Psalms 23

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

Gospod je moj pastir, ne bom trpel pomanjkanja.

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

Napravlja mi, da se zleknem na zelenih pašnikih. Vodi me ob mirnih vodah.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Mojo dušo obnavlja. Zaradi svojega imena me vodi po stezah pravičnosti.

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.

Da, čeprav hodim skozi dolino smrtne sence, se ne bom bal nobenega zla, kajti ti si z menoj; tvoja šiba in tvoja opora me tolažita.

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

Pred menoj pripravljaš mizo, v prisotnosti mojih sovražnikov. Mojo glavo maziliš z oljem, moja čaša prekipeva.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Zagotovo me bosta dobrota in usmiljenje spremljali vse dni mojega življenja, in v Gospodovi hiši bom prebival na veke.
