< Psalms 23 >
1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA teh kaie tukhoumkung lah ao dawkvah, voutthoup hoi kaawm mahoeh.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.
Pho kahring um vah na tabo sak teh, kâhatnae tui teng vah na hrawi.
3 He restoreth my soul; He guideth me in straight paths for His name's sake.
Ka hringnae a katha sak teh, amae min lahoi lannae lam dawk na hrawi.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
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.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Ka tarannaw hmalah rawca na poe, ka lû dawk satui na awi teh, kaie manang teh poum lah a poum.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Ka hring nathung lungmanae hoi hawinae ni na kâbang sin vaiteh, BAWIPA im dawk a yungyoe ka o han.
