1Ein Psalm. Von David. Der HERR ist mein Hirte, mir wird nichts mangeln. (Ps 34,10; Joh 10,11)2Er lagert mich auf grünen Auen, er führt mich zu stillen Wassern. (Hes 34,14; Offb 7,17)3Er erquickt meine Seele. Er leitet mich in Pfaden der Gerechtigkeit um seines Namens willen. (Ps 31,4; Ps 106,8; Ps 109,21; Spr 4,11; Jer 31,25)4Auch wenn ich wandere im Tal des Todesschattens[1], fürchte ich kein Unheil, denn du bist bei mir; dein Stecken und dein Stab, sie trösten mich. (Jes 43,2)5Du bereitest vor mir einen Tisch angesichts meiner Feinde; du hast mein Haupt mit Öl gesalbt, mein Becher fließt über. (Ps 92,11)6Nur Güte und Gnade werden mir folgen alle Tage meines Lebens; und ich kehre zurück ins[2] Haus des HERRN für immer[3]. (Ps 27,4)
1The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.2He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,3he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.4Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[1] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.6Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
1The LORD is my shepherd. He gives me everything I need.2He lets me lie down in fields of green grass. He leads me beside quiet waters.3He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths for the honour of his name.4Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid. You are with me. Your shepherd’s rod and staff comfort me.5You prepare a feast for me right in front of my enemies. You pour oil on my head. My cup runs over.6I am sure that your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life. And I will live in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 23
King James Version
1A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name' sake.4Yea, 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.5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
