Psalms 23

1 A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.

(En salme af David.) HERREN er min Hyrde, mig skal intet fattes,

2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside tranquil water.

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

3 He brings back my life; he guides me along right paths for his name's sake.

han fører mig ad rette Veje for sit Navns Skyld.

4 Even though I walk through a valley of darkest shadow, I will not fear harm since you are with me; your rod and your staff 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 have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over.

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

6 Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life; and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!

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