Psalms 23

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

Psaume de David. L'Éternel est mon berger; je n'aurai point de disette.

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

Il me fait reposer dans de verts pâturages; Il me mène le long des eaux tranquilles.

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

Il restaure mon âme; Il me conduit dans des sentiers unis, Pour l'amour de son nom.

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.

Même quand je marcherais dans la vallée de l'ombre de la mort, Je ne craindrais aucun mal! Car tu es avec moi: C'est ton bâton et ta houlette qui me consolent.

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!

Tu dresses la table devant moi, A la vue de ceux qui me persécutent. Tu oins ma tête d'huile; ma coupe déborde.

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.

Oui, le bonheur et la grâce m'accompagneront Tous les jours de ma vie, Et je passerai de longs jours dans la maison de l'Éternel.
