< Psalms 23 >
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.
祂使我臥在青綠的草場,又領我走進幽靜的水旁。
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters.
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 restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in 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 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
你的牧杖和短棒,是我的安慰舒暢。
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
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 Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.
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。
