Psalms 23

1 Jehovah is my shepherd, I shall not want.

A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By quiet waters He doth lead me.

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of righteousness, For His name's sake,

4 Yea, tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou are with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Also — when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod and Thy staff — they comfort me.

5 Thou prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Thou have anointed my head with oil. My cup runs over.

Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is full!

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah forever.

Only — goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a length of days!
