اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 23

١ 1 مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ ٱلرَّبُّ رَاعِيَّ فَلَا يُعْوِزُنِي شَيْءٌ.

A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

٢ 2 فِي مَرَاعٍ خُضْرٍ يُرْبِضُنِي. إِلَى مِيَاهِ ٱلرَّاحَةِ يُورِدُنِي.

He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

٣ 3 يَرُدُّ نَفْسِي. يَهْدِينِي إِلَى سُبُلِ ٱلْبِرِّ مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱسْمِهِ.

He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

٤ 4 أَيْضًا إِذَا سِرْتُ فِي وَادِي ظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ لَا أَخَافُ شَرًّا، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ مَعِي. عَصَاكَ وَعُكَّازُكَ هُمَا يُعَزِّيَانِنِي.

For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

٥ 5 تُرَتِّبُ قُدَّامِي مَائِدَةً تُجَاهَ مُضَايِقِيَّ. مَسَحْتَ بِٱلدُّهْنِ رَأْسِي. كَأْسِي رَيَّا.

Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

٦ 6 إِنَّمَا خَيْرٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ يَتْبَعَانِنِي كُلَّ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِي، وَأَسْكُنُ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَى مَدَى ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
