Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord directs me, and nothing will be lacking to me.

Se yon sòm David. Seyè a se gadò mwen, mwen p'ap janm manke anyen.

2 He has settled me here, in a place of pasture. He has led me out to the water of refreshment.

Kote zèb yo pi bèl, se la li fè m' pran repo. Kote dlo a koule poze, se la li mennen m' bwè.

3 He has converted my soul. He has led me away on the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.

Li fè m' reprann fòs. Li fè m' mache nan chemen dwat, pou sa sèvi yon lwanj pou non li.

4 For, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they have given me consolation.

Menm si m'ap pase nan yon ravin kote ki fè nwa anpil, mwen p'ap pè anyen, paske, Seyè, ou la avèk mwen. Se baton ou ak gòl ou ki fè kè m' pa kase.

5 You have prepared a table in my sight, opposite those who trouble me. You have anointed my head with oil, and my cup, which inebriates me, how brilliant it is!

Ou pare yon tab pou mwen devan je tout lènmi m' yo. Ou resevwa m', ou fè kè m' kontan ou ban m' tou sa m' bezwen.

6 And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and so may I dwell in the house of the Lord for length of days.

Wi, mwen konnen w'ap toujou renmen m', w'ap toujou bon pou mwen pandan tout lavi m'. Se lakay ou m'ap rete tout tan tout tan.
