THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
Psalm 23
To Jehovah God my Shepherd I attend
My shepherd will not fail me in any moment.
My shepherd will make me lie down in vast places
Together with the slowly moving waters
My shepherd pastors me with his powerful voice.
To my soul he will give his strength
And through his love with great finesse
My shepherd will guide me through paths of justice
Although I walk in the valley of the shadow of death
I will not fear any evil, for at my side
Your rod and your staff will animate me.
You fill my table with flavor
In the presence of my oppressors
You anoint my head with oil
My cup spills out in delight
Mercy and good will come with me
And I will dwell sheltered with God.
(Written by a 16th century Spanish poet)
Prayer: We ask you, beloved God, that you give us all trust in You to live a full life. Amen
Translation by Deborah McEachran

EL SEÑOR ES MI PASTOR
Salmo 23
De Jehová Dios mi Pastor atento
No me faltará en ningún momento
Me hará yacer en lugares vastos
Junto a las aguas mansas en corriente
Me pastorea con su voz potente
A mi alma Él dará su fortaleza
Y por su amor con gran delicadeza
Me guiará por sendas de justicia
Aunque ande en valle de sombra de muerte
No temeré ningún mal, que a mi lado
Me alentarán tu vara y tu cayado
Pones mi mesa llena de sabores
En la presencia de mis opresores
Unges tú mi cabeza con aceite
Mi copa se derrama de deleite
Misericordia y bien vendrán conmigo
Y moraré de Jehová al abrigo
(Escrito por un poeta español del siglo XVI)
Oración: Te pedimos, Dios amado, que nos des toda la confianza en Ti para vivir una vida plena. Amén.
