1Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
1Pathian aw, honhumbitin: nangmah ah ka ginna ka koih ngala.
2My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
2TOUPA kiangah. Nang tuh ka TOUPA na hi a; Nang loungal hoihna himhim ka neikei.
3As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
3Lei a mi siangthou omte jaw, amau jaw mi hoih, ka kipahna tengteng omna ahi uh, ka chi ahi.
4Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
4TOUPA pathian dang khennaa zangte tuh, a lungkhamnate uh a pung ding: a sisan dawn kithoihna uh ken jaw ka lan kei dinga, ka mukin a minte uh ka lou sam kei ding hi.
5Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
5TOUPA tuh ka goutan ding leh ka nou tan ding ahi: nang tuh ka tuam non hihkip sak jela.
6The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
6Tehna khaute tuh mun nuam tak khawngah ka tuam dingin a keta ahi; ahi, gou hoih tak ka luahta ahi.
7I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
7TOUPA, suangtuahsakpa, ka phat dinga: ahi, janchiang bangin ka lungsim honhilhpil jel hi.
8I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
8TOUPA tuh ka maah ka omsak gige a; ka taklama a om jiakin ka ling kei ding hi.
9Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
9Huaijiakin ka lungtang akipana, ka thupina a nuam hi: ka sa leng bit takin a om ding hi.
10For you will not leave my soul in Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. , neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
10Ka kha lah Sheol kiangah na nuse sin ngal keia: Na mi siangthou muatna mu dingin lah na phal sin sam kei hi.Nang hinna lampi non theisak dinga; na maah nuam dimletna a om hi; na khut taklamah khantawn kipahna ding a om hi.
11You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
11Nang hinna lampi non theisak dinga; na maah nuam dimletna a om hi; na khut taklamah khantawn kipahna ding a om hi.
