< Psalms 16 >
1 Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for I trust in thee.
David kah Laa Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
2 Thou [my soul] hast said to Jehovah, Thou art the Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee; —
Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
3 To the saints that are on the earth, and to the excellent [thou hast said], In them is all my delight.
Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another: their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, and I will not take up their names into my lips.
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.
5 Jehovah is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
BOEIPA tah kai kah buham khoyo neh ka boengloeng la om. Namah loh ka hmulung khaw na duel.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
7 I will bless Jehovah, who giveth me counsel; even in the nights my reins instruct me.
Kai aka uen aka to BOEIPA te a yoethen saeh. Khoyin ah khaw ka kuel loh kamah n'toel.
8 I have set Jehovah continually before me; because [he is] at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
9 Therefore my heart rejoiceth, and my glory exulteth; my flesh moreover shall dwell in hope.
Te dongah ka lungbuei a kohoe tih ka kah thangpomnah loh a omngaih vaengah, ka pumsa khaw ngaikhuek la duem ni.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol, neither wilt thou allow thy Holy One to see corruption. (Sheol )
Ka hinglu he Saelkhui la na hnoo pawt vetih, namah kah hlangcim te hlan na hmuh sak mahpawh. (Sheol )
11 Thou wilt make known to me the path of life: thy countenance is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Hingnah caehlong te kai nan tueng tih, na hmai ah kohoenah kodam la om. Na bantang kut ah a yoeyah la ka ngailaem.
