Sòm 23

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

A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.

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

In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

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

He has restored my soul: he has guided me into 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.

Yes, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, these have comforted me.

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

You has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].

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.

Your mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
