THE 23rd
PSALM
Cherokee Translation by Chief Standing Bear
Agigadiya gesvi Galonedi, naquadulisgvna gesesdi;
My Shepherd is The Lord, I not wanting shall be;
itseiyusdi wagadiyvdodi aquvnisinidi naquvneho,
Green pastures for me to lie down He makes.
Nav doyi amagev akatinidoha. Aquadadogi osdanagvne gudoviyvwanisata;
Beside still waters He leads me. My health He restores for His Namesake;
ustideganvnv vhnai onisdiniadvneti akatinido.
On the paths of righteousness He leads me.
ugedaliyv vhnai udayvladv vhnai ayohuhisdi yigedohi,
The valley of the Shadow of Death I walk,
uyoi nitsisgaiyvnvgesesdi; hiheno ginaligo.
Evil I will not fear, You are with me.
Gvnasda ale tsadolanvsdi nutsosedvnananvneho.
Your rod and Your staff give me comfort.
Tsotsadanuwi nav anedodvi gasyilo squadv nvquvtane;
My enemies near my presence, a table You prepare for them;
Tsisgoli agilonetiho nano agidadolistisgo; Aquatseli agugisti atsewegi.
My head with oil You anoint; My cup overflows.
Igohidaquv tsilenidohv osdadanige ale adadolisdi dagostawadesi,
All the days of my life goodness and mercy shall follow me,
Galonedi tsuwenvsv wagehisdi igohidaquugesv.
The Lord House I will dwell in forever.
Nearer My God to Thee: sung by Watters and daughters
