Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

Kathutkung: Devit BAWIPA teh kaie tukhoumkung lah ao dawkvah, voutthoup hoi kaawm mahoeh.

2 In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

Pho kahring um vah na tabo sak teh, kâhatnae tui teng vah na hrawi.

3 My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

Ka hringnae a katha sak teh, amae min lahoi lannae lam dawk na hrawi.

4 Also — when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I 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 arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

Ka tarannaw hmalah rawca na poe, ka lû dawk satui na awi teh, kaie manang teh poum lah a poum.

6 Only — goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!

Ka hring nathung lungmanae hoi hawinae ni na kâbang sin vaiteh, BAWIPA im dawk a yungyoe ka o han.
