1 En salme av David. Herren er min hyrde, mig fattes intet.

2 Han lar mig ligge i grønne enger, han leder mig til hvilens vann.

3 Han vederkveger min sjel, han fører mig på rettferdighets stier for sitt navns skyld.

4 Om jeg enn skulde vandre i dødsskyggens dal, frykter jeg ikke for ondt; for du er med mig, din kjepp og din stav de trøster mig.

5 Du dekker bord for mig like for mine fienders øine, du salver mitt hode med olje; mitt beger flyter over.

6 Bare godt og miskunnhet skal efterjage mig alle mitt livs dager, og jeg skal bo i Herrens hus gjennem lange tider.

1 A Psalm. Of David. The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

2 He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

3 He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

4 Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

5 You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

6 Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.
