भजनसंग्रह 23

1 परमप्रभु मेरो गोठाला हुनुहुन्छ । मलाई कुनै कुरा खाँचो पर्नेछैन ।

A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall lack nothing.

2 उहाँले मलाई हरियो खर्कहरूमा सुताउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले मलाई शान्‍त पानीको छेउमा डोर्‍याउनुहुन्छ ।

In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

3 उहाँले मेरो जीवनलाई पुनर्जीवित पार्नुहुन्छ । उहाँले आफ्‍नो नाउँको खातिर मलाई ठिक बाटो देखाउनुहुन्छ ।

He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

4 मैले निस्‍पट्ट अँध्‍यारो छायाको बेसीमा हिंड्‍नुपर्दा पनि, हानिसँग म डराउनेछैन किनभने तपाईं मसँग हुनुहुन्छ । तपाईंको लट्ठी र तपाईंको लौरोले मलाई सान्त्वना दिन्छन् ।

Yes, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, these have comforted me.

5 मेरा शत्रुहरूका सामु तपाईंले मेरो निम्ति भोज तयार पार्नुहुन्छ । तपाईंले मेरो शिरलाई तेलले अभिषेक गर्नुभएको छ । मेरो कचौरा भरिएर पोखिन्छ ।

You has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: you have thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and your cup cheers me like the best [wine].

6 निश्‍चय नै, मेरो जीवनका सारा दिन भलाइ र करारको विश्‍वस्‍तता मेरो पछि आउनेछ । र परमप्रभुको मन्‍दिरमा म सधैंभरि वास गर्नेछु ।

Your mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.
