< Psalms 16 >
1 Michtam of David. Keep me, O God; for I have taken refuge in Thee.
Kathutkung: Devit Oe Cathut, na roum sak haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, nang doeh na kângue.
2 I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my Lord; I have no good but in Thee';
Oe ka hringnae, Jehovah koe nang teh ka Bawipapa doeh, nang laipateh ka hawinae hah banghai bang hoeh lah ao telah dei haw.
3 As for the holy that are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.
Talaivan kaawm e tami kathoungnaw hanelah, ahnimouh teh tami kahawi katang, ka konawmnae pueng onae doeh telah ka ti.
4 Let the idols of them be multiplied that make suit unto another; their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.
Karangpoung lah cathut louk hnukkâbangnaw teh, rucatnae moi a khang awh han. Awi hane thuengnae thi hah ka poe mahoeh. Ka pahni hoi a min hai ka dei mahoeh.
5 O LORD, the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup, Thou maintainest my lot.
Oe BAWIPA, nang teh ka ham hoi ka manang lah na o teh, ka ham hah na cak sak.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
Ka khori teh, kai hanlah kahawipoung e ram dawk a kâen. Kahawi katang e râw teh ka coe han.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me.
Pouknae na kapoekung BAWIPA teh ka pholen han. Karum hai ka lungthin ni kahringnae a hroecoe.
8 I have set the LORD always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
BAWIPA teh kahma lah pou ka hruek. Ama teh aranglae kut lah ao dawkvah, ka kâhuen mahoeh.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also dwelleth in safety;
Hatdawkvah, ka lungthin a lunghawi teh, ka bawilennae teh a konawm. Ka takthai hai ngaihawinae hoi a kâhat han.
10 For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither wilt Thou suffer Thy godly one to see the pit. (Sheol )
Bangkongtetpawiteh, ka muitha teh phuen vah na cettakhai mahoeh. Na tami kathoung teh pawklawi e na pasoung mahoeh. (Sheol )
11 Thou makest me to know the path of life; in Thy presence is fulness of joy, in Thy right hand bliss for evermore.
Hringnae lamthung na hmu sak han. Nang koe konawmnae ka kuep teh ao. Nange aranglae kut dawk a yungyoe nawmnae teh ao.
