Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

Gospod je moj pastir, ne bom trpel pomanjkanja.

2 In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

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

3 My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

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

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.

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 Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

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

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!

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