Psalms 23

1 [A Psalm by David.] Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not lack.

En Salme af David. HERREN er min Hyrde, mig skal intet fattes,

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

han lader mig ligge paa grønne Vange. Til Hvilens Vande leder han mig, han kvæger min Sjæl,

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

han fører mig ad rette Veje for sit Navns Skyld.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Skal jeg end vandre i Dødsskyggens Dal, jeg frygter ej ondt; thi du er med mig, din Kæp og din Stav er min Trøst.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows.

I mine Fjenders Paasyn dækker du Bord for mig, du salver mit Hoved med Olie, mit Bæger flyder over.

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Jehovah's house forever.

Kun Godhed og Miskundhed følger mig alle mine Dage, og i HERRENS Hus skal jeg bo gennem lange Tider.
