Psalmi 23

1 Gospod je moj pastir, ne bom trpel pomanjkanja.

A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

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

He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

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

He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

4 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.

For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

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

Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!

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

And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
