Psalms 23

1 Yahweh, you [care for] me [like] a shepherd [cares for his sheep]. [So] I have everything that I need.

Si Yahweh ang aking pastol; hindi ako magkukulang.

2 You [encourage] me [and give me peace]; [you are like a shepherd] who leads [his sheep] to places where there is plenty of green grass [for them to eat], and lets them rest beside streams where the water [is flowing] slowly.

Pinahihiga niya ako sa luntiang mga pastulan; inaakay niya ako sa tabi ng payapang tubigan.

3 You renew my strength. You guide me along the roads that are the right ones [for me] in order that I can honor you.

Binabalik niya ang aking buhay; ginagabayan niya ako sa tamang landas alang-alang sa kaniyang pangalan.

4 Even when I am walking through very dangerous dark ravines where I might be killed, I will not be afraid of anything because you are with me. You protect me [like a shepherd protects his sheep]. [He uses] his club and his walking stick [to protect them from being attacked by wild animals].

Kahit na lumakad ako sa gitna ng napakadilim na anino ng lambak, hindi ko katatakutan ang kapahamakan dahil ikaw ang kasama ko; ang iyong pamalo at iyong tungkod ang nagpapayapa sa akin.

5 You prepare a [great] feast for me, in a place where my enemies can see me. You [joyfully receive me], [as people joyfully receive the guests they have invited] [by] pouring [olive] oil over their heads. You have given me very many blessings!

Ipinaghahanda mo ako ng isang hapag sa harapan ng aking mga kaaway; binuhusan mo ng langis ang aking ulo; ang saro ko ay nag-uumapaw.

6 I am certain that you will be good to me and act mercifully toward me as long as I live; and [then, O] Yahweh, I will live in your home [in heaven] forever.

Tiyak na kabutihan at katapatan sa tipan ang hahabol sa akin sa lahat ng mga araw ng aking buhay; at ako ay mananahanan sa tahanan ni Yahweh habang buhay!
