Psalms 23

1 A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd: I am never in need.

祂使我臥在青綠的草場，又領我走進幽靜的水旁。

2 He lays me down in green pastures. He gently leads me to waters of rest,

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 refreshes my life. He guides me along paths that are straight, true to his name.

縱使我走過陰森的幽谷，我也不怕兇險，因你與我同住。

4 And when my way lies through a valley of gloom, I fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff comfort me.

你的牧杖和短棒，是我的安慰舒暢。

5 You spread a table for me in face of my foes; with oil you anoint my head, and my cup runs over.

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 Surely goodness and love will pursue me – all the days of my life. In the house of the Lord I will live through the length of the 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。
