Psalms 23

1 Saamu ti Dafidi. Olúwa ni olùṣọ́ èmi àgùntàn rẹ̀, èmi kì yóò ṣe aláìní.

A psalm of David. Since the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.

2 Ó mú mi dùbúlẹ̀ sí ibi pápá oko tútù, Ó mú mi lọ sí ibi omi dídákẹ́ rọ́rọ́,

He gives me rest in green fields. He leads me towards quietly flowing streams.

3 Ó mú ọkàn mi padà bọ̀ sípò. Ó mú mi lọ sí ọ̀nà òdodo nítorí orúkọ rẹ̀.

He revives me. He guides me along the right paths because that's the kind of person he is.

4 Bí mo tilẹ̀ ń rìn láàrín àfonífojì òjìji ikú, èmi kì yóò bẹ̀rù ibi kan, nítorí ìwọ wà pẹ̀lú mi; ọ̀gọ rẹ àti ọ̀pá à rẹ, wọ́n ń tù mí nínú.

Even when I walk through the valley dark as death, I'm not afraid of any evil, because you are right there with me; your rod and your staff protect me.

5 Ìwọ tẹ́ tábìlì oúnjẹ sílẹ̀ níwájú mi ní ojú àwọn ọ̀tá à mi. Ìwọ ta òróró sí mi ní orí; ago mí sì kún àkúnwọ́sílẹ̀.

You prepare a banquet for me before my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with olive oil. My cup is so full it overflows!

6 Nítòótọ́, ìre àti àánú ni yóò máa tọ̀ mí lẹ́yìn ní ọjọ́ ayé è mi gbogbo, èmi yóò sì máa gbé inú ilé Olúwa títí láéláé.

I'm absolutely certain that your goodness and trustworthy love will be with me all through my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.
