Psalms 23

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

Psalm Davidov; Gospod je pastir moj; slabo se mi ne more goditi.

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

Na pašnikih travnatih skrbi da ležim, poleg tihih vodâ me vodi.

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

Pokojno dela dušo mojo, po pravice stezah me vodi, zavoljo svojega imena.

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.

Tudi ko bi hodil po dolini smrtne sence, ne bal bi se zlega, ker ti si z menoj; šiba tvoja in palica tvoja tolažiti me.

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!

Pred menoj napravljaš mizo, sovražnikom mojim nasproti; z mazilom maziliš glavo mojo, kupa moja je polna do vrha.

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.

Zgolj dobrota in milost bodeti me spremljale vse dnî življenja mojega; in pokojen bodem v hiši Gospodovi, dokler bodejo dolgi časi.
