< Psalms 23 >

1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,
INkosi ingumelusi wami, kangiyikuswela.
2 In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.
Iyangilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza; iyangiholela emanzini okuphumula.
3 My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,
Ibuyisa umphefumulo wami, ingiholele endleleni zokulunga ngenxa yebizo layo.
4 Also — when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod and Thy staff — they comfort me.
Yebo, loba ngihamba esihotsheni sethunzi lokufa, kangiyikwesaba okubi, ngoba wena ulami; intonga yakho lodondolo lwakho, khona kuyangiduduza.
5 Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!
Uyalungisa itafula phambi kwami ngaphambi kwezitha zami; ugcoba ikhanda lami ngamafutha, inkezo yami iyaphuphuma.
6 Only — goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
Isibili okuhle lesihawu kuzangilandela insuku zonke zempilo yami; njalo ngizahlala endlini yeNkosi kuze kube nininini.
