Psalms 23

1 A Psalm. Of David. The Lord takes care of me as his sheep; I will not be without any good thing.

Jehovah is my shepherd, I shall not want.

2 He makes a resting-place for me in the green fields: he is my guide by the quiet waters.

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

3 He gives new life to my soul: he is my guide in the ways of righteousness because of his name.

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

4 Yes, though I go through the valley of deep shade, I will have no fear of evil; for you are with me, your rod and your support are my comfort.

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.

5 You make ready a table for me in front of my haters: you put oil on my head; my cup is overflowing.

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

6 Truly, blessing and mercy will be with me all the days of my life; and I will have a place in the house of the Lord all my days.

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