Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me.

Cantique de David. L’Éternel est mon berger: je ne manquerai de rien.

2 He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment.

Il me fait reposer dans de verts pâturages, Il me dirige près des eaux paisibles.

3 He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.

Il restaure mon âme, Il me conduit dans les sentiers de la justice, A cause de son nom.

4 For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation.

Quand je marche dans la vallée de l’ombre de la mort, Je ne crains aucun mal, car tu es avec moi: Ta houlette et ton bâton me rassurent.

5 You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is!

Tu dresses devant moi une table, En face de mes adversaires; Tu oins d’huile ma tête, Et ma coupe déborde.

6 And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days.

Oui, le bonheur et la grâce m’accompagneront Tous les jours de ma vie, Et j’habiterai dans la maison de l’Éternel Jusqu’à la fin de mes jours.
