Amahubo 23

1 INkosi ingumelusi wami, kangiyikuswela.

A psalm of David Yahweh [is] shepherd my not I lack.

2 Iyangilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza; iyangiholela emanzini okuphumula.

In pastures of grass he makes lie down me at waters of rest he leads me.

3 Ibuyisa umphefumulo wami, ingiholele endleleni zokulunga ngenxa yebizo layo.

Self my he restores he guides me in tracks of righteousness for [the] sake of name his.

4 Yebo, loba ngihamba esihotsheni sethunzi lokufa, kangiyikwesaba okubi, ngoba wena ulami; intonga yakho lodondolo lwakho, khona kuyangiduduza.

Also for I will go in a valley of deep darkness not I will fear harm for you [are] with me rod your and staff your they they comfort me.

5 Uyalungisa itafula phambi kwami ngaphambi kwezitha zami; ugcoba ikhanda lami ngamafutha, inkezo yami iyaphuphuma.

You arrange before me - a table before opposers my you have refreshed with oil head my cup my [is] saturation.

6 Isibili okuhle lesihawu kuzangilandela insuku zonke zempilo yami; njalo ngizahlala endlini yeNkosi kuze kube nininini.

Surely - good and covenant loyalty they will pursue me all [the] days of life my and I will return in [the] house of Yahweh for length of days.
