Psalms 16
1 “A Michtham of David.” Preserve me, O God; for I have placed my trust in thee.
David kah Laa Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
2 [O my soul], thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my happiness is not without thee;
Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
3 [But] in the saints who are on the earth, and in the excellent—in them is all my delight.
Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
4 Multiplied shall be the sorrows of those who give presents to another god: I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor bear their names upon 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 Thou, O Lord, art the portion of my inheritance, and my cup; thou hast drawn my lot.
BOEIPA tah kai kah buham khoyo neh ka boengloeng la om. Namah loh ka hmulung khaw na duel.
6 My possessions are fallen in agreeable places: yea, my heritage is pleasant to me.
Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: also in the night seasons my reins admonish me.
Kai aka uen aka to BOEIPA te a yoethen saeh. Khoyin ah khaw ka kuel loh kamah n'toel.
8 I have always set the Lord before me, that, being at my right hand, I might not be moved.
BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
9 Therefore is rejoiced my heart, and my spirit is glad: also my flesh shall rest in safety.
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 abandon my soul to the grave: thou wilt not suffer thy pious [servant] to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Ka hinglu he Saelkhui la na hnoo pawt vetih, namah kah hlangcim te hlan na hmuh sak mahpawh. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt let me know the path of life: fulness of joy is in thy presence; pleasures are at thy right hand 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.
