Psalms 23

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

Cantique de David. L'Éternel est mon berger, je ne manque de rien.

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.

Dans des pacages verts Il me fait reposer, Il me mène le long des eaux tranquilles.

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.

Il restaure mon âme, Il me guide dans les ornières du salut, pour l'amour de son nom.

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].

Quand je chemine dans une sombre vallée, je ne redoute aucun mal, car tu es avec moi; ta houlette et ton bâton, c'est là ce qui me console.

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!

Tu as dressé devant moi une table en face de mes ennemis, tu as oint d'huile ma tête, et fait regorger ma coupe.

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.

Oui, le bonheur et la grâce me suivent tous les jours de ma vie, et la maison de l'Éternel est mon séjour ordinaire.
