Псалми 23

1 Псалом Давидів.

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

2 на пасови́ськах зелених осе́лить мене́, на тихую воду мене запрова́дить!

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 Він душу мою відживля́є, прова́дить мене́ ради Йме́ння Свого́ по стежка́х справедливости.

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 Коли я піду́ хоча б навіть долиною смертної те́мряви, то не буду боятися злого, бо Ти при мені, — Твоє же́зло й Твій по́сох — вони мене вті́шать!

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 Ти передо мною трапе́зу згото́вив при моїх ворогах, мою го́лову Ти намасти́в був оливою, моя чаша — то на́дмір пиття́!

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 Ті́льки добро́ й милосердя мене супрово́дити будуть по всі дні мого життя, а я пробува́тиму в домі Господньому довгі часи́!

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.
