Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.

祂使我臥在青綠的草場，又領我走進幽靜的水旁。

2 In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

祂使我的心靈得到舒暢。祂為了自己名號的原由，領我踏上了正義的坦途。

3 He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

縱使我走過陰森的幽谷，我也不怕兇險，因你與我同住。

4 Yes, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, these have comforted me.

你的牧杖和短棒，是我的安慰舒暢。

5 You has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].

祂在我對頭前面，為我擺設了筵席；祂在我的頭上傅油，使我的杯爵滿溢。

6 Your mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.

在我一生歲月裏，幸福與慈愛常隨不離；我要住在上主的殿裏，直至悠遠的時日。
