< Psalms 23 >
1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, 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 rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the 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 soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names 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 should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.
你的牧杖和短棒,是我的安慰舒暢。
5 Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.
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 Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.
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。
