Psalms 23

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

祂使我臥在青綠的草場，又領我走進幽靜的水旁。

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

祂使我的心靈得到舒暢。祂為了自己名號的原由，領我踏上了正義的坦途。

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

縱使我走過陰森的幽谷，我也不怕兇險，因你與我同住。

4 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.

你的牧杖和短棒，是我的安慰舒暢。

5 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!

祂在我對頭前面，為我擺設了筵席；祂在我的頭上傅油，使我的杯爵滿溢。

6 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.

在我一生歲月裏，幸福與慈愛常隨不離；我要住在上主的殿裏，直至悠遠的時日。
