Psalmi 23

1 Psalam. Davidov. Jahve je pastir moj: ni u čem ja ne oskudijevam;

“A psalm of David.” The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 na poljanama zelenim on mi daje odmora. Na vrutke me tihane vodi

In pastures of tender grass he causeth me to lie down: beside still waters he leadeth me.

3 i krijepi dušu moju. Stazama pravim on me upravlja radi imena svojega.

My soul he refresheth: he guideth me in the tracks of righteousness for the sake of his name.

4 Pa da mi je i dolinom smrti proći, zla se ne bojim, jer si ti sa mnom. Tvoj štap i palica tvoja utjeha su meni.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff—they indeed comfort me.

5 Trpezu preda mnom prostireš na oči dušmanima mojim. Uljem mi glavu mažeš, čaša se moja prelijeva.

Thou preparest before me a table in the presence of my assailants; thou anointest with oil my head: my cup overfloweth.

6 Dobrota i milost pratit će mene sve dane života moga. U Jahvinu ću domu prebivati kroz dane mnoge.

Surely, only goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to the utmost length of days.
