< Mazmur 23 >
1 Mazmur Daud. TUHAN adalah gembalaku, takkan kekurangan aku.
A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me.
2 Ia membaringkan aku di padang yang berumput hijau, Ia membimbing aku ke air yang tenang;
He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment.
3 Ia menyegarkan jiwaku. Ia menuntun aku di jalan yang benar oleh karena nama-Nya.
He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.
4 Sekalipun aku berjalan dalam lembah kekelaman, aku tidak takut bahaya, sebab Engkau besertaku; gada-Mu dan tongkat-Mu, itulah yang menghibur aku.
For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation.
5 Engkau menyediakan hidangan bagiku, di hadapan lawanku; Engkau mengurapi kepalaku dengan minyak; pialaku penuh melimpah.
You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is!
6 Kebajikan dan kemurahan belaka akan mengikuti aku, seumur hidupku; dan aku akan diam dalam rumah TUHAN sepanjang masa.
And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days.
