Psalms 23

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord tends me as a shepherd, and I shall want nothing.

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

2 In a place of green grass, there he has made me dwell: he has nourished me by the water of rest.

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

3 He has restored my soul: he has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for his name's sake.

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

4 Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, these have comforted me.

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.

5 Thou has prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: thou hast thoroughly anointed my head with oil; and thy cup cheers me like the best [wine].

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

6 Thy mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling [shall be] in the house of the Lord for a very long time.

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