Psalms 23

1 A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

David ih Saam laa. Angraeng loe kai ih tuu toepkung ah oh; kam tang mak ai.

2 He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

Anih mah qam kahing ahmuen ah ang taboksak: anih mah tui taengah ang hoih.

3 He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

Anih mah ka hinghaih tha ang caksak: anih mah angmah ih ahmin hanah, toenghaih loklam ah ang hoih.

4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

Ue, duekhaih tahlip mah khuk ih tahawt thungah ka caeh langlacadoeh, kai nang oh thuih pongah, kahoih ai hmuen roe to ka zii mak ai: nang ih thing hoi cunghet mah poekhaih ang mongsak.

5 Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

Ka misanawk hmaa ah caboi nang paroep pae: ka lu ah situi nang bawh; ka boengloeng loe amtlai pok.

6 And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.

Ka hing thung hoihaih hoi palungnathaih to ka hnu poe ueloe, Angraeng imthung ah dungzan khoek to ka om tih boeh.
