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。

耶和華為牧者

23 大衛的詩。

耶和華是我的牧者,我必不致缺乏。
他使我躺臥在青草地上,領我在可安歇的水邊。
他使我的靈魂甦醒,為自己的名引導我走義路。
我雖然行過死蔭的幽谷,也不怕遭害,因為你與我同在,你的杖、你的竿都安慰我。
在我敵人面前,你為我擺設筵席,你用油膏了我的頭,使我的福杯滿溢。
我一生一世必有恩惠、慈愛隨著我,我且要住在耶和華的殿中,直到永遠。

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

(A psalm by David.)

The Good Shepherd

You, Lord, are my shepherd.
    I will never be in need.
(A) You let me rest in fields
    of green grass.
You lead me to streams
of peaceful water,
    and you refresh my life.

You are true to your name,
and you lead me
    along the right paths.
I may walk through valleys
as dark as death,
    but I won't be afraid.
You are with me,
and your shepherd's rod[a]
    makes me feel safe.

You treat me to a feast,
    while my enemies watch.
You honor me as your guest,
and you fill my cup
    until it overflows.
Your kindness and love
will always be with me
    each day of my life,
and I will live forever
    in your house, Lord.
