Psalms 23

1 A Psalme of David. The Lord is my shepheard, I shall not want.

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

2 He maketh me to rest in greene pasture, and leadeth me by the still waters.

He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

3 He restoreth my soule, and leadeth me in the paths of righteousnesse for his Names sake.

He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for the sake of His name.

4 Yea, though I should walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I will feare no euill: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staffe, they comfort me.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 Thou doest prepare a table before me in the sight of mine aduersaries: thou doest anoynt mine head with oyle, and my cuppe runneth ouer.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Doubtlesse kindnesse and mercie shall follow me all the dayes of my life, and I shall remaine a long season in the house of the Lord.

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
