Psalms 23

1 A psalm of David. Since the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.

En Salme af David. HERREN er min Hyrde, mig skal intet fattes,

2 He gives me rest in green fields. He leads me towards quietly flowing streams.

han lader mig ligge paa grønne Vange. Til Hvilens Vande leder han mig, han kvæger min Sjæl,

3 He revives me. He guides me along the right paths because that's the kind of person he is.

han fører mig ad rette Veje for sit Navns Skyld.

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.

Skal jeg end vandre i Dødsskyggens Dal, jeg frygter ej ondt; thi du er med mig, din Kæp og din Stav er min Trøst.

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!

I mine Fjenders Paasyn dækker du Bord for mig, du salver mit Hoved med Olie, mit Bæger flyder over.

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.

Kun Godhed og Miskundhed følger mig alle mine Dage, og i HERRENS Hus skal jeg bo gennem lange Tider.
