< Psalms 23 >
1 A psalm of David. Since the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.
祂使我臥在青綠的草場,又領我走進幽靜的水旁。
2 He gives me rest in green fields. He leads me towards quietly flowing streams.
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 revives me. He guides me along the right paths because that's the kind of person he is.
縱使我走過陰森的幽谷,我也不怕兇險,因你與我同住。
4 Even when I walk through the valley dark as death, I'm not afraid of any evil, because you are right there with me; your rod and your staff protect me.
你的牧杖和短棒,是我的安慰舒暢。
5 You prepare a banquet for me before my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with olive oil. My cup is so full it overflows!
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 I'm absolutely certain that your goodness and trustworthy love will be with me all through my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
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。
