Text & Translation

Hospodin jest můj pastýř
Czech source: The Bible of Králice (16th century)

Hospodin jest můj pastýř;
Nebudu míti nedostatku.
Na pastvách zelených pase mne,
K vodám tichým mne přivodí.
Duši mou občerstvuje;
Vodí mne po stezkách
Spravedlnosti pro jméno své.
Byt' se mi dostalo jíti
Přes údolí stínu smrti:
Nebudut' se báti zlého,
Nebo Ty se mnou jsi;
A prut Tvůj a hůl Tvá,
Tot' mne potěšuje.

The Lord is my shepherd
English translation © The King James Bible

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.

Psalm 23:1-4
