詩篇 23

1 ダビデのうた ヱホバは我が牧者なり われ乏しきことあらじ

A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

2 ヱホバは我をみどりの野にふさせ いこひの水濱にともなひたまふ

He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

3 ヱホバはわが霊魂をいかし名のゆゑをもて我をただしき路にみちびき給ふ

He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

4 たとひわれ死のかげの谷をあゆむとも禍害をおそれじ なんぢ我とともに在せばなり なんぢの笞なんぢの杖われを慰む

For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

5 なんぢわが仇のまへに我がために筳をまうけ わが首にあぶらをそそぎたまふ わが酒杯はあふるるなり

Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

6 わが世にあらん限りはかならず恩恵と憐憫とわれにそひきたらん 我はとこしへにヱホバの宮にすまん

And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
