Salme 23

1 En Psalme af David. Herren er min Hyrde, mig skal intet fattes.

A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.

2 Han lader mig ligge i skønne Græsgange; han leder mig til de stille rindende Vande.

In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

3 Han vederkvæger min Sjæl; han fører mig paa Retfærdigheds Veje for sit Navns Skyld.

He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

4 Naar jeg end skal vandre i Dødens Skygges Dal, vil jeg ikke frygte for ondt, thi du er med mig; din Kæp og din Stav, de skulle trøste mig.

Yes, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, these have comforted me.

5 Du bereder et Bord for mig over for mine Fjender; du har salvet mit Hoved med Olie, mit Bæger flyder over.

You has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].

6 Ikkun godt og Miskundhed skal følge mig alle mine Livsdage, og jeg skal blive i Herrens Hus igennem lange Tider.

Your mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
