Salme 23

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

[A Psalm by David.] Jehovah 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 lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

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

He restores my soul. He guides 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.

Even 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 my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.

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

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Jehovah's house forever.
