< Psalms 23 >
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.
A Melody of David. Yahweh, is my shepherd—I shall not want:
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters.
In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me;
3 He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name.
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.
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 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.
6 Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.
Surely, goodness and lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.
