Sam 23

1 Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA teh kaie tukhoumkung lah ao dawkvah, voutthoup hoi kaawm mahoeh.

A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me.

2 Pho kahring um vah na tabo sak teh, kâhatnae tui teng vah na hrawi.

He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment.

3 Ka hringnae a katha sak teh, amae min lahoi lannae lam dawk na hrawi.

He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.

4 Duenae tâhlip ravo dawk ka cet nakunghai, yawthoenae hai ka taket mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai koevah nang na o, na sonron hoi na tahroe ni ka lung na mawng sak.

For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation.

5 Ka tarannaw hmalah rawca na poe, ka lû dawk satui na awi teh, kaie manang teh poum lah a poum.

You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is!

6 Ka hring nathung lungmanae hoi hawinae ni na kâbang sin vaiteh, BAWIPA im dawk a yungyoe ka o han.

And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days.
