耶和华是我的牧者

大卫的诗。

23 耶和华是我的牧者,
我必一无所缺。
祂让我安歇在青草地上,
领我到幽静的溪水旁。
祂使我的心灵苏醒,
为了自己的名引导我走正路。
我纵使走过死亡的幽谷,
也不怕遭害,
因为你与我同在,
你的杖和竿带给我安慰。
在我敌人面前你为我摆设宴席,
又用膏油浇我的头,
使我恩福满溢。
你的恩惠和慈爱必伴随我一生,
我要永远住在你的殿中。

O bom pastor

Salmo de Davi.

23 O SENHOR é o meu pastor,
    nada me faltará.
Ele me faz descansar em campos verdes,
    ele me leva para junto de águas tranquilas.
Ele renova a minha vida.
    Ele me guia por caminhos bons porque ele é bom.
Mesmo que eu caminhe pelo vale mais escuro,
    não terei medo de nada,
porque o Senhor está comigo;
    a sua vara e o seu cajado são a minha proteção.

Ele prepara um banquete para mim
    à vista dos meus inimigos.
O Senhor me recebeu com todas as honras[a]
    e encheu o meu copo até transbordar.
A sua bondade e o seu amor
    me acompanharão durante a minha vida,
e voltarei sempre à casa do SENHOR
    enquanto eu viver.

The Lord the Shepherd of His People

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is (A)my shepherd;
(B)I shall not [a]want.
(C)He makes me to lie down in [b]green pastures;
(D)He leads me beside the [c]still waters.
He restores my soul;
(E)He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of (F)the shadow of death,
(G)I will fear no evil;
(H)For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You (I)prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You (J)anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will [d]dwell in the house of the Lord
[e]Forever.
