Psalms 23:1-4
Ujehova ungumelusi wami, angiyikeswela. Uyangilalisa emadlelweni aluhlaza, uyangiyisa ngasemanzini okuphuma, Ubuyisa umphefumulo wami, uyangihola ezindleleni zokulunga ngenxa yegama lakhe,
Noma ngihamba esigodini sethunzi lokufa, angesabi okubi, ngokuba wena unami, intonga yakho nodondolo lwakho ziyangiduduza.
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3: He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4: 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.
