< Psalm 16 >

1 MAING Kot, kom kotin sinsila ia, pwe i liki komui.
A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
2 Ngai potoan ong Ieowa: Komui ta ai Kaun, sota eu pai, me i asa, pwe komui eta.
I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
3 O I kin indang saraui kan, me kin mi nan sappa: Met akan pwin isou, me I kin pokepoke sang ni mongiong i.
As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
4 A irail me kin idedauen amen, pan lodi ong apwal toto. I sota mauki arail mairong, me doleki nta, de mar arail I sota pan inda.
Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
5 A Ieowa ai pai o ai peren; Komui kin kolekol ai soso.
The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
6 I diaradar ai pwais en sap kaselel eu, ei pai kaselel eu, me i sosokier.
The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
7 I kapinga Ieowa, me kotin kalolekong ia; pil ni pong mudilik i kan kin padaki ong ia.
I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
8 I kin ariri Ieowa ansau karos, pwe a kotikot ni pali maun i, i ap sota pan luetala.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
9 I me mongiong i kin peren kida, o ngen i kin popol, pwe pil pali uduk ai pan moleilei.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
10 Pwe kom sota pan kotin mauki, ngen i en mimieta nan wasan mela, o kom sota pan mueid ong, me sapwilim omui saraui men pan mor pasang. (Sheol h7585)
For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Kom kin kotin kaasa kin ia al maur; peren lapalap mi mon silang omui, o meid lingan ni pali maun en lim omui kokolata.
You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
