Psalms 23

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

Ihubo likaDavida. UThixo ungumelusi wami, angiyikuswela lutho.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters.

Ungilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza, ungikhokhelela emanzini apholileyo,

3 He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

uvuselela umphefumulo wami. Uyangihola ezindleleni zokulunga ngenxa yebizo lakhe.

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.

Loba ngidabula esigodini sethunzi lokufa, angiyikwesaba okubi ngoba wena ulami; intonga Yakho lodondolo Lwakho kuyangiduduza.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Ulungisa itafula phambi kwami emehlweni ezitha zami. Ugcoba ikhanda lami ngamafutha; inkomitsho yami igcwele iyaphuphuma.

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.

Impela okuhle lothando kuzangilandela zonke insuku zokuphila kwami, njalo ngizahlala endlini kaThixo kuze kube nininini.
