Salm 23
Is e Dia fhèin as buachaill dhomh, cha bhi mi ann an dìth. Bheir e fa-near gun laighinn sìos air cluainean glas' le sìth: Is fòs ri taobh nan aibhnichean thèid seachad sìos gu mall, A ta e ga mo threòrachadh, gu mìn rèidh anns gach ball. Tha 'g aiseag m'anam dhomh air ais: 's a' treòrachadh mo cheum Air slighean glan' na fìreantachd, air sgàth dheagh ainme fhèin. Seadh, fòs ged ghluaisinn eadhon trìd ghlinn dorcha sgàil' a' bhàis, Aon olc no urchuid a theachd orm chan eagal leam 's cha chàs; Airson gu bheil thu leam a-ghnàth, do lorg, 's do bhata treun, Tha iad a' tabhairt comhfhurtachd is fuasglaidh dhomh am fheum. Dhomh dheasaich bòrd air beul mo nàmh: le ola dh'ung mo cheann; Cur thairis tha mo chupan fòs, aig meud an làin a th'ann. Ach leanaidh math is tròcair rium, an cian a bhios mi beò; Is còmhnaicheam an àros Dhè, ri fad mo rè 's mo lò.

Psalm 23
Psalm. Of David.
My shepherd is Yahweh,
I want for nothing.
He lets me lie in fields of grass;
he leads me by quiet streams
to revive my spirit.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
as befits his name.
If I walked in the dark vale of death,
I would fear no danger
with you at my side;
Your staff and crook both comfort me.
You set a table for me
in the presence of my foes;
you have poured fine oils on my head
and my cup brims over.
Goodness and faithful love
will follow me all my life.
I make my home in Yahweh's house forever.
(From The Psalms, Slough (1994))
