The Lord the Shepherd

A psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my shepherd;
    I ·have everything I need [L will lack nothing].
He ·lets me rest [makes me lie down] in green pastures.
    He leads me to ·calm [quiet] water.
He ·gives me new strength [T renews my soul].
He leads me on paths that are ·right [righteous; or straight]
    for the ·good [sake] of his ·name [reputation].
Even if I walk through ·a very dark valley [or the shadow of death],
    I will ·not be afraid [T fear no evil],
because you are with me.
    Your rod and your shepherd’s staff comfort me.

You prepare a ·meal [L table] for me
    in ·front [the presence] of my enemies.
You ·pour oil of blessing on my head [anoint my head with oil; C oil was a means of refreshment in a hot, dry environment];
    you ·fill my cup to overflowing [L make my cup overflow; C a cup of blessing].
Surely your goodness and ·love [loyalty; T mercy] will ·be with [pursue; T follow] me
    all my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord ·forever [L for length of days].

Psalmul 23

O cântare a lui David

Domnul este Păstorul(A) meu: nu voi duce lipsă de nimic(B).
El mă paşte în(C) păşuni verzi
şi mă duce la(D) ape de odihnă;
îmi înviorează sufletul
şi mă(E) povăţuieşte pe cărări drepte
din pricina Numelui Său.
Chiar dacă ar fi să umblu prin valea umbrei(F) morţii,
nu mă tem de(G) niciun rău, căci(H) Tu eşti cu mine.
Toiagul şi nuiaua Ta mă mângâie.
Tu(I) îmi întinzi masa în faţa potrivnicilor mei,
îmi ungi capul cu untdelemn(J)
şi paharul meu este plin de dă peste el.
Da, fericirea şi îndurarea mă vor însoţi
în toate zilele vieţii mele
şi voi locui în Casa Domnului până la sfârşitul zilelor mele.

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd,(A) I lack nothing.(B)
    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,(C)
    he refreshes my soul.(D)
He guides me(E) along the right paths(F)
    for his name’s sake.(G)
Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,[a](H)
I will fear no evil,(I)
    for you are with me;(J)
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

You prepare a table(K) before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;(L)
    my cup(M) overflows.
Surely your goodness and love(N) will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

  1. Psalm 23:4 Or the valley of the shadow of death

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

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.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
