< Psalms 23 >
1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; 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 lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside 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 soul; He guideth me in straight paths for His name's 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 walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.
你的牧杖和短棒,是我的安慰舒暢。
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
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 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
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。
