Psalms 23

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

A Melody of David. Yahweh, 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.

In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me;

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

My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name.

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, though I walk through a valley death-shadowed, I will fear no harm, for, thou, art 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 spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run 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 lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.
