Psalms 23

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

Un Salmo de David. El Señor es mi pastor, y por ello tengo todo lo que necesito.

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.

Me da descanso en verdes pastos. Me guía a corrientes tranquilas.

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.

Me consuela, me guía por el camino correcto, por su nombre.

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].

Incluso cuando camino por el valle oscuro de la muerte, no tengo miedo de ningún mal, porque tú estás ahí conmigo. Tu vara y tu bastón me protegen.

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!

Preparas un banquete para mí en presencia mis enemigos. Me honras ungiendo mi cabeza con aceite. ¡Mi copa está tan llena que se desborda!

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.

Estoy completamente seguro de que tu bondad y tu amor inagotable estarán conmigo toda mi vida, y viviré para siempre en la casa del Señor.
