Psalms 23

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

Gospod je moj pastir, ne bom trpel pomanjkanja.

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

Napravlja mi, da se zleknem na zelenih pašnikih. Vodi me ob mirnih vodah.

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

Mojo dušo obnavlja. Zaradi svojega imena me vodi po stezah pravičnosti.

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.

Da, čeprav hodim skozi dolino smrtne sence, se ne bom bal nobenega zla, kajti ti si z menoj; tvoja šiba in tvoja opora me tolažita.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over.

Pred menoj pripravljaš mizo, v prisotnosti mojih sovražnikov. Mojo glavo maziliš z oljem, moja čaša prekipeva.

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!

Zagotovo me bosta dobrota in usmiljenje spremljali vse dni mojega življenja, in v Gospodovi hiši bom prebival na veke.
