< Salme 23 >

1 En Salme af David. HERREN er min Hyrde, mig skal intet fattes,
A Psalm. Of David. The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.
2 han lader mig ligge paa grønne Vange. Til Hvilens Vande leder han mig, han kvæger min Sjæl,
He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.
3 han fører mig ad rette Veje for sit Navns Skyld.
He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.
4 Skal jeg end vandre i Dødsskyggens Dal, jeg frygter ej ondt; thi du er med mig, din Kæp og din Stav er min Trøst.
Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.
5 I mine Fjenders Paasyn dækker du Bord for mig, du salver mit Hoved med Olie, mit Bæger flyder over.
You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.
6 Kun Godhed og Miskundhed følger mig alle mine Dage, og i HERRENS Hus skal jeg bo gennem lange Tider.
Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.
