam ce nani sim sak hawh a dawngawh; na haiawh zeelnaak, nak tang ben awhkaw kumqui zeelnaak ing ni be sak kawp ti.
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
