Psalms 23

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

En Psalme af David. Herren er min Hyrde, mig skal intet fattes.

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

Han lader mig ligge i skønne Græsgange; han leder mig til de stille rindende Vande.

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

Han vederkvæger min Sjæl; han fører mig paa Retfærdigheds Veje for sit Navns Skyld.

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.

Naar jeg end skal vandre i Dødens Skygges Dal, vil jeg ikke frygte for ondt, thi du er med mig; din Kæp og din Stav, de skulle trøste mig.

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!

Du bereder et Bord for mig over for mine Fjender; du har salvet mit Hoved med Olie, mit Bæger flyder over.

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.

Ikkun godt og Miskundhed skal følge mig alle mine Livsdage, og jeg skal blive i Herrens Hus igennem lange Tider.
