Psalms 23

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

Ihubo likaDavida. UThixo ungumelusi wami, angiyikuswela lutho.

2 He causes me to lie down in pastures of tender grass, He leads me by quiet waters.

Ungilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza, ungikhokhelela emanzini apholileyo,

3 He refreshes my soul, He leads me in paths of righteousness For His Name’s sake;

uvuselela umphefumulo wami. Uyangihola ezindleleni zokulunga ngenxa yebizo lakhe.

4 Also—when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for You [are] with me, Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.

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

5 You arrange a table before me, In front of my adversaries, You have anointed my head with oil, My cup is full!

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

6 Surely goodness and kindness pursue me All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of YHWH, For [the] length of [my] days!

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