< Psalms 16 >
1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
[David kah Laa] Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
4 The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with 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 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine 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 vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
7 I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
Kai aka uen aka to BOEIPA te a yoethen saeh. Khoyin ah khaw ka kuel loh kamah n'toel.
8 I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
9 Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
Te dongah ka lungbuei a kohoe tih ka thangpomnah loh a omngaih vaengah, ka pumsa khaw ngaikhuek la duem ni.
10 For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine 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 shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
Hingnah caehlong te kai nan tueng tih, na hmai ah kohoenah kodam la om. Na bantang kut ah a yoeyah la ka ngailaem.
