< Psalms 16 >

1 A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Preserve me, O God, for I trusted in You.
David kah Laa Aw Boeipa Pathen namah dongah ka ying tih kai n'dawndah lah.
2 You have said to YHWH, “You [are] my Lord”; My goodness [is] not above You;
Ka Boeipa Yahovah namah taengah, “Nang phoeiah tah ka hnothen a om moenih,” ka ti.
3 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the honorable, all my delight [is] in them.
Diklai ah aka cim tih, aka khuet boeih taengah ka naep.
4 Their griefs are multiplied, [who] have hurried backward; I do not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, Nor do I take up their names on 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 YHWH [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, You uphold my lot.
BOEIPA tah kai kah buham khoyo neh ka boengloeng la om. Namah loh ka hmulung khaw na duel.
6 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Indeed, a beautiful inheritance [is] for me.
Rhilong khaw kai ham tah, hmuennaep ah cet tih, kai ham rho then ngawn coeng.
7 I bless YHWH who has counseled me; Also [in] the nights my reins instruct me.
Kai aka uen aka to BOEIPA te a yoethen saeh. Khoyin ah khaw ka kuel loh kamah n'toel.
8 I placed YHWH before me continually, Because [He is] at my right hand I am not moved.
BOEIPA loh kai kah bantang ben ah om tih, kamah hmai la ka mop taitu dongah ka tuen mahpawh.
9 Therefore my heart has been glad, And my glory rejoices, Also my flesh dwells confidently:
Te dongah ka lungbuei a kohoe tih ka kah thangpomnah loh a omngaih vaengah, ka pumsa khaw ngaikhuek la duem ni.
10 For You do not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor give your Holy One 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 You cause me to know the path of life; In Your presence [is] fullness of joys, Pleasant things [are] by Your right hand forever!
Hingnah caehlong te kai nan tueng tih, na hmai ah kohoenah kodam la om. Na bantang kut ah a yoeyah la ka ngailaem.
