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 reviveth my soul; He leadeth me in paths of safety, 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.

When I walk through a valley of deathlike shade, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy crook 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 shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
