Sòm 23

1 Yon sòm David Bondye se bèje mwen; mwen p ap janm manke anyen.

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

2 Li fè m kouche nan patiraj vèt yo. Li mennen m akote dlo pezib yo.

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

3 Li restore nanm mwen. Li gide mwen nan chemen ladwati yo, akoz non sen Li an.

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

4 Malgre mwen ta mache nan vale lonbraj lanmò a, mwen p ap pè okenn mal, paske Ou avè m. Baton Ou avèk kwòk Ou fè m gen konfyans.

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

5 Ou ranje yon tab devan mwen nan prezans lènmi mwen yo. Ou onksyone tèt mwen avèk lwil. Tas mwen fin debòde nèt.

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

6 Anverite, bonte Ou avèk lanmou dous Ou va swiv mwen pou tout jou lavi mwen yo, E mwen va viv lakay SENYÈ a jis pou tout tan.

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.
