Psalms 23

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

Gospod je moj pastir, ne bom trpel pomanjkanja.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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