Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Yahwe ni mchungaji wangu; sita pungukiwa na kitu.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

Yeye hunilaza katika majani mabichi; huniongoza kando ya maji matulivu.

3 He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.

Yeye huurejesha uhai wangu; huniongoza katika njia iliyo sahihi kwa ajili ya jina lake.

4 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.

Hata ijapokuwa nikipita katika bonde la uvuli na giza nene, sitaogopa kudhurika kwa kuwa wewe uko pamoja nami; fimbo yako na gongo lako vya nifariji.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Wewe waandaa meza mbele yangu katika uwepo wa maadui zangu; umenipaka mafuta kichwa changu na kikombe changu kinafurika.

6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Hakika wema na uaminifu wa agano vitaniandama siku zote za maisha yangu; nami nitaishi katika nyumba ya Yahwe milele!
