Salmos 23

Die Here is my herder.

1 'n PSALM van Dawid.

Die Here is my herder; niks sal my ontbreek nie.

2 Hy laat my neerlê in groen weivelde; na waters waar rus is, lei Hy my heen.

3 Hy verkwik my siel; Hy lei my in die spore van geregtigheid, om sy Naam ontwil.

4 Al gaan ek ook in 'n dal van doodskaduwee, ek sal geen onheil vrees nie; want U is met my: u stok en u staf dié vertroos my.

5 U berei die tafel voor my aangesig teenoor my teëstanders; U maak my hoof vet met olie; my beker loop oor.

6 Net goedheid en guns sal my volg al die dae van my lewe; en ek sal in die huis van die Here bly in lengte van dae.

A Psalm of David.

1 Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;

He leadeth me beside still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul:

He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil; for thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

Thou hast anointed my head with oil;

My cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever.
