Psalmi 23

1 Gospod je moj pastir, ne bom trpel pomanjkanja.

A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd: I am never in need.

2 Napravlja mi, da se zleknem na zelenih pašnikih. Vodi me ob mirnih vodah.

He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters of rest,

3 Mojo dušo obnavlja. Zaradi svojega imena me vodi po stezah pravičnosti.

he refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to his name.

4 Da, čeprav hodim skozi dolino smrtne sence, se ne bom bal nobenega zla, kajti ti si z menoj; tvoja šiba in tvoja opora me tolažita.

And when my way lies through a valley of gloom, I fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff comfort me.

5 Pred menoj pripravljaš mizo, v prisotnosti mojih sovražnikov. Mojo glavo maziliš z oljem, moja čaša prekipeva.

You spread a table for me in face of my foes; with oil you anoint my head, and my cup runs over.

6 Zagotovo me bosta dobrota in usmiljenje spremljali vse dni mojega življenja, in v Gospodovi hiši bom prebival na veke.

Surely goodness and love will pursue me – all the days of my life. In the house of the Lord I will live through the length of the days.
