Psalms 23

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

INkosi ingumelusi wami, kangiyikuswela.

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

Iyangilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza; iyangiholela emanzini okuphumula.

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

Ibuyisa umphefumulo wami, ingiholele endleleni zokulunga ngenxa yebizo layo.

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.

Yebo, loba ngihamba esihotsheni sethunzi lokufa, kangiyikwesaba okubi, ngoba wena ulami; intonga yakho lodondolo lwakho, khona 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.

Uyalungisa itafula phambi kwami ngaphambi kwezitha zami; ugcoba ikhanda lami ngamafutha, inkezo yami 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.

Isibili okuhle lesihawu kuzangilandela insuku zonke zempilo yami; njalo ngizahlala endlini yeNkosi kuze kube nininini.
