Psalms 23

1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

Ihubo likaDavida. UThixo ungumelusi wami, angiyikuswela lutho.

2 He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

Ungilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza, ungikhokhelela emanzini apholileyo,

3 He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

uvuselela umphefumulo wami. Uyangihola ezindleleni zokulunga ngenxa yebizo lakhe.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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