< Psalms 23 >
1 A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.
Ein salme av David. Herren er min hyrding, det vantar meg ingen ting.
2 In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.
Han fører meg til læger på grøne engjar; han leider meg til vatn der eg finn kvila.
3 He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.
Han kveikjer mi sjæl, han fører meg på rettferds stigar for sitt namn skuld.
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.
Endå um eg gjeng i daudeskuggens dal, so ottast eg ikkje for noko vondt; for du er med meg, din kjepp og din stav dei trøystar meg.
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].
Du dukar bord åt meg framfor augo på mine fiendar, du salvar mitt hovud med olje; det fløder yver mitt staup.
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.
Berre lukka og miskunn skal fylgja meg alle mine livdagar, og eg skal bu i Herrens hus i ævelengd.
