Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.

祂使我臥在青綠的草場，又領我走進幽靜的水旁。

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

祂使我的心靈得到舒暢。祂為了自己名號的原由，領我踏上了正義的坦途。

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

縱使我走過陰森的幽谷，我也不怕兇險，因你與我同住。

4 Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shades of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

你的牧杖和短棒，是我的安慰舒暢。

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

祂在我對頭前面，為我擺設了筵席；祂在我的頭上傅油，使我的杯爵滿溢。

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

在我一生歲月裏，幸福與慈愛常隨不離；我要住在上主的殿裏，直至悠遠的時日。
