< Psalmi 23 >
1 Dāvida dziesma. Tas Kungs ir mans gans, man netrūks nenieka.
A psalm of David. Since the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.
2 Viņš man liek ganīties uz zālainām ganībām, Viņš mani vada pie palēna ūdens.
He gives me rest in green fields. He leads me towards quietly flowing streams.
3 Viņš atspirdzina manu dvēseli, Viņš mani ved uz taisnības ceļiem Sava Vārda dēļ.
He revives me. He guides me along the right paths because that's the kind of person he is.
4 Jebšu es arī staigātu nāves ēnas ielejā, taču ļaunuma nebīstos; jo Tu esi pie manis, Tavs koks(ganu vēzda) un Tavs zizlis mani iepriecina.
Even when I walk through the valley dark as death, I'm not afraid of any evil, because you are right there with me; your rod and your staff protect me.
5 Tu sataisi manā priekšā galdu pret maniem ienaidniekiem, Tu svaidi manu galvu ar eļļu, mans biķeris ir papilnam pieliets.
You prepare a banquet for me before my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with olive oil. My cup is so full it overflows!
6 Tiešām, labums un žēlastība mani pavadīs visu manu mūžu, un es palikšu Tā Kunga namā vienmēr.
I'm absolutely certain that your goodness and trustworthy love will be with me all through my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
