Psalms 23

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

David ƒe ha. Yehowae nye kplɔnyela, eya ta naneke mahiãm o.

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

Lãnyiƒe damawo dzi wòna metsyɔ akɔ ɖo, eye wòkplɔm yi tɔʋu fafɛwo gbɔe,

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

hena nye luʋɔ gbɔ agbe. Ekplɔm to dzɔdzɔenyenye ƒe mɔwo dzi le eƒe ŋkɔ la ta.

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.

Ne mezɔ to ku ƒe balime si do viviti tsiɖitsiɖi hã la, nyemavɔ̃ dzɔgbevɔ̃e aɖeke o, elabena wòe le gbɔnye, eye wò lãkplɔti kple atikplɔ faa akɔ nam.

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

Èɖo kplɔ̃ ɖe akɔnyeme le nye ketɔwo ƒe ŋkume. Èsi ami ɖe ta nam, nye kplu yɔ gbagba.

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

Vavãe, dzɔgbenyui kple amenuveve adze yonyeme le nye agbemeŋkekewo katã me, eye manɔ Yehowa ƒe aƒe me ɖaa.
