Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Ihubo likaDavida. UThixo ungumelusi wami, angiyikuswela lutho.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.

Ungilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza, ungikhokhelela emanzini apholileyo,

3 He restoreth my soul; He guideth me in straight paths for His name's sake.

uvuselela umphefumulo wami. Uyangihola ezindleleni zokulunga ngenxa yebizo lakhe.

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.

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

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

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

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.

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