Psalms 23

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

Gospod je moj pastir, ne bom trpel pomanjkanja.

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

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

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

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

4 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.

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

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

6 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.

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