< Psalmi 23 >

1 Gospod je pastir moj, ništa mi neæe nedostajati.
Yahweh, you [care for] me [like] a shepherd [cares for his sheep]. [So] I have everything that I need.
2 Na zelenoj paši pase me, vodi me na tihu vodu.
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 Dušu moju oporavlja, vodi me stazama pravednim imena radi svojega.
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 Da poðem i dolinom sjena smrtnoga, neæu se bojati zla; jer si ti sa mnom; štap tvoj i palica tvoja tješi me.
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 Postavio si preda mnom trpezu na vidiku neprijateljima mojim; namazao si uljem glavu moju, i èaša je moja preopuna.
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 Da! dobrota i milost tvoja pratiæe me u sve dane života mojega, i ja æu nastavati u domu Gospodnjem zadugo.
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.
