Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

A PSALM OF DAVID. YHWH [is] my shepherd, I do not lack,

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside still waters.

He causes me to lie down in pastures of tender grass, He leads me by quiet waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

He refreshes my soul, He leads me in paths of righteousness For His Name’s sake;

4 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.

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

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup runneth over.

You arrange a table before me, In front of my adversaries, You have anointed my head with oil, My cup is full!

6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever.

Surely goodness and kindness pursue me All the days of my life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of YHWH, For [the] length of [my] days!
