Psalms 23

1 Yahweh, you [care for] me [like] a shepherd [cares for his sheep]. [So] I have everything that I need.

Žalm Davidův. Hospodin jest můj pastýř, nebudu míti nedostatku.

2 You [encourage] me [and give me peace]; [you are like a shepherd] who leads [his sheep] to places where there is plenty of green grass [for them to eat], and lets them rest beside streams where the water [is flowing] slowly.

Na pastvách zelených pase mne, k vodám tichým mne přivodí.

3 You renew my strength. You guide me along the roads that are the right ones [for me] in order that I can honor you.

Duši mou očerstvuje, vodí mne po stezkách spravedlnosti pro jméno své.

4 Even when I am walking through very dangerous dark ravines where I might be killed, I will not be afraid of anything because you are with me. You protect me [like a shepherd protects his sheep]. [He uses] his club and his walking stick [to protect them from being attacked by wild animals].

Byť mi se dostalo jíti přes údolí stínu smrti, nebuduť se báti zlého, nebo ty se mnou jsi; prut tvůj a hůl tvá, toť mne potěšuje.

5 You prepare a [great] feast for me, in a place where my enemies can see me. You [joyfully receive me], [as people joyfully receive the guests they have invited] [by] pouring [olive] oil over their heads. You have given me very many blessings!

Strojíš stůl před oblíčejem mým naproti mým nepřátelům, pomazuješ olejem hlavy mé, kalich můj naléváš, až oplývá.

6 I am certain that you will be good to me and act mercifully toward me as long as I live; and [then, O] Yahweh, I will live in your home [in heaven] forever.

Nadto i dobrota a milosrdenství následovati mne budou po všecky dny života mého, a přebývati budu v domě Hospodinově za dlouhé časy.
