Salme 23

1 En Salme af David. HERREN er min Hyrde, mig skal intet fattes,

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

2 han lader mig ligge paa grønne Vange. Til Hvilens Vande leder han mig, han kvæger min Sjæl,

He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.

3 han fører mig ad rette Veje for sit Navns Skyld.

He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

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.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.

5 I mine Fjenders Paasyn dækker du Bord for mig, du salver mit Hoved med Olie, mit Bæger flyder over.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

6 Kun Godhed og Miskundhed følger mig alle mine Dage, og i HERRENS Hus skal jeg bo gennem lange Tider.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
