Salme 23

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

A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.

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 tranquil water.

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

He brings back my life; he guides me along right paths 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 a valley of darkest shadow, I will not fear harm since you are with me; your rod and your staff 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 have anointed 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 covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life; and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!
