Псалмул 23

1 Домнул есте Пэсторул меу: ну вой дуче липсэ де нимик.

Yahweh, you [care for] me [like] a shepherd [cares for his sheep]. [So] I have everything that I need.

2 Ел мэ паште ын пэшунь верзь ши мэ дуче ла апе де одихнэ;

You [encourage] me [and give me peace]; [you are like a shepherd] who leads [his sheep] to places where there is plenty of green grass [for them to eat], and lets them rest beside streams where the water [is flowing] slowly.

3 ымь ынвиорязэ суфлетул ши мэ повэцуеште пе кэрэрь дрепте дин причина Нумелуй Сэу.

You renew my strength. You guide me along the roads that are the right ones [for me] in order that I can honor you.

4 Кяр дакэ ар фи сэ умблу прин валя умбрей морций, ну мэ тем де ничун рэу, кэч Ту ешть ку мине. Тоягул ши нуяуа Та мэ мынгые.

Even when I am walking through very dangerous dark ravines where I might be killed, I will not be afraid of anything because you are with me. You protect me [like a shepherd protects his sheep]. [He uses] his club and his walking stick [to protect them from being attacked by wild animals].

5 Ту ымь ынтинзь маса ын фаца потривничилор мей, ымь унӂь капул ку унтделемн ши пахарул меу есте плин де дэ песте ел.

You prepare a [great] feast for me, in a place where my enemies can see me. You [joyfully receive me], [as people joyfully receive the guests they have invited] [by] pouring [olive] oil over their heads. You have given me very many blessings!

6 Да, феричиря ши ындураря мэ вор ынсоци ын тоате зилеле веций меле ши вой локуи ын Каса Домнулуй пынэ ла сфыршитул зилелор меле.

I am certain that you will be good to me and act mercifully toward me as long as I live; and [then, O] Yahweh, I will live in your home [in heaven] forever.
